WALKING FOR HEALTH Health walk scheme renews national accolade

Congratulations to the Walkin’ Wyre health walk scheme, which has renewed its accreditation through Walking for Health, a joint initiative between Natural England and the Department of Health.

The Walkin’ Wyre scheme which originally started in 2004 and first gained accreditation in February 2008, has again demon-strated that it meets the required criteria in its annual review. This includes offering led walks for beginners, meeting the Walking for Health safety and insurance standards for all walks and collecting basic monitoring information. As an accredited scheme, Walkin’ Wyre will benefit from being nationally evaluated, as well as being formally recognised by health professionals, prospective partners and funders.

With support from Wyre Borough Council, Walkin’ Wyre is able to operate a referral system in partnership with Fylde Coast YMCA and NHS North Lancashire, where GPs and health practitioners can refer a person on to the scheme in order to improve their physical activity and improve health through walking.

Councillor Lynne Bowen, Cabinet member with responsibility for Walkin’ Wyre at Wyre Borough Council, says: “We are very pleased to qualify for this accreditation for the fourth year in a row and it is great reward for the success of

the scheme over the years. We are always looking to move forwards and through the much appreciated hard work and dedication of a huge number of volunteers we are sure that the forthcoming year will be our most successful yet with plans to support more walks than ever before.”

William Bird, Strategic Health Advisor for Natural England says: “The accreditation scheme has been essential in ensuring high standards across the Walking for Health network and providing frontline health professionals with added confidence when referring their patients on.”

Walkin’ Wyre welcomes new walkers throughout the year. Health walks take place throughout the week starting from various locations. If you’d like to walk with Walkin’ Wyre or train as a Walking for Health Volunteer Walk Leader please contact the Scheme Co-ordinator, Simon Swindells, by email at [email protected] or by telephone on 01253 863100.

Funding to continue for Wyre PCSOs

Wyre Borough Council has pledged to continue its funding for Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). Financial support for this valuable community re-source has been provided by the council for the past five years, with the current agreement coming to an end in March. This will now be extended for the foreseeable future (subject to Cabinet approval) following feedback from the public and a scrutiny exercise which reviewed the service provided by the PCSOs in Wyre. Discussions will take place between the council and Lancashire Constabulary to determine exact require-ments and how things can be taken forward. Councillor Roger Berry, Cabinet member with respon-sibility for community safety, said: "Recent consultation has shown there is a great deal of support for PCSOs in Wyre. People have told us that a uniformed pres-ence makes them feel more reassured and safer in their neighbourhood, an important factor in reducing fear of crime.

"We have also seen plenty of evidence of the excellent work the officers have done on the ground to reduce low level crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour. "Despite cuts in public spending, the council feels Wyre cannot afford to lose such a valuable resource and has pledged the funding to keep as many PCSOs as possible on our streets for the foreseeable future."


CHOOSE ABELGLASS AS YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

Make saving money your priority for 2011 by choosing Abelglass!

“Recession, recession, recession” - that’s all we hear nowadays, and as the economy continues to bite, more than half of us* are planning to fix our finances as our number one resolution for the new year.

For many thousands of us, new year’s resolutions are like the X-Factor; something you swear you won’t touch but every year end up temporarily obsessed with.

..and 2011 is no different!

However, with the continuing faltering economy as your perfect excuse, saving money by becoming more energy efficient is the one resolution you will be motivated to stick to.

If the recent cold snap isn’t enough to spur you on, maybe the new year will be. For example, replacing all single-glazed windows with energy efficient glazing could reduce your heat loss by up to 35% and save you around £135 per year on your energy bills, according to the Energy Saving Trust. Even small adjustments to existing PVCu windows and doors such as repairs to hinges can make savings on your heating bills. *GoCompare

Go ahead sought for Wyre dog control orders Wyre's open spaces are set to become more enjoyable for all, with more action against irresponsible dog owners. Following widespread consultation with the public, a series of dog control orders are being recommended to Wyre Borough Council's ruling Cabinet on Monday (31 January) making it clear where dogs can be walked freely, where they should be on a lead and how many can be walked at once. Because the orders are easier to understand and enforce than the existing raft of bye-laws, it will be harder for irrespon-sible dog owners to spoil other people's enjoyment. This is particularly the case in such areas as children's play-grounds and cemeteries where dogs will be excluded alto-gether. Under the orders, up to five restrictions could apply on each piece of public land. Fixed penalty notices can be issued by council officials and PCSOs for: - failing to remove dog faeces - not keeping dog on a lead - not putting a dog on a lead when requested to do so by an authorised officer - permitting a dog to enter land from which dogs are excluded - taking more than four dogs on to the land

People with registered guide dogs or trained assistance dogs will be exempt. Councillor Paul Moon, Cabinet member with responsibility for the control of dogs, said: "The current system of bye-laws is very confusing because they were brought in at different times under various government acts, some of which have now been repealed. "Single dog control orders are much easier to understand. "This will not be a blanket ban on dogs, as some people have been suggesting. We are looking to bring in restrictions only where specific problems have occurred in the past. Following feedback from dog walkers, rules have actually been relaxed in some areas. "Nor should the orders been seen as discriminating against dog owners. Our public spaces are there for everyone to enjoy and we simply want to make it easier to punish the irresponsi-ble few who spoil our parks, beaches and playgrounds with their thoughtless behaviour." A review of all the orders every six to 12 months is also being proposed so that they can be amended in necessary follow-ing feedback from the public. If the go ahead for the scheme is given, signs will need to be installed at each site before the orders can be effective and this will take place as soon as possible. Until such time all existing bye-laws are still in place.
