Youth club
experiment in
reat SuttonNEW youth club is being piloted
at Hope Farm community centre.
Feedback from the local
eighbourhood Action Group
to the Councils Our Place team
showed that a youth group
or forum was needed in the
area to help tackle antisocial
behaviour and give young people
somewhere to go.
The Council worked to secure the
premises and will now provide
outh workers for a 12-week
pilot club for 12-16 year-olds on
Tuesdays from 6-8.30pm.
Local member Cllr Paul Donovan,
who supported the project with
llr icole Meardon, said: There
hasnt been youth provision in
this area of Ellesmere Port formany years now and I really
welcome efforts to engage with
our young people.
This pilot project will provide
a safe and educational place to
work with local young people and
keep them off the streets and I
hope many of them come along
next Tuesday and see whats on
offer.The youth club pilot will run
from next week until Christmas.
Dependent on numbers and the
success of the scheme I hope to
see it continue next year.

Plans revealed
for towns new
leisure villageLLE R Ports sports and leisure
village is a step closer a ter concept design
plans were unveiled.
The plans, which will see a state-o -the-
art leisure acility on the pre erred ormer
Stanney High School site, will include an
eight court hall with a seating capacity o
400, 25 metre, eight-lane competition
swimming pool, a learner pool and80-station gym.
Phase two o the plans would also see the
utilisation o the existing athletics track,
with the capacity to add a grand stand and
indoor athletics provision to create a high-
class acility capable o hosting regional
events.
The Council had already committed 12.5
million to the project, and the xecut ve
will be asked to approve a urther 1.5million to secure the plans in October. A bid
has also been submitted to Sport nglands
conic Facilities und.
Concept
Executive Member for Culture and
ecreation, Councillor Stuart Parker, said:
This is very much the beginning of the
process to provide residents of Ellesmere
ort with a high-class leisure offer and
many of the ideas are in concept stage.
We are working with both stakeholders
and members of the public to make sure
that local needs are met in the inal designs
and already have the support of Sport
ngland and the Cheshire Jets, who will call
the facility home.
The door is still very much open for local
residents and stakeholders to have their
say and help to shape the inal plans butthink the concept designs are extremely
exciting and will offer our residents in
llesmere Port, and indeed visitors from
further aield, high-class facilities.
e will continue to engage with all
throughout the design process, and a
second public consultation will take place
before the planning application next year.
Pool
Local member, Cllr Justin Madders, said: I
hope that it can be demonstrated that there
is suficient support for a larger, 50m pool
that would serve as a regional centre o
excellence.
Cllr Parker added: now have
preliminary dates for many of the milestone
points in the process and following furtherconsultation to be carried out through this
year we hope to have a detailed design by
April 2013.
Construction should begin in autumn
2013, with the building opening in spring
2015.
Most importantly this needs to be a
community facility, fully inclusive and
accessible to all, and I hope local people
will work with us to ensure that local needsare met.

Community Newsin association with Essar Oil
A E charitable donation scheme
set up by Stanlow re inery has hit the
ground running with a 3,000 gi t to
the Hospice o the Good Shepherd at
Back ord.
he Essar- unded scheme, named
Lets Give, has replaced the Shell-
operated SavenScore scheme whichdonated many thousands o pounds
to local charities over a 10-year
period.
Donations rom Lets Give are based
on Stanlow employees achieving
high levels o sa ety per ormance.
Following the re inerys recent
achievement o working 10 million
man-hours without a lost-time injury,
site management decided to boostthe 18,000 Lets Give donation pot
by a urther 10,000 to enable more
local worthy causes to bene it.
And the very irst to bene it rom the new scheme was the Hospice o the Good Shepherd which was
nominated by Stanlows chie inspection engineer Paul ilcox whose mum spent time there be ore
she passed away in October o last year.
Said Paul: We had the beneit of the hospice soon after my mum was diagnosed with cancer.
Although I lived less than a ew miles rom the acility I was not aware o the crucial support it
provided to this community. The sta there were a tremendous help to my mum, and I vowed that I
ould continue to repay them or all o the support they provided to her and my amily, and still do.Following con irmation o the Essar donation, Paul took Stanlow site manager Jon Mason on a tour o
the hospice, meeting patients and sta who thanked the company or the donation. Said r ason:
I was extremely impressed by the Backford operation. Staff there do a tremendous job on behalf of
the local community and deserve all the help they can get. Im delighted that Stanlow employees were
able to make a contribution to the hospice unds with their irst-ever
Lets Give donation.

OVING IN TOG TH RITH mortgage rates low and the cost of
living going up the option to move in with
your partner is increasingly tempting for
many people.
a ing up together every day, enjoying cosy
nights in, decorating and DI and saving
money as two live as cheaply as one - there
are many reasons why setting up home with
your partner seems li e a great idea.
Moving in together is a thrilling andromantic time, full of optimism about your
shared future. Its easy to understand why
few people stop and think about their legal
position.
Many people living with a partner do
not realise that, even in this day and age,
unmarried couples are not protected by law
in the same way that married couples are.
For example, did you know that if you movein with your partner and the house is only in
their name you have no rights to the proceeds
from the sale of the house - or to inherit the
house if they die?
Every year many people discover that even
though theyve handed their partner money
each month towards the mortgage and the
ills, they have no claim on the property
because its only in their partners name.
Their relationship ends or their partner dies
and they are left homeless and out of pocket.
If you are thinking about - or already have
- moved in with your partner, its well worth
taking legal advice to ind out what rights you
have, where you and your partner stand with
the law in all situations, and what you can do
to ma e your position more secure.

CHESHIRE West and Chester
Council has launched an empty
shop refurbishment programme in
Ellesmere Port in to improve the area
and bring properties back into use.
Looking to target long-term vacant
shops in the old high street of Whitby
Road, the grant scheme aims to bring
properties back into use, improvethe appearance of the street, help
increase footfall for the other shops,
and support the regeneration of the
wider area.
Landlords will be asked to rent
out their unused retail unit to local
community interest groups for a two-
year period, receiving a peppercorn
rent and beneitting from a grant to
bring the property back up to modernspeciications in return.
Executive Member for Prosperity,
Councillor Herbert Manley, said: With
the current economic climate Whitby
Road has many unused retail outlets
and encouraging landlords to claim
this grant will not only improve the
appearance of one of the main routes
into the town but will bring properties
back into use.This means that following
refurbishment works the shutters
will not go down again waiting for a
commercial tenant, but will actually
open up to welcome a not-for-proit
local user.
Landlords with empty properties
may not be able to renovate on their
own but with the aid of this grant their
facilities will be upgraded, puttingthem in the market for new tenants in
the future.
Local member, Councillor Justin
Madders, said: I know the Councils
Regeneration team has already
received one application from a
landlord with a property empty for
over ive years who is looking to work
with an organisation to open an art
gallery.As one of the main approaches to
the town it is vital that the view along
Whitby Road is a positive as possible.
The grant scheme is available
to landlords of long-term vacant
shops. For further information, or to
request an application form, please
contact Town Centre Improvement
Manager Jochem Hollestelle by
Grants to revitalise vacant shops

LATE AUTUMN DELIGHTSARDENI BY JANE
V apprec ate t e smaower ng or o age nterest n your
garden and it is worthwhile taking awa roun t e gar en to see t osep ants t at g ve us a t n ar ays.
Flowers are in short supply so if you arelucky and have the right conditions forgrowing Nerines, then you may have someof their exotic pink owers still around. Theylike a well drained soil in sun such as at the
base of a wall to keep the frost from rottingthe bulbs.
I nd that perennials such as Pulmonariahave lovely leaves in autumn. They put outnew growth when the soil becomes wetterafter summer. They look lovely paired withHeuchera with deep red foliage to offset thesilver blotched leaves of the Pulmonaria..
Ferns also provide green in darker placesso consider the Asplenium or Harts Tongueferns with glossy green leaves or Polystichumsetiferum, the soft shield fern that will give afan of cool green colour.
Berries on Sorbus, the Mountain Ash maystill be around although the red berries seemto be eaten by birds rst but orange, yellowand cream berries are left well into winter.
Rose hips like little pot belliedpots on Rosa rugosa var et es arebright red, bringing a splash ofcolour.
Jobs to do around the garden includenishing planting tulip bulbs which can go
in later than daffodils. Also gather up leavesfrom the lawn and those smothering smallerplants. Stack them in a separate compost binor put in a bin liner to rot down. Keep theleaves moist to encourage rotting and after acouple of years you will have superb compost.
Ponds should be netted if they are neartrees to stop leaves falling into the waterand rotting. Remove any dead foliage fromwaterside plants and water lilies.
I cut down any dying foliage that will not lookgood when frosted but I tend to leave plantslike Sedums in place because their owerheads look lovely dusted with frost. Slightlytender plants can have foliage left in place toact as a mulch and protect them from coldtemperatures.
Dig up dahlia tubers, remove the foliageand store in a frost free and mouse free placeover winter to dry out. They can be planted in
spring to grow again next year.

OX & VALDY
Brother and sister, want to
stay together
Sox and Valdy are nine
months old brother and sis-
ter. They came into our care
when their owner moved into
rented accomodation and the
landlord doesnt allow pets
They are friendly and very
close to each other so we
would like to home them as
a pair
Ref: H12-63
NOWY
A gentle girl, Snowy has come intoour care as her owner could no longer
care for her. She recently had a litter
of kittens but has now been neutered
and micro chipped and has started her
course of vaccinations. We think most
homes would suit her but as we do not
know how she is with other animals; a
house with no other pets may be best
Snowy is about 18 months old
