SERIOUS concerns at the lack of funding for the arts were voiced at the annual meeting of Warrington Arts Council. Chairman Margaret Tye spoke of "the acute shortage of funding for most artistic needs." There was particular concern for the future of the 12-year-old bi-annual Warrington Young Musicians competition which this year proved to be the most successful ever but which was now threatened because of a lack of money. Secretary Peter Wilson said he was hopeful it would not be the last competition as there had been a few ‘encouraging noises’ which might help raise the £7,000 needed to stage another in 2012. On a more positive note, the chairman spoke of the success of the Saturday lunchtime recitals at Holy Trinity Church and the Stockton Heath Festival. Two pictures exhibited at an exhibition at The Studio, in Wilderspool Causeway had been purchased and given to the town. It was hoped that they, and other pictures purchased over the years by the Arts Council, could be put on show as a single exhibition at Warrington Museum and Art Gallery. The meeting ended with a 40-minute piano recital by talented brothers Jackie and Geordie Campbell, (picture above). Jackie, aged nine, studies at Chetham's School of Music in Manchester and George, aged seven, is to start there in September.

Getting tough with town centre crime TOWN Hall licensing chiefs at Warrington have been asked to approve a three-month consultation on tough new measures designed to reduce crime, disorder and public nuisance in the troubled town centre. The proposed ‘cumulative impact policy’ would cover parts of the town centre and also Stockton Heath, where the number and type of pubs, bars and clubs are causing problems of nuisance and disorder. The effect of adopting a cumulative impact policy (CIP) would be to create a presumption that applications for new licences or variations to existing licences would normally be refused unless it can be shown that the operator of the premises involved will not add to the cumulative impact already being experienced. Police have submitted a request to the borough council to establish a CIP to restrict the growth of licensed premises in the town centre and at Stockton Heath. 20 www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk July 2010 Soccer camp success A SPECIAL soccer skills camp held at Coach Simon Dow, who is running WM Warrington Town FC proved to be a Warrington Active Soccer said:"We widdows mason huge success and now plans are in had a fantastic response to our Qrst the pipeline for more events. soccer skills camps at Warrington Town and unfortunately it proved so WM Organised in conjunction with popular we had to turn some SOLICITORS Active Soccer, the soccer skills camps are backed by soccer star Robbie youngsters away.

MEMBERS of the congregation of Latchford Baptist Church on Loushers Lane and the 2nd Warrington West Scout Group who meet opposite the church, teamed up for a litter pick around the Loushers Lane area. Rev. Lee Gilbert who organised the event, with the help of Warrington Borough Council, said: “It was a great opportunity to show the local community that both the scouts and the church care for local residents and their environment.” After the litter pick had Qnished, both groups had some Qsh and chips from the Cantilever chippy and ensured that all of the chip wrappers were placed in the bin!
