Nitrogen Tyre Inflation Solutions Why is Nitrogen better than Air for inflating Tyres? The Science Pressure – Pure Nitrogen molecules cannot permeate the rubber of tyres. This keeps the tyre pressure constant for a much longer period and ensures the correct amount of tyre is in contact with the road. Temperature – When the temperature of rubber in a tyre increases this has little or no effect on Pure Nitrogen molecules as it contains no water vapour (air does which causes the tyre to expand). This keeps the tyre pressure constant when in motion and ensures the correct amount of tyre is in contact with the road. Moisture – Normal air within tyres contains water vapour. Over time this can cause the inner wheel rim to rust. Nitrogen contains no water vapour and therefore prevents this rust build up. This keeps your car in the best possible condition at all times. How does all this science benefit the vehicle user?

When a tyre is inflated with Nitrogen it prevents the above problems, and gives your car: Extended Tyre Life Reduced Fuel Consumption Increased Safety Higher Performance The Statistics: Tests have shown that the average car driver could save between 4% and 7% in fuels bills when inflating with Nitrogen instead of Air. For eg, an average car doing 30 mpg, covering 12,000 miles a year, would save around £100 per year on fuel. Tests also prove that the average life of a Nitrogen-inflated tyre is 20% to 30% longer, saving a driver (based on 12,000 miles a year) £30-£50 on replacement tyres. James Jackson’s Central Garage offer Nitrogen Tyre Inflation for £20.00 (normal price) for a set of 4 tyres. They can be re-inflated free-of-charge whilst you own the vehicle.

Fleetwood 175th Anniversary On behalf of Fleetwood Museum Trust and the Fleetwood "175" Committee, may I thank the people of Fleetwood and surrounding area for their support in attending the Archive Film Show at the Marine Hall on Tuesday 11th. January. All 550 tickets were sold and it was good to see the Marine Hall almost full to capacity. My thanks also go to the local traders who donated items for raffle prizes; to all the staff at the Marine Hall whose help and consideration with all the ar-rangements for the evening was very much appreci-ated and to Lynn Asghar and the Museum Volun-teers who helped arrange the evening and sold raffle tickets and Museum items. When Fleetwood Museum opens for the 2011 sea-son on April 1st, there will be a special exhibition commemorating our 175 year history. Do visit the Museum to go down "Memory Lane" again.

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.


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. You can also see the full programme and other health walks in your area by logging onto www.wfh.naturalengland.org.uk .

Feta and Spinach

free-form pie

1 small or 1/2 large cucumber 2 red chillies, halved, seeded and finely chopped Small handful of fresh flatleaf parsley leaves, chopped Small handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped 1tbsp grated fresh root ginger 4 skinned salmon fillets (about 200-250g each) Splash of olive oil 250g tub creme fraiche

Halve and seed the cucumber, then cut the flesh into small dice. Put into a bowl and stir in the chopped chillies, parsley, mint, ginger and some seasoning. Set aside. Brush the salmon fillets on both sides with olive oil. Heat a little oil in a large frying pan and sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side until just tender and cooked through. Divide among four plates. Spoon a dollop of creme fraiche on each, then top with the hot chilli salsa.

Seared Salmon

Preheat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Brush a 20cm-round, loose-bottomed tart tin with some of the butter. Lay over a few sheets of filo, slightly overlapping and brush the overhanging filo with more butter. Repeat to use up all the pastry. Set aside. Crumble 125g of the feta into a bowl and mix with the rest of the filling ingredients and some seasoning. Spoon into the filo pastry case and crumble over the remaining feta. Fold the overhanging filo over the filling and scrunch it up roughly to form an edge. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and crisp and the filling is piping hot.

Meanwhile, make the relish.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and garlic, and cook, stirring, for five minutes. Stir in the puree, cinnamon and tomatoes, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the stock and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until reduced slightly. Season to taste. Serve with the filo tart.

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."

NCI Rossall Point

Voluntary organisations come in all shapes and sizes, providing support when local services aren’t able to meet their needs, mainly through lack of funds. The National Coastwatch Institution is no exception. Set up in 1994, following the closure of local Coast Guard stations, the NCI became the ‘eyes along the coast’ and has currently re opened over 40 stations, manned by volunteers and funded by donations, around our coast line.

The Fylde has the only NCI Station in the North West, situated at Rossall Point, with widespread views across Morecambe Bay. It is notorious for its ever changing sands and fast flowing tides. NCI Rossall Point recently achieved the Deferred Status Facility, which followed a joint exercise with HM Coast Guard and the RNLI. This assessment means we were passed fit to be integrated into the National Search and Recue organisation.

The NCI Rossall Point is manned 7 days a week, 10 till 6 in Summer and till 4 in Winter. They work closely with HM Coast Guard, their first point of contact in the event of an emergency. Last year, we reported many incidents, including alerting the Coast Guard to a family of seven and a man walking his dog, all cut off from the rising tides.

Training is kindly provided by Fleetwood Nautical College, every Wednesday evening at 7 and includes radio and radar training, chart work and weather re-cording.

This year, as part of the Sea Change programme, instigated by Wyre BC, the NCI Rossall Point can look forward to moving into a new iconic ‘leaning’tower. Work is due to start in the spring with completion in September.

Volunteers are always welcome, as are donations, towards the running costs of the station. For further information you can view online at : www.ncirossallpointfleetwood.co.uk or contact Steve Martin, the Station Manager, on 01253 874804.
