Tell One Vision to Cut The Grass!
One Vision Housing has scrapped the gardening service which was provided free of charge to older and disabled residents with no family or friends to help. Disgusting!

Just to add. The heat pump repairs are rarely on our own installations and are often on older models. Here is one of ours with a live monitoring package and you can see the house is 22c.
As long as youβre within 30 mins of Southport we will fix your heating, any make or model of boiler or heat pump.
Mad busy but happy doing what I do best. Our engineers are installing a heat pump in Southport and Iβve been getting everyoneβs heating going for the winter.
Finished last heat pump repair at 9pm tonight. On Monday I fixed a heat pump 5 or 6 engineers tried to before me and I sorted it in an hour.
Last week Sefton Council voted against asking One Vision Housing to reinstate the gardening service at these bungalows for elderly and disabled residents.
But that didnβt stop me getting them some help as a temporary solution. Thanks to Parrydise Gardens, Jillian is now delighted with her garden.
Just a couple of minor improvements to report:
A resident asked for the bin to be replaced outside Fleetwood Rd park just a few weeks ago. Cambridge Ward councillors have covered this through ward funds.
I reported a large pothole on Radnor Dive.
Thanks to Sefton Council staff for sorting.
Getting our latest Cambridge Ward Focus leaflet through the doors which has a link to the NHS Shaping Care Together consultation. Letβs bring Childrenβs A&E back to #Southport!

Weβre seeing fewer jobs, more shops, bars and restaurants closing, and the cost of living continues to rise.
Great to see Merseyside Police at CEF Southportβs trade day this week showing how forensic marking can help tackle tool theft.
Thank you to CEF and to Merseyside Police for their efforts on this important issue.
Next week I am bringing the debate to Council.

I am relieved that Southport pier appears to be okay after a small fire last night. Thank you to Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service for a fast reaction to save it.
Hopefully the next news we hear on the Pier will be the funding confirmed and a date to start the long-term repair.
As August comes to a close, hereβs a quick round-up of another busy month working hard for Cambridge Ward residents.

It was an honour to cut the ribbon alongside Abi for the reopening of Sandpipers. It was such an emotional and happy day. You have to meet these wonderful people to see how much it means. Thank you to everyone who canpaigned for respite care in Southport and around the country β₯οΈ

Nothing good will come of this Alaska meeting, itβs all for show.
I agree with these words. I donβt think itβs wise for the police to announce the ethnicity of the suspect every time there is a high profile case. A dangerous step for society to take.

I am not impressed by the recent rhetoric from certain politicians on immigration and the divisive politics that it brings.
We must start making the positive case for immigration and never give up on those in need.
I am deeply concerned and saddened to hear of the killing of Anas Al-Sharif by the IDF. Israel need to produce evidence fast that he was a member of Hamas because journalists are not legitimate targets. Neither are the civilians, especially the children being starved and killed.

A very good article on cycle lanes.
Iβve been raising the issue of cycle lane overgrowth and sand build up within the Council.
It is especially worth reading Harry Kesslerβs words who is a hugely inspirational person and has been a pleasure to meet and work with on this issue.
I know. I meant illegal immigrants, I didnβt say illegal asylum seekers. I have campaigned for asylum seekers and refugees rights including ending indefinite detention for years. Sorry if it wasnβt clear enough!

Iβm very pleased to see Preston Rd finally resurfaced after I raised it last year and was told that it was not on the list to be done, but it would be re-assessed.
Iβve today spoken with residents on the road and theyβre happy, so Iβm happy. π
The Governmentβs rhetoric on sending people back who arrive in small boats is ignoring the fact there are no safe legal routes to claim asylum.
Sending illegals back is only half the job. We need humanitarian visas so genuine asylum seekers donβt need to make dangerous journeyβs.
Thereβs footage showing Russians erasing the right bank of the Kherson region from temporarily occupied Nova Kakhovka.
There are no military targets. Russians are shelling peopleβs homes for the sake of destruction and death. Itβs genocide!
Lovely walk with my dog on Southport Beach this evening. β₯οΈ

How many more times is this going to happen?
