WE share the concern of local tradersat the decision of the Nat West Bankto close its Lymm branch onWednesdays and Thursdays.

No doubt the decision was madefar away from Lymm, so we have nocriticism of the local staff who, fromall accounts, have providedcustomers with an excellent serviceand will doubtless continue to strive todo so.

We are aware of the growth ofonline and telephone banking andthe availability of ATM facilities. Butwe believe banks have a greaterresponsibility, particularly in villagecommunities such as Lymm, wherethey have always acted as a magnetto draw people into the shoppingarea.

The traders are worried about theimpact on footfall. The bank,

apparently, is not.Elsewhere in this issue we report on

the fears of traders, the concerns ofresidents and the attitude of the bank.When we approached the bank - notlocally, of course, but through somedistant communications department -one of the issues we raised was theeffect on footfall in the village.

Readers will note that the bank'sresponse makes no mention of this - infact it actually suggests that customerscould go to the branch in StocktonHeath.

Precisely what Lymm traders fear.Nat West is, of course, part of

RBS, one of the banks rescued by theGovernment and revealed as runningup the biggest losses of any bank inthe world in a survey of the world'stop 1,000 banks by The Bankermagazine after suffering losses of

more than £35bn in 2008/09.In fairness, it was also ranked the

fourth safest after Government fundingof £18bn was taken into account.

In Lymm, unfortunately, there areonly three banks.

Lymm Parish Council has sent thecommunity association congratulations.

Headed by Catherine Sharman,Kay Hilton and shot by Cheshirephotographer Sandi Hodkinson, thegroup wanted to do something a ‘bitcheeky’ and decided it was a fun andunusual way to raise money forcancer charities.

“It’s also been brilliant for thecommunity and shows that all thechaps in Lymm are game for alaugh,” said Cath. “You’d think menwould be shy about baring all, butwe had so much interest from localbusinesses that we even had to turn

some people away. Who knows –this could be the launch of amodelling career for some of them!”

Among those taking part is Lymm’sTown Crier Peter Powell, theHopkinson butchers, Lymm wood-burner installer Jamie Sharman andXorist Karl Welsh.

The cheeky chappies were allmore than happy to do their bit forcharity, but did use props or certainposes to keep the images tasteful.

The Nat West bank at Lymm is toclose on Wednesdays and Thursdaysfrom September

Angry traders say the bank'sdecision could have a serious impacton footfall in the village, as well ascausing tremendous inconveniencefor cash businesses and othercustomers.

Phil Sexton, chairman of the villagetraders' association said: "Nat Westare basically saying to all ourcustomers: 'We don't want you tocome to Lymm on Wednesdays andThursdays - go to Stockton Heathinstead."

Shopkeepers in Lymm have beenexpressing concern about the numberof people shopping in the village forsome years.

They fought a lengthy battle to getpay-and-display parking - a movethey believe has helped arrest thedecline in footfall.

But there has also been concernover road works and changes to localshops which some believe may havedriven more shoppers away.

Mr Sexton said some businesseswould not be too worried about thebank closing because most of theirtransactions were processed by cardor online.

But the implications for footfall onWednesdays and Thursday wereserious.

There could also be an effect onthe other days of the week when areduced staff at the bank was alreadystruggling to cope.

"Having to serve all their customersin almost half-the-time suggests it willbe double the wait – and its notunusual to be there 15 minutes now!"

Mr Sexton is recommending hismembers to "vote with their feet" byswitching to a bank that will supportLymm.

"I am moving my account and havebeen amazed at how uncompetitiveNat West have become. We willsave in excess of £4,000-a-year."

He added: "I tried to reverse NatWest's decision but unfortunately theywon't reconsider, so there is noalternative but to support a bank thatsupports Lymm."

A Nat West customer said: "I shallwrite to the bank but this will make nodifference I am sure.

"Do banks appreciate that this isnot just about closing a couple ofdays/ disruption to some of their'valued' customers but may denytrade to the other businesses on thosedays? Do they really think beyondbonuses/proWt or is this amanagement strategy that has beentaken with no real thought for theimpact it can have on local people?"

Coun Sheila Woodyatt said: "Iagree with the traders that thisdecision could have a serious impacton footfall in the village. "

A spokesman for Nat West saidthe Lymm branch offered only parttime banking, between 10am and3pm and that transactions had fallenover the last few years - particularlyon Wednesdays and Thursdays.There would be no redundancies as a

result.He added: "The decision to

reduce hours at Lymm branch was nottaken lightly, but is a response tofalling customer demand at thebranch. Any customers needing tovisit a branch outside the revisedhours can do so at the Stockton Heathor Warrington branches. ATMfacilities and a night safe remainavailable at the Lymm branch outsidethe revised hours. Customers alsohave 24-hour access to our telephoneand online banking services."

Storm over bank'sclosure decision

A STORM has broken over a bank's decision to close two daysa week.

STUDENTS from Dunham Hall - oneof the Wve halls within Lymm HighSchool - have presented a catalogueof all graves in the graveyard at StPeter's Church, Oughtrington to thevicar, the Rev Michael Burgess.

It has been completed over aperiod of some two years and willhelp people Wnd the graves ofrelatives - including those dating frompast centuries.

St Peter's is the link church forDunham Hall and Father Michael isDunham Hall's local member ofclergy.

Some two years he approved NeilHodgson, head of Dunham Hall, andasked if students would be interest inhelping him identify and cataloguethe graves in the graveyard.

Many are very old, someinscriptions are very difWcult to readand the location of some is alsouncertain.

This makes it difWcult for peoplelooking for the graves of relatives -particularly old ones they might beseeking in researching family trees,etc.

Students worked with MaureenStebbings, a member of staff withinDunham Hall, to clearly identify thegraves.

They then presented a catalogue toFather Michael, including print-outs oflocations together with names anddates of deceased.

They also gave him a spreadsheetversion so he can easily keep it up-to-date from now on.

Judges had a difWcultdecision to choose winnersas standards were veryhigh. They chose Gollum forthe Gold First Prize, whichwas made by the Mundyfamily of HighWeld Road.

A competitionspokesperson said: "Thisfantastic interpretation of thegood, bad and uglycharacter Gollum from Lordof the Rings is overlookedby the all seeing-eye as heis about to eat his supper!"

The scarecrow is madefrom papier-mâché on awire frame, then paintedand varnished. It was very popularwith festival visitors.

The Silver Second Prize went toHiccup Horrendous Haddock IIImade by the Leigh Family of ManorRoad.

The spokesperson added: "A hugeamount of enthusiasm has gone intothe superb creation of these

characters from the How to Train YourDragon series of books by CressidaCowell.

"The Viking Hiccup and his dragonToothless are the heroes, the seadragon in the hedge is Green Deaththe baddie and Hiccup's archenemyis Alvin the Treacherous, who is prettyugly as he has lost several parts of his

anatomy in the adventures -so far he has lost a hand, aleg, all his hair, an eye andhis nose! In fact, anotherbaddie - non-Wction this time- made sure that Alvin losthis whole head on the nightof the Food Fest!"

During the festival therewas also a Scarecrow TrailQuiz where people had toguess the scarecrow titles.Prize Winners were ChloëEllerton-Raines andMatthew George.

Lymm’s tennis triumphLYMM Tennis Club has had an outstanding season in the Warrington TennisLeague.

The women's 1st team has won the division one title - and won praise fromclub captain Jannette Harris.

She said: "As I have always said, I view us as one big squad - so without theextra players who played when needed it wouldn't have been possible!

"A big thankyou to Jo Murphy who has been an awesome captain."Meanwhile the Lymm Men's team also won the Warrington League title and,

in addition, division two of the North East Cheshire League, gaining promotionto division one.

Mr Hodgson said: "It is a greatexample of our youngsterscontributing positively to the localcommunity. They gave up their owntime at lunch-times and Mrs Stebbingsworked hard in her own time to co-ordinate the project.

"Dunham Hall is very proud to havebeen able to help the local church inthis way."

A LYMM girl is back home afterrepresenting England in aninternational handball tournament inSweden.

EARLY BOOKINGS FOR 2011


The visit by both long-term andrecent new members was hailed awonderful success on both sides ofthe Channel. Friendships spanningdecades were reinforced and newlinks were forged between youngfamilies new to the society.

The visit combined fantasticweather, outstanding hospitality, awell organised itinerary in the LoireValley involving vineyards, winecellars, restaurants, chateaux and

NEARLY 60 ‘Twin Towners’ returned 'en masse' from the bi-annual visit to Meung-sur-Loire, the small village near Orleansthat Lymm has been twinned with for over 40 years.

Twin Town debutants enjoy exchange visitparks; and culminated with an ofWcialreception lunch and entertainment.

Membership of the society is on theincrease following various initiativesto promote its beneWts to young andmature members alike. Two newfamilies who recently joined thesociety recounted fantasticexperiences during their Meung visitthis year.

Twin Town 'debutants', theUnsworth family, were very excited

but apprehensive about joining theexchange visit to Meung with twoyoung children (aged 2 and 5).However, it exceeded all theirexpectations. Commenting on theirexperience they said: "Meung wastruly a lovely place - not onlypicturesque but the people we metthere were warm and friendly too.We were so well received by Frenchand Lymm Twin Town Societymembers alike and wereoverwhelmed by how much effortwas put into the welcome, ofWcial visitand formal lunch; and as for our hostfamily....they were just fantastic.

"We couldn't recommend enough

to any potential new young familymembers what a fabulous trip it wasand would urge them to join thesociety. Our 5 year old loved theexperience and I'm sure it hasprovided her with a fantastic learningand cultural experience."

The Lynas family, who also madetheir debut visit to Meung this year,went so far as to say that joining theLymm-Meung Twin Town Society hadbeen one of the best decisions theyhave made in years, 'reigniting theirpassion for France and helping themmake many new friends both in theLymm area and in Meung-sur-Loire'.

The Society looks forward towelcoming its French counterparts toLymm next June and plans are alreadyunderway to make the 3-day returnleg an impressive and fun event.

Meanwhile it was yet anothersuccessful annual summer BBQ forLymm's Twin Town Society.

The sun shone down on MossBrow Farm in Warburton owned bymembers Richard and Karen Cleggas an astounding 198 people werewelcomed into superb grounds toenjoy a plentiful BBQ spread, anafternoon full of fun for the kids andrelaxation for parents as they lookedupon a Weld of kids games, obstacleraces and a rather competitive Dad's'Tir à la Corde' (Tug of War).

Since their Noel Arrive Christmasevent, the society has been workinghard to extend the proWle of itsmembership by organising eventsappealing to young families including

The table at the official receptionfor the Lymm party.


Twin Town debutants enjoy exchange visita Treasure Hunt, a French evening ata local French restaurant and thesummer BBQ.

Kirsty James, membershipcoordinator, who has been involvedwith the society since being a young

child herself and who nowparticipates with her own youngfamily, has been leading the recentdrive for new membership byorganising several new eventsappealing to families with young

children. She said: "The turnout andsupport exceeded all expectations.The weather was glorious, childrenwere happy, and there's no doubtthat we have raised awareness aboutthis long-standing society and givenourselves a great chance atwelcoming new young membersinterested in French language andculture."

With further social events plannedthis year to include two further Frenchevenings (Sept and Nov), aBeaujolais Nouveau evening (18Nov) and Noel Arrive (19 Dec), thesociety seems set to be undergoing averitable renaissance.

PUTTING other jobs onhold and working latenights ensured a Lymmbusinessman gave a"fantastic facelift" to anoutdoor activity area foryoung children.

Because of hisconnections with the area,landscape gardenerJames Slavin worked forfree on the project for pre-school children atOughtrington CommunityCentre.

His connections alsoenabled him to obtainmaterials and labourdonated by a number ofother traders.

James, of J C SlavinLandscape and GardenMaintenance, managedto get the work completedwithin the pre-schoolgroup's budget of£7,000.

Work carried outincluded removing scrubs,clearing the site, fencingand providing raisedplanters. Other workincluded building anarchway for Xowers togrow on and paintingfences.

He said: "The work tookabout a month and hasgiven a fantastic facelift."

Music Matters atStatham Primary

UNUSUAL musical instruments including aSwiss Alpine Horn, African Kudu Horns and an"exploding Tuba" were demonstrated to pupilsat Statham Primary School, Lymm.

Musical duo Travelling by Tuba visited theschool for a morning concert and workshopsthroughout the day.

The duo, sponsored by Manchester Airport,visited Lymm as part of their 80,000 miles-a-year roadshow which visits schools and othergroups.

The project, called Music Matters, aims toencourage children to appreciate music andconsider learning a musical instrument.

Chris Cranham and Stewart Death havebeen working together for 20 years. Each yearthey visit more than 200 schools, and tourvenues throughout the UK and abroad.

Fantastic facelift for play area


Two-and-a-half years ago, thefuture of The Golden Fleece, in thevillage centre, was in the balance.

Ian Creighton, from the Punch PubCompany said: "I was faced with adecision about the pub's future. It wasat its lowest ebb, was beset withproblems and was on the verge ofclosure.

"As a company, we did not wantto let this happen and I had heardabout a landlady from the past whomight, just might, be persuaded tocome back.

"On a cold and wet April morning

LYMM residents are being encouraged to re-use bags rather than take plastichand-out bags from supermarkets and then throw them away.

The initiative comes from green group Low Carbon Lymm (LCL) who have beenhanding out linen bags, donated by Warrington Borough Council's "Love FoodHate Waste" campaign.

Students from the art department at Lymm High School have printed the LCLlogo and website address on 250 of the bags.

Some 13 billion plastic bags are dumped in landWll sites every year nationally.They are harmful to the environment and to wildlife.

LCL's ultimate aim is to make Lymm a plastic bag free zone.Our picture shows LCL vice chairman Steve Walsh and member Su Williams

with village butcher Malcolm Hopkinson who helped distribute the bags.

the deal was struck and DianeJennings agreed to return."

Since then, Diane has transformedthe Fleece into a vibrant, successfulpub which is now Wrmly back in theheart of the community.

Diane and her team's success hasbeen such that the company whiskedher away for a champagne weekendin Paris and she has won a luxuryholiday for the biggest salesturnaround in the company.

Ian added: "The turnaround at theGolden Fleece is testimony to thedetermination and hard work of

Diane and her team in putting oldfashioned values of great service,great products and great value backinto the hard of the community andwe are all very proud of what theyhave achieved."

The pub is also putting things backinto the community. The car park isavailable to shoppers, free of charge,before opening time and the pubmakes a monthly donation to StRocco's Hospice - its local charity ofchoice.

It has created a new function room,The Narrowboat, ideal for familyfunctions and available for hire forspecial events.

Great value food is on offer seven

days a week and there is live sportfrom Sky and ESPN, including 3Dscreens, for the new Premier Leagueseason.

When the sun shines, there is thecanal-side beer garden where eventhe family dog is welcome!

Diane is not the only member of theJennings family who has been helpingput Lymm on the map. Her son, Mark,toured South Africa with the EnglandUnder-18 rugby squad, playingagainst Namibia, France and SouthAfrica and scoring the Wrst try in agame at the Nelson MandelaStadium in Port Elizabeth.

Mark said: It was an amazing tripand the team spirit was so good."

PRE-school children at Lymm are learning about plants and howthey grow, thanks to parents who were able to acquire gardeningtools by collecting supermarket vouchers.Children, parents and staff at St Mary's Pre-School collected the

vouchers which provided a mini-green house, trowels, a plantingtray and watering cans. Since then staff and children have beenbusy sowing seeds and tending the vegetables, herbs and Fowersthey planted.Among the things they planted were lettuce which they later tried

as part of their daily snack.Lynn Smith, who co-ordinates the gardening activity said: "It is

a delight to see the excitement on the children's faces as they takeyour hand and lead you to the garden so show you 'how big' theplants have grown."We are keeping a scrap book so we can see the changes we

have made in the garden and the growth of the seeds over time".Some of the children are so keen they have now learnt how to

'dead head' the pansies as well as plant and water the seeds.

The pub the village almost forgot!IT was the village pub that Lymm forgot – until popularlandlady Diane Jennings decided otherwise.

As well as a Wrst rate coaching team they will have access to astrength and conditioning specialist as well as the club's physiotherapists. Wealso plan to involve our U16 age group in the Academy as the seasonprogresses to prepare them for their move to Colts rugby next season."

First team player and coach Lee Pickles, will lead a team of assistant andspecialist coaches drawn from fellow members of the 1st team playing andcoaching staff assembled to provide a broad range of high quality coaching.

He said: "I am delighted to take on the role of head coach of the new ColtsAcademy. The talent of our junior players is illustrated by their success in recentyears. I and my team are excited by the prospect of helping them develop bothindividually and as teams to maximise their success and enjoyment from theirrugby as they move towards the senior game."

Both junior and senior Colts sides will play in the "A" divisions of the RagingBull North West Colts Leagues next season.

Academy numbers are healthy but as Mark points out: "All teams lose playersover the close season so we are always on the look out for new recruits. Weare also seeking sponsors for the Academy and its teams which play throughoutthe North West."

I FIND it curious that, yet again, you have found the need to report on thebuilding of my garage, especially when there are many more controversialdevelopments within the village which must be of more interest to your readersthan a garage.

So, to put the record straight; My development is for a double garage, withspace for a garden store at the back and a split level inside so that I can workaway from the property in a quiet area when my kids get home from school. Theplans that have now been approved are for a development which is smaller thanone for which there was already planning permission granted and the garagewill be the same size as the garage opposite in Old Smithy Lane.

Eleven neighbours did not make objections, there were 11 objections, fromjust two neighbours, and when the independent planning inspector made hisruling on the appeal, none of these were upheld.

Whilst your reporting has incensed me enough to reply, I would also like totake the opportunity to thank everyone who visited my garden as part of LymmFestival Open Gardens in support of St Rocco's Hospice and conWrm that wemanaged to raise an additional £300 on the day for my daughter's specialneeds school.

Editor's note: Having reported the original decision of the planning committeeto refuse permission for this development, we felt it only right to report thesuccessful appeal. Lymm Life regularly reports planning decisions in the village.
