Please
Keep an Eye Out!
THIS would
have been funny if it wasn't true. Sadly Merseyside Police are
appealing for information about an item that was stolen during a
burglary that took place on Sunday, 14 October 2007 in Southport,
Merseyside. This crime made national and it even international news,
but as of yet the unique ornament, that was stolen, has yet to have
been handed in or recovered. The unique ornament, glass eye, was
taken during the burglary.
The glass eye is described as being
approximately 4 inches in diameter and a circular shape. It is made
of Blue glass with white and pale blue colours with a black iris
centre. This item has a lot of sentimental value and the owner would
like it returned.
"We would like
to let the person or persons who committed the crime that it is not
a joking matter." A spokesman for Merseyside Police told us.
If you have any information regarding
the stolen item please contact Merseyside Police on 0151 777 3455 or
call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Heads have say on future of schools
HEADTEACHERS
and governors from every school in Liverpool are coming together to
discuss the future of education in the city.
A special consultation event at St George’s Hall on Monday 29
October 2007 is giving school bosses the chance to find out about
the plans for the massive Building Schools for the Future (BSF)
programme.
Liverpool City Council is currently undertaking a city-wide review
of secondary school provision, looking at the key issues facing
education in Liverpool in the coming years. The St George’s Hall
event signals the start of the council’s consultation with schools
and residents on the review – which will drive forward a planned
£400m investment in education.
Running alongside the consultation with schools is the launch of a
city-wide consultation with residents. The council has now sent an
information booklet to every parent in the city, outlining the
proposals for all Liverpool secondary schools. The booklet urges
residents to share their views on the plans and provides full
details on how they can do so.
Executive Member for children’s services, Councillor Paul Clein,
said:- “The Building Schools for the Future programme is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Liverpool. We are committed to
consulting fully with local people and making sure we get it right.
We want to make sure our schools, communities and all those effected
by the scheme are involved in the decisions at every step of the
way.
It’s also vitally important that our consultations are targeted at
primary school-aged children, because these plans are about
investing in the future of education in Liverpool and creating
state-of-the-art, 21st century education facilities which will
benefit the secondary school children of tomorrow.”
Headteachers and governors at the St George’s Hall event will have
the opportunity to see exhibitions of five of the proposed school
schemes under BSF and ask questions of the project managers.
They will also listen to presentations about the programme and its
impact on schools from the executive member for children’s services,
Councillor Paul Clein, executive director, Stuart Smith, Director of
Archdiocese Schools, Frank Cogley and Director of Diocesan
Education, Jon Richardson.
The £400 million Building Schools for the Future programme - the
biggest schools rebuilding scheme ever seen in Liverpool – will
transform secondary schools throughout the city and aims to boost
standards and opportunities for young people across the board by
2013.
In order to secure the funding from the government, the council has
to submit a detailed business case by May 2008, including a full
review of existing secondary school provision in the city.
The heads and governors consultation event takes place at St
George’s Hall on Monday 29 October, from 6pm to 8.30pm. Consultation
with headteachers, schools staff, residents, governors, parents,
pupils, trade unions and the Liverpool Archdiocese and Diocese will
continue until 10 December 2007 |
