Christmas Tree and Lights 2020

Thu, 05 Nov 2020 15:52:41 GMT

Update on Christmas Tree and Lights for 2020

Unfortunately we will be unable to hold our usual Christmas lights switch on event this year. As you may be aware the Christmas tree has recently been removed, we are in contact with Sefton MBC about this and are hopeful that a new tree will be planted in time to be decorated and lit for the Christmas period. Our understanding is that the new tree may be significantly smaller which should help the tree to establish itself and flourish over time which the larger tree has sadly not managed to do.

Response to Freedom of Information Request Relating to the Alt Centre

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 09:59:54 GMT

Response to Freedom of Information Request Relating to the Alt Centre

The Parish Council has received an extensive Freedom of Information request from a resident with regards to the Alt Centre and has a legal duty to respond to that request. The request has been forwarded to the Legal Services Department of Sefton Council to prepare a response on our behalf. The cost of dealing with this request will have a significant impact upon the limited resources available to the Parish Council and will affect future plans and activities in our village and community.

The Parish Council would like to point out to all residents that every activity and action it takes is open to scrutiny, debate and discussion at the Parish Council Meetings which are open to the public. All decisions and actions, financial or otherwise are recorded in the minutes and published on the Parish Council Website and displayed in the Parish Council Noticeboard, thus ensuring openness, transparency and accountability. The only exceptions to this are matters of a confidential and sensitive nature which are dealt with in the closed session of the agenda, the results of those discussions are however publicly recorded in the minutes and published on the website and the noticeboard.

The Parish Council would like to reiterate once again for clarity, that they have repeatedly reassured residents that the Alt Centre is not closing down and the activities that take place there, including the community café, community library, cycle workshops, beach cleaning activities, Astronomical Society Meetings and the availability of the facilities to residents and other interested community groups are only suspended whilst the building is temporarily closed due to the pandemic. It will reopen to the public as a community resource and all activities resume, once it is safe to do so.

The request received under the Freedom of Information Act along with our response and documents disclosed can be accessed here .

Update Regarding the Alt Centre

Thu, 16 Jul 2020 09:45:00 GMT

Update Regarding the Alt Centre

The Parish Council would like to reassure all residents that the Alt Centre is not closing down. It is closed at the moment due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. The safety of all users of the Alt Centre is paramount to the Parish Council and risk assessments and government guidelines are currently being reviewed to ensure that the Alt Centre can re-open in due course and continue to be a valuable asset to our community.

For further information and updates please visit the Parish Council Website.

PUBLIC ENTRY TO ALTCAR TRAINING CAMP – FRIDAY 24 JANUARY 0800-0930 HOURS

Wed, 22 Jan 2020 15:03:17 GMT

PUBLIC ENTRY TO ALTCAR TRAINING CAMP – FRIDAY 24 JANUARY 0800-0930 HOURS

Please note the following on behalf of the Commandant Altcar Training Camp – Lt Col Gordon Black:

You may have heard helicopters in the Hightown area this week? The organisers of the military exercise – along with Commandant at Altcar Training Camp - have very kindly offered the opportunity for the public to come onto site and view 2 types of helicopter.

To that end, the camp will be open from 08.00 – 9.30 am on Friday 24 January for the public to view the helicopters on the ground. Aircrew will be on standby to answer any questions individuals may have. It is appreciated that this is during school time but being operational helicopters this is the only time within their programme.

There are a number of conditions that those wishing to visit the site must comply with:

• Individuals must have some form of ID – usually a driving licence or passport. There is no individual ID requirements for juveniles who are accompanied by adults. All those under 18 years of age, must be accompanied by an adult.

• Access to the site is through the main camp entrance on foot only. No vehicle traffic will be permitted. The walk from the entrance to the field is approximately 400 meters. Parking outside the main entrance is not permitted. Hightown residents will be familiar with the area. Those outside the village are made aware that the train station is a short distance from the camp. Individuals should not bring daysacks/bags etc. as this could delay entry as they would be searched as a condition of entry

• Photography will only be allowed with aircrew permission.

• Please note that there is vehicular and troop activity around the site – very busy at times and anyone visiting the site must give way to vehicles and troops transiting around the site

Lastly, these helicopters could be re-tasked at any time and may have to re-deploy at a moment’s notice. Members of the public must appreciate this potential action. If we are informed that they are unable to be present at Altcar on Friday we will endeavour to inform the public by posting a note on the NW RFCA Facebook page.
