The Learning Rooms need your urgent help!
FORMBY Bookshop is to help The Learning
Rooms
C.I.C. following a break in at a Southport
day care centre for disabled people. "We arrived at the canter on Sunday, 12
April 2015, only to find out that thieves had broken in through the front,
causing serious damage. Police say it must have happened between 3.30pm on
Saturday, 11 April 2015, and 10.10am the next day. It has been devastating for
all our staff and our clients, who use the centre, on Windsor Road, Southport.
Sadly our fundraising money was stolen along with the equipment we had worked
hard to obtain. Since then we have managed to replace all of the electrical
items, such as Xbox, the 42in LG television and a cash register etc. We would
like to thank all who have helped so far, but we have a long way to go, as we
are still counting the cost after this devastating burglary. We are currently
working hard to raise money to replace our fundraising money that got stolen
during the break in. That cash was to help fund the running of the centre and
without it, we are struggling. We are determined to help ourselves and not to
let this affect the care we provide to the disabled people who use the day care
centre, but we still need your readers help! We are to hold a plant sale, after
making hanging baskets and other items, at The Learning Rooms, outside the local
bookshop in Formby Village. We hope that the selling of them, to the public,
will go along way to replacing the operating cash we have lost. Please come to
our plant sale, at Formby Bookshop, on Tuesday, 2 June, Wednesday, 3 June and
Thursday, 4 June 2015, from 11pm to 4:30pm (weather permitting!). Also please do
help us publicise the sale by telling others! Also if you have any donations
your can give us, please do!" Ruth Wareing, a joint partner at the Learning
Rooms, told us. Sefton Neighbourhood Inspector Graham Fisher has told the press
at the time:- "The centre provides a vital and much valued service to the
community. This was a targeted burglary and we are determined to get them back
to their rightful owner. I would encourage anyone who can help the Police
investigation to call Merseyside Police on:- 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously,
on:- 0800 555 111." They are still appealing for anyone who witnessed
the burglary, saw anything suspicious in the area that night, or has been
offered any of the stolen items to contact them. If you can help the Learning
Rooms, but cant attend the plant sale, please call them on:- 01704 620165 or
send an
email with your contact information on.
Last week we asked if you
what this was on Lord Street, did you find out?
SOUTHPORT'S
Lord Street had a very strange machine on it got many readers asking us what
was it. Well sadly it was not a Transformer or anything as exciting as
that. It was in fact
Rei Lux UK Ltd's testing the
street lighting columns, using patented non destructive
testing (NDT) structural analysing system. The 3D portable measuring
machine
enables the firm to identify issues that are caused by insufficient back filling around
the lighting or CCTV column, material failure, due to corrosion or crack formation,
incorrectly fitted or corroded bracket arms and swage joint or multi-step
joint failure. The results are then passed on to Sefton MBC so they
can keep Lord Street safe and light up at nights... Well you did ask!
