with Police Community Support Officer Jo Pendrey

Local policing priorities have been set following engagement with the local community and based on information fed back at surgeries held with local residents:

on the beat

There has been a significant increase in burglary offences whereby sheds and garages have been targeted. Plans to address the issue Regular high visibility patrols to take place and stop checks on persons acting suspiciously in the area. PCSO Pendrey to identify vulnerable premises and advise owners of security measures to prevent offences taking place. Local Priorities You said Large groups gathering within the Meadows drinking and causing a nuisance to members of the public. Youths are often abusive and intimidating and leave litter behind. We did PCSO Pendrey has met with local residents and members of Friends of the Meadows. Regular high visibility patrols have taken place over previous weeks by the Chester Outer Neighbourhood Policing Team and youths have been spoken to and moved on from the area. The next Community Action Meeting will take place on Thursday 11th August @ 19:30 hours and will be held at St Marys Church Hall, Handbridge.
If you have any questions or see me on patrol please feel free to stop and chat or alternatively contact either myself on 0845 458 6375 or by e-mail at joanne.pendrey@cheshire.pnn.police.uk

SummEr on THE mEaDoWS

What you find may well depend on the season, but a visit during the summer months offers the city dweller a chance to reconnect with nature. If you take a stroll along the River Dee, or cut through the centre of the Meadow you may find a few of its more secretive inhabitants. During the summer months impressive displays of wild flowers are to be found along the footpath circling the Meadow. On your walk keep a look out for Purple Loosestrife, Tansy, Meadowsweet and Water Speedwell which all hug the riverbank. The grasses & flowers in the centre of the Meadow support a whole host of insects including, Red Tailed Bumblebees, Grasshoppers and Burnet Moths . These are joined by numerous colourful butterflies including Meadow Brown, Common Blue, Large and Small Skippers. If you take a walk at the height of the summer you will be entertained by Swallows & House Martins weaving acrobatically at high speed through the avenue of willows catching flies centimetres above the ground. For further information on our activities, meetings and joining the Friends of the Meadows visit our website at www.friendsofthemeadows.org.uk.

FIRST impressions will lead you to believe not a lot exists on the Meadow apart from a large expanse of rough grassland occasionally grazed by a few cattle.

Nursery children enjoy the African experience

The children at St Marys Community Nursery School, Handbridge, enjoyed a welcome return visit of Misoshi to school recently. Misoshi was born in Ghana but now lives in England and visits schools telling stories and teaching children new songs from her native land. The children at St Marys are currently enjoying a topic on Africa so she also showed them how mothers carry their babies and shopping Ghanaan style. Pupils particularly enjoyed playing Misoshis drum and the schools own collection of African instruments whilst they danced as African animals. All pupils are looking forward with great excitement to their visit to Norton Priory later this term to go on safari.

The cause of back pain

By Stephen Massey, chiropractor at the ambleside clinic The way you move, your posture and the repetitive things that you do every day put an imbalanced strain on your back; some muscles and spinal joints get overworked while others are under used. Your body ignores the problem until the dysfunction in your spine crosses a critical threshold. The brains response is all or nothing; it does not know what is going on, it just knows something is wrong so it activates cells in the www.back-doctor.co.uk blood which cause inflammation. This causes your muscles to tense up to protect the area. The tense/spasming muscles put more pressure on the already compressed joints and damaged ligaments, which makes the problem worse. That, in a nutshell, is the problem. The solution, in the short term, is to break the pain spasm cycle through a combination of pain killers, treatment, ice/heat and gentle exercise. In the long term you need to address the underlying causes through doing the right exercises, and having an occasional check up to make sure everything is moving better. In my opinion this applies to everyone; whether you have a bad back or not, you should look after your back in the same way that you look after your teeth whatever condition they are in. If you back moves better you will feel better. If you move and feel better you will be turning a downward spiral of pain and dysfunction into an upward spiral of positive well-being.

Back pain often strikes out of the blue but the problem has usually been building up silently for some time, often years.

GArDEnInG by JAnET HEATH

VEGETAblES such as tomatoes, courgettes, pumpkins and beans will be ready for harvesting this month. Give the plants a boost when watering by adding a liquid fertiliser such as Tomorite or seaweed extract. Feed once a week to improve your yields. If you are growing Brussels sprouts or broccoli and the plants are becoming tall, stake them to prevent the plants from falling over! Also check brassica plants for cabbage white caterpillars and remove them before they eat your plants. In the flower border, colour will come from many perennials. Veronicas are perennials with small and tall varieties in pink, white and blue which are good for sunny positions. If you have a dry position, how about the grass, Stipa gigantea? It sends up tall golden oat stems that move in the wind and doesnt take up much space. Another good plant for sun is Verbena bonariensis which has tall stiff stems topped with heads of small purple 64

flowers. Again, it takes up little space in the ground and lasts for weeks. Not hardy in severe winters but it will self seed. For those of you lucky enough to have damp soil then there are a range of plants you can grow. In August the purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria has tall spikes of magenta pink flowers. Plant with Astilbes with their creamy white, pink and dark red flowers plus fine cut leaved glossy foliage. A quirky plant for those with damp soil and space for it to clump up, try Lysimachia clethroides with its white foxtail flowers all pointing in the same direction that remind me of a tribe of meerkats on the lookout!. Hedges can be cut in August as they should not grow too much before winter. Replant self seeded seedlings such as foxgloves or campanulas to fill in gaps in your borders. If you have an established hellebore plant in the garden, look under the large leaves and you may well find small seedlings already growing. Pot them up or move them out into more space so they can grow on.
