TARPORLEY Parish Council want people’s views on whether to continue paying for Police Community Support Offi cer.An agreement with Cheshire Constabulary
ends on the 31st March 2010. The Parish Council needs to decide whether to renew the contract for the next three years. There will probably be an increase in the cost to pay for the services of the PCSO from £11,000 to in excess of £12,000. Do you, the residents of Tarporley consider
that over the past three years the PCSO has improved the safety and quality of life in the parish? Should the Parish Council enter into another three-year contact with the police for the services of the PCSO?The Parish Council would like to know your
views on this important issue. Contact the Clerk council, John MacDonald on 733496 or email [email protected]

TARPORLEY’S Liz Haslam is making a big difference to children’s lives up and down the country.Liz is the brains behind
Sensabout, a series of books and DVDs to help children with learning difficulties, autism, and memory loss.Originally sold to special
schools, Sensabout is now used in more than 140 schools, from the Shetland Islands to Cornwall. Liz also believes that the
multi-sensory approach would also be beneficial for adults with memory loss. With her sixth book will be out this half term, it is an exciting time for Liz and her partners.Each Sensabout book
and DVD pack contains up to eight original songs and 80 photographs. They are used alongside the
books to build a multi-sensory experience which is suitable for any age. Songs, rhythms, actions and props all come together to engage the seven senses in an accessible and fun way.Says Liz: “Our approach
is deliberately low tech to enable anyone to put together an enriching experience without a lot of expensive high-tech equipment. We have sold over 450 copies and there are even copies in Los Angeles and Toronto and we are exploring ways of working in the EU. We feel we could provide a useful tool for care homes and hope to expand further into this area this coming year.”Liz has lived in Tarporley
for over 20 years and taught special needs pupils until ill health intervened. She works with Sally Slater, from Chester, who is a well
respected education trainer and consultant. “It was over lunch in The
Swan about five years ago, the idea was floated of creating a learning approach based on our experience Sensabout was born,” says LizTarporley High School has
indirectly played a significant part in the development of Sensabout through its former pupils: George Eaton publishes the packs; Anthony Hunter records the music and creates the music CD; Jonny Haslam helps him put it together; Vicky Jackson designed (and manages) our website. The Karting Club even made it onto ‘Squares at the Weekend’!For more information visit
