A rapid response service is helping over 160 older people return home from hospital when they are medically fit or support them at home during a temporary crisis every month. The Home First Response Service is just one of the ways the County Council is supporting people to be independent, according to a report about ‘ageing well’, which was presented to Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee yesterday.

The ‘ageing well’ report details a range of other short-term services that can be offered to people to help them return to independence after a period of ill health which may include a stay in hospital: Short Term Assessment and Reablement Service (START): a service that helps people achieve their goals and regain the ability to do daily tasks. Support may last for a few days or a few weeks depending on the person’s needs.

Connect: a short-term service that helps people affected by loneliness or bereavement to find information about local services, activities and opportunities.

Staff can work with people around money issues, housing problems, health management and other things depending on their needs. Assistive technology: monitors and sensors in the home can alert to risks such as changes in temperature or a fall.

They can also remind people to take their medication or raise an alert if someone is wandering around at night. Meals at home: everyone who has a hot meal delivery receives a safe and well check. The service has a range of nutritious hot or frozen meals that are provided to over 300 customers a day. Councillor Tony Harper, Chair of Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee, said: “A study shows that just 10 days in bed can reduce hip and leg muscle strength by 14% and aerobic capacity by 12% – the equivalent of 10 years of life.

So, it is vital that we do everything we can to support people to leave hospital as soon as they are medically fit. “We are also having different conversations with people now. We are working with people at an early stage and focusing on their strengths and abilities, rather than rushing in and carrying out an assessment which may result in them becoming reliant on our support. This early intervention and the short-term prevention services we offer are key to helping people retain their independence for as long as possible.” Find out more about services and support at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/adultsocialcare or by phoning 0300 500 80 80.

A community-led project which aims to create the most cycling and walking-friendly area in Greater Manchester has picked up a prestigious award at a national summit. The Levenshulme Bee Network project, supported by Manchester City Council, scooped the ‘Community Project of the Year’ award at the 2019 Healthy Streets Summit, held in Glasgow.

An initial capital budget commitment has been put forward for approval to fund the engagement, design and trials process for the scheme, using money allocated from the Greater Manchester Mayor’s Challenge Fund.
The Healthy Streets award was collected on behalf of Levenshulme Bee Network by Peter O’Hare and Pauline Johnston, who said: “We’re delighted the community has been acknowledged for pioneering the approach to developing people-friendly streets working together with Manchester City Council.

“We’re looking forward to getting even more people involved in the design and delivery of our active neighbourhood projects over the next year and building on local people’s enthusiasm.”

Residents from the Levenshulme Bee Network group have led the proposals for this scheme, with the support of the council and Sustrans. They intend to create an active ‘filtered’ neighbourhood in Levenshulme, reducing traffic in the area through changes such as modal filters, “school streets” that are closed to traffic when children are arriving at and leaving school, improving crossings and adding green spaces.

This approach helps to reduce the amount of through-traffic experienced and encourages residents to use other forms of sustainable transport – particularly walking and cycling. The project is expected to include a series of junction upgrades, parallel crossings, traffic filters and improvements to the look and feel of local streets – connecting community centres, GP surgeries and schools to create a better, safer environment for trips on foot or by bike. 9,000 households are to receive leaflets inviting them to take part in an online engagement exercise, which will allow them to highlight issues in their local area and suggest improvements.

This will be supported by robust data collection on air quality, traffic counts and speed monitoring, to help assess where changes should be made. After the initial design has been produced with input from the community, a public consultation process will be launched to ensure that all residents can have their say on the plans. A budget of £2.5m for the project has been identified and is being chiefly provided through the GM Mayor’s Challenge Fund, plus a £100,000 contribution from Manchester City Council.

Executive Member for the Environment, Planning and Transport, Councillor Angeliki Stogia, said: “We are delighted to support Levenshulme residents with the development of this important scheme, which will help to address concerns about air quality and safety for pedestrians and cyclists, while creating a more pleasant local environment for the whole community. “Our long-term plan is to promote a number of these schemes across Manchester, to get more people walking and cycling. This will help reduce reliance on car travel for short trips, which will help us meet the city’s ambitious goal of becoming zero-carbon by 2038 at the latest.

“This is an inspiring example of a resident led, ground-up approach where local people are putting forward their ideas on how to tackle issues on their doorstep. By doing so, they are leading the way in terms of taking action to reduce emissions and tackle climate change.” Greater Manchester Commissioner for Cycling and Walking, Chris Boardman said:

“This project is an excellent example of what happens when residents lead the way and are given the opportunity to design their neighbour hood in a way that best serves their needs. With the support of the council, this project will enable local people to move around more easily and safely without cars, and that benefits everybody.” The Bee Network is a proposal for the UK’s largest fully joined up cycling and walking network in Greater Manchester, covering 1,800 miles.

The seasons have quickly changed from Summer to Autumnal temperatures, so it’s time to think about getting the annual flu vaccination.
Nottinghamshire County Council’s Chairman of Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee, Councillor Tony Harper, along with public health officials, is reminding residents in Nottinghamshire to get their flu jabs to help protect the most vulnerable people from getting flu, which can be life threatening.

This year, health and social care priorities across the county are to improve the uptake of the free nasal spray vaccination for 2 and 3 year olds, free flu jabs for pregnant women, over 65s and patients in clinical risk groups.

The flu jab is also being offered to all frontline social care staff who are directly employed by the County Council. The uptake of the flu vaccination last year for pregnant women and toddlers aged two and three across Nottinghamshire was less than 50%, the national ambition for this year is to achieve an uptake of at least 55%. For the over 65s, last Autumn/Winter the uptake in Nottinghamshire was over 70%, the national ambition for 2019/20 is 75%. Councillor Harper said: “Flu can kill so it’s important to make sure you are vaccinated. Some people are more at risk than others and it can be extremely dangerous for them to contract flu.

“Vaccination is the best protection we have against flu and it’s important that you get vaccinated each year as the flu virus is constantly changing.” If there is an increase in uptake from those most at risk this in turn helps to reduce serious health consequences and hospitalisation amongst these groups as well as GP appointments and pressure on A&E. Anyone who falls outside the at-risk groups can get the flu jab from high street chemists and most of the leading supermarkets at varying costs.

If you fall into an at-risk category, you can get the flu jab for free on the NHS from your local GP or pharmacy.

Domestic abuse can be happening right under our noses with victims suffering in silence or simply not knowing that they are victims. In a world where photos are constantly posted on social media, GMP are encouraging friends, family and colleagues to look beyond the lens, the filters and the emojis to find out if the person they love and care for needs help.

Domestic abuse includes coercive and controlling behaviour, financial and emotional abuse as well as violence and can affect anybody, regardless of gender, age, race, sexuality or social background. It is not acceptable in any circumstance.

Detective Superintendent Gwyn Dodd from Greater Manchester Police said:
‘We want to encourage victims, friends and family to report domestic abuse and put an end to it. We are here to help and want victims or those with concerns to know they can turn to us. Domestic abuse has potentially devastating consequences and it’s important people are aware of how to spot the signs.

Trust your instincts, if something doesn’t feel right it might not be. If you can tell that they are being controlled, are in a violent relationship or are being stopped from meeting friends and family report it. We know that one in three women will be a victim of abuse in their lifetime, as will one in six men. This is a sad statistic which highlights the scale of the problem across Greater Manchester.

Always dial 999 where there is a threat to someone’s life or a crime in progress. By encouraging reporting we can reduce the number of incidents of domestic abuse and save lives.’ It’s never easy to come to terms with knowing that someone is suffering. While every domestic abuse case is different, there may be telltale signs that indicate abuse is taking place.

These include:
Injuries
Bruising, cuts or injuries or walking stiffly or appears sore. These injuries may come with explanations that don’t fit with the description.
Excuses
The victim may excuse their injuries by claiming they are clumsy or gives the same explanation each time.
Stress
Displays physical symptoms related to stress, other anxiety disorders or depression, such as panic attacks, feelings of isolation and an inability to cope. They may even talk about suicide attempts or self-harming.
Absent from work
Often off work, takes time off without notice or is frequently late.
Personality changes
You may notice personality changes when the victim is around their partner, appears to ‘walk on eggshells’, may be jumpy or nervous.
Low self-esteem
Low self-esteem or lack of confidence regarding their relationship or life in general and may seem sad, cry or be depressed.
Lack of opportunity to communicate independently
Perhaps their partner talks over them, or for them. Their partner may appear controlling or regularly belittle the victim.
Self blame
May take the blame for anything that happens, whether it’s at work, with the kids or with friends. They may blame themselves for the abuse.
Lack of money
Never seems to have any money because their partner is withholding money to control them.
Stops socialising
Makes excuses for not going out with friends, or suddenly pulls out of social meets at the last minute.
Partner displays irrational behavior
Their partner is jealous, irrational or possessive. Their partner may accuse them of having affairs, flirting or may read their emails, check their phone or constantly phone to check up on them.
Unwanted pregnancy/termination
Pregnancy often triggers the start of domestic abuse. A individual may be unhappy at being pregnant, not wish to continue with the pregnancy, or be forced into having a termination.
Substance abuse
May use alcohol or drugs to cope or even prescribed drugs such as tranquillisers or anti-depressants.
Damage to property

There may be damage to the home or even harm to pets. Unwilling to give out personal details – may not give friends and colleagues their address or telephone number and may insist that they contact you, so that you don’t turn up on their doorstep.

Honour Based Abuse (HBA) includes Forced Marriage, Honour Based Violence and Female Genital Mutilation are harmful practices which we know affects not just the most vulnerable people of society but also those who we would ordinarily believe to be empowered enough to come forward and seek help but unfortunately don’t.

The concept of dishonour exists in all walks of minority communities including Asian, African, Middle Eastern and European societies.
The victim can be male or female made further vulnerable because they are a child. Other vulnerabilities can be mental health, learning difficulties or physical disabilities that the globe of perpetrators can exploit.

A victim may be a UK citizen, a foreign national or a probationary spouse unable to speak English.

Report it
Call us on 101, or, if it’s an emergency, if you think someone’s life is in danger, call 999. You can also call the Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0161 636 75 25.

Blackburn with Darwen Council is appealing for information after a ‘shocking’ amount of construction waste was fly-tipped in Hoddlesden.
A local farmer had to step in and use his tractor to help clear the debris after the haul was dumped in Long Hey Lane – close to the bus turning area. Grey sacks filled with building waste had been left strewn across the road as well as piles of wood and materials. It’s believed that the incident is one of the worst cases of fly-tipping that’s been reported on a road in the borough.

Councillor Jim Smith, Blackburn with Darwen Council’s Executive Member for Environment Services, said: There is no other word to describe this incident other than shocking. Our out-of-hours team were called out at around 8:30pm on Sunday evening and what they were met with is just disgusting. There were bags and bags of construction waste and piles of wood, plaster board and materials and it’d all been dumped in the road in the dark. Not only did it cause a blot on the landscape and a significant cost to the taxpayer for cleaning it up, but more seriously it could have resulted in an accident and someone getting hurt. Luckily, a local farmer saw our team on-site and stepped and offered to help move the debris from the road using his tractor. I’d like to thank him for his help. Given the amount of waste found dumped, it’s believed that the culprit must’ve been driving a caged vehicle or least at 7.5 tonne lorry. The Council is now appealing for anyone in the area who may have spotted anything suspicious to come forward with information.

Councillor Smith added:
Someone somewhere will know who is responsible for this. It looks as though the waste has come from work to a kitchen and it appears that a wall has been pulled down given the amount of plaster board. We take a zero tolerance approach to fly-tipping in Blackburn with Darwen and we want to find the people responsible and see them prosecuted like we have done in the past. I feel strongly that this cannot be allowed to happen in our borough – our residents deserve better. Anyone who fly-tips faces a £50,000 fine, six months imprisonment or both and we will investigate cases and bring those responsible to justice.

Local residents are being asked to check their CCTV and dashcam footage or report any information they have to help the investigation. Volunteer Janet Pearce, the founder of Keep Darwen Tidy, visited the area on Monday morning and provided these pictures.

She said: I’m shocked at such reckless behaviour which could have resulted in a serious accident. Anyone with information can contact the Council on: 01254 585921 or send a message to the Council’s Facebook page – Blackburn with Darwen Council.

“The transformation of the derelict Oak Mill site is almost complete,” announced Pendle Council’s Leader, Councillor Mohammed Iqbal.
“And we’re opening a show home for the attractive new housing development. “The old mill site had been an eyesore for years at a key gateway in and out of Colne and local councillors worked hard to give the area a new lease of life,” he explained.

The mill was demolished in 2013.
PEARL, the joint venture company of Pendle Council and contractors and developers Barnfield Construction, stepped in to buy the industrial site. PEARL, which stands for Pendle Enterprise And Regeneration Ltd, is about to celebrate 10 years of regeneration projects in Pendle.

“We’re very proud of PEARL’s track record in bringing new housing, commercial and leisure developments to Pendle,” said Councillor Iqbal.
“PEARL has invested £3.5 million to totally transform the former Oak Mill site,” he explained. Called Langroyd Place, it’s now a cul-de-sac development of 32 two and three bedroom family homes and bungalows on Skipton Road. “It’s in a prime position between Colne town centre and some of Lancashire’s most beautiful countryside,”said Barnfield’s Managing Director Tim Webber who is also a PEARL Board member. The show home will be open every Saturday and Sunday between 11am – 4pm.

Help to Buy is available for house buyers who meet the criteria and staff will be on hand at the show home to discuss this government scheme. Tim Webber said: “We’ve had unprecedented interest in Langroyd Place, with over 350 enquiries! “These will be great homes to live in and we urge people to come and see inside the show home – it certainly has the WOW factor!” Reservations have already been taken off plan so anyone interested is being urged to contact natalie.bond@barnfield-homes.co.uk or call her on 01282 442304.

Tim Webber added: “We have breathed new life into the former Oak Mill site with a scheme which will enhance the area and provide great places to live. “Developing a range of quality housing is a top priority for PEARL,” stated Councillor Iqbal. “Langroyd Place is a cul-de-sac which means it’s a perfect setting for families to put down roots. “We’ve also built six bungalows which are popular with older people,” he said. “Many developers do not build bungalows as the financial return is lower,” he explained. “But PEARL does because we are driven by a determination to offer local people a great range of housing choices, not by the bottom line,” he stated.

The new homes have been named after trees, as some beautiful mature trees border the development. And the cul-de-sac enjoys a sunny position with views of the historic hill-top town centre.

“Demand is high thanks to the development’s prime location,” explained Tim Webber. “The beauty spots of Lake Burwain and Noyna Rocks, which have views of Pendle Hill, are within walking distance of Langroyd Place,” said Councillor Iqbal.

The neighbourhood is also a short walk away from Foulridge Wharf on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and there are great opportunities for sport and leisure including sailing, golfing, walking and cycling. Langroyd Place is handy for town centre shops, restaurants, bars and theatres whilst being close to Colne’s thriving North Valley Retail Park. Councillor Iqbal added: “It really does offer the best of both worlds!”

Motorpoint Arena

A Star is Born This Way a stage show performed by Donna Marie as a tribute to Lady Gaga, covering all of Lady Gaga’s hits as well as some of the songs from the film “A Star is Born”.

Covering an artiste such as Lady Gaga is always going to be an enormous task, both vocally and visually Lady Gaga is a unique talent. Thankfully Donna Marie, was able to bring some of that magic to Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena.

After going through the tedious task of queuing up to be searched, we were then directed to our seats. For this performance the stage had been moved to the far end of the arena, to create a more intimate feel.

The opening of the show tried to replicate the start of the film “A Star Is Born” by having a male singer/guitarist (Adam Kelbie) perform “Black Eyes” just like in the film. From this point on Adam and the lady Gaga impersonator Donna Marie covered most of the tracks from the film. However, the audience only really burst into life during the more popular hits from the film such as “Shallow” and “I’ll Never Love Again”.

Before Donna Marie returned for the second half of the show, there was a guest vocalist who had won a competition to sing to the audience, Charlotte Pearce from Stoke on Trent was given ten minutes to impress the crowd with her vocal talent. Her cover of Anastacia’s “Left Outside Alone” was certainly a great way to demonstrate her vocal prowess. Hopefully Charlotte might go on to be signed and record some material.

Donna Marie returned for the second half of the show, this part of the show was geared towards the megahits that Lady Gaga has recorded. Donna managed to do an impressive job of entertaining the audience with renditions of hits such as “Born This Way”, “Poker Face”, and “Bad Romance”. The audience appeared to react better to the songs during this part of the show than the first half.

My only criticism about this show were the gap fillers in between songs whilst Donna Marie was changing into different costumes, it just lost the flow of the show at times. But if you see some of the costumes it is easy to understand why those gap fillers were necessary.

Donna Marie is a tribute act worth going to see live, a good entertaining evening with incredible music.

Shakespears Sister returned to Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall for their opening night of their UK tour. This is a tour that many fans felt would never happen, because back in 1993 due to the differences between the vocalists (Marcella Detroit and Siobhan Fahey) they parted ways for numerous reasons, leading to the cancellation of their show at the Royal Albert Hall. Thankfully before they split, they had managed to perform the Nottingham show to promote the album “Hormonally Yours”.

So fast forward to 2019, and the vocalist have made up and reunited for a brand-new UK tour. .

Support came via Delena, a female vocalist from the Ukraine, who had an impressive voice, however the dance music appeared to be lost on the audience. At times it looked like Delena was lip syncing due to the synthesised effects.

Once the stage was set for the imminent arrival of Shakespears Sister, they casually strolled on to the stage, Marcella wearing dark subtle attire, whereas Siobhan arrived wearing a white cowboy suit with flowers emblazoned on it (possibly it was a reference to Elvis Presley’s comeback suit).

“Goodbye Cruel World” was the set opener, and from that point on it was a trip down memory lane, with hits from the albums “Sacred Hearts” and “Hormonally Yours” transporting the audience back to the times when we were all a lot younger.

Marcella and Siobhan certainly seemed to be enjoying themselves on stage, and maybe the fact that they weren’t under any pressure to perform any recent hits made them more relaxed, although they did include their most recent single “All the Queens Horses”. As great as that was to listen to, it was clear that the fans really just wanted the old material. To be fair at £75 per ticket, the fans had every right to be demanding of the old material. Sure, enough that is exactly what they got.

Songs such as “I Don’t Care”, “The Trouble with Andre”, “My 16th Apology”, “You’re History” and “Dirty Mind” were pure blasts from the past. They used their songs as a narrative to explain their love/hate relationship throughout the years. Which worked really well in terms of their turbulent past.

Vocally both Marcella and Siobhan were a tour de force, and the show was amazing. The only slight criticism was the lack of build up when introducing their biggest hit “Stay”, I understand that they are possibly fed up to the back teeth of this song as it is not a true reflection on their musical style. But it would have been nice for them to have put a bit more effort into the build up to it. However even two and a half decades after its release “Stay” is still a powerful emotional song. A true classic ballad.

After 17 songs spanning across their back catalogue, it was time for the reunited vocalists to say bye to the adoring fans. However in true Shakespears Sister style they came back for the obligatory encore and finished with “Hello (Turn Your Radio On)” I think it must have been a quirky in joke to break convention, seeing as the set opened with “Goodbye Cruel World” and finished with “Hello”. There seems to some irony to those.

In short, both Marcella and Siobhan demonstrated that somethings are worth waiting for, and certainly for me, as someone who saw them 27 years ago, then had the privilege of catching them again in 2019, they are still as powerful live as they were back in their younger days. Let’s hope they have many more successful years and stay together.

Well it’s now November and I think we are now in the safe zone to mention the big man and Christmas!! The shops are all gearing up to it with the introduction of Xmas foods ranging from mince pies, cakes, chocolates, biscuits and the booze, wines and spirits.

At this time of year, we are in two minds, work out now to get into that new Xmas outfit or wait for the January rush when we jump on the get fit wagon.

STOP…. THINK…START NOW!!!!

You have a chance now to build up your fitness, the gyms will be quieter than January so you can take your time to learn how to use the machines properly and build technique and form and to understand the training regime you want to adopt. Try a few classes and get comfortable in the gym surrounding. Many are looking for weight loss:

Here at PECS exercise is a yearlong activity, it is important to remember that it is a full lifestyle change when we exercise for health and fitness. Not only do we exercise for image to change how we look, but very much a full body change inside and out. I would recommend that any individual embarking on a new or a resumed training programme should also do so when they are 100% sure that they are ready to start and carry on, not just at Christmas, in January, but the whole year through, and hopefully for life.

Here is a list of essentials to remember when working out as a long-term gym goer, beginner or novice.

  • Always have a good reliable training partner (If you choose to train in a pair)
  • Always stay hydrated, drink plenty of water
  • Train in the right gym/ environment
  • Always warm up before working out
  • Respect your workout area, always put away weights after use
  • Eat good nutritional food, proteins, carbs, good fats
  • Get a good amount of rest/ sleep

It wouldn’t be realistic to be expected to eat totally healthily over the Christmas period, its only right to make the right choices and compromises when looking at the nutrition side of your diet. Here at PECS Fitness we do offer our RIGHT BITE PREPPED MEALS.

MEALS CHOICES AVAILABLE

AMERICAN PEPPER with MIXED ROAST VEG
