Nitrous Oxide Canisters
We continue to see a lot of little silver Nitrous Oxide canisters left on the park and car park.  As of November, it has become illegal to possess and heavy nitrous oxide use can result in serious health harms such as neurological damage. Nitrous Oxide deaths average one per week in the UK. www.talktofrank.com/drug/nitrous-oxide

Community Infrastructure Levy Projects
The Parish Council receives 15% of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) that is paid to the Borough Council when local developments are undertaken. We have historically spent this money on the park, bus shelters and other infrastructure within the community. The monies received from the Chisnall Brook development went on refurbishing the park, adding a path, equipment, and BMX Track.

Current ideas for projects include gateway “Welcome to Downholland” signs and the Parish Council has agreed to have a local artist, from a farming background, produce a metalwork sculpture to celebrate our local agricultural heritage. The design depicts a farm worker with a scythe at work and will be constructed in the wildflower area of the park next year.

If you’ve any thoughts or ideas, you’d be most welcome to come and share them – our meetings are the third Tuesday in the month, 7:30 at the Village Hall.

Defibrillator Training
I was pleased to attend a very informative training session at the Village Hall in September, organised by the Residents Association. A good turn out and a very worthwhile evening.

Jubilee Field
The park has had another successful year and continues to be well used. The Parish Council are continually improving the facilities and are in the process of replacing old signs and have recently finished work on installing a rope cordon to protect the orchard and spring bulbs. (Thank you to Councillor Steve Thomas for all his hard work)

Thank you also to Parish Councillors, residents, and members of the Residents Association for all their work on the park, along with James Forshaw, our grounds contractor, and his team, and to our staff Dave Bond and Andrea Little.

Remembrance
I was proud to represent the Parish at the recent Remembrance services at Our Lady’s and St Thomas Churches.
The Parish Council has been approached by local resident Stephen Henders about having a form of permanent memorial to those of our Parish who served in the World Wars, you can read Stephen’s contribution in this edition of KIT.

Community Shop
Thank you to Maggie Lloyd for all her efforts in trying to establish a community shop in Haskayne. Unfortunately, there was insufficient interest or offers of help forthcoming.

Christmas
As usual I’ll be driving Santa’s sleigh around Haskayne again this year, look out for him on Saturday 16 December, more details in the Residents Association’s article in this edition, along with details of other events taking place.

On behalf of myself and the Parish Council I’d like to wish you all are very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thank you.

RECTOR OF LYDIATE AND DOWNHOLLAND, SUSAN SALT

What sort of memories do you have from Christmas past?  For me, as a child, the excitement certainly started when the Christmas tree, with all its baubles, lights, and tinsel, was brought down from the attic.  That was usually around mid-December, and it marked the start of a time when everything was just that little bit different and normal routines were laid aside for a while.  My parents enjoyed some time off work and family members gathered at our house for Christmas dinner.  It was, of course, great to be off school as well!

Maybe that was not a very holy view of Christmas, but it does make me think now of one very important aspect of the incarnation (God being born and living with us on earth).  When Jesus came into the world, he came to make a difference.  Whether he truly understood just what an impact he would make we can only guess at, but in the end, he changed things so much that the majority of the world now measures dates and seasons based on the time of his birth.

With this in mind, it seems right that the way we mark Christmas should be special, allowing us to depart from our daily routine.  For some that means more partying, but even amongst the rowdiest of parties the name of Christ is uttered without shame or embarrassment (even if it is not obvious to all that he is what ‘Christ-mass’ is all about!).  For others it might mean a trip to the local church to join in with some carols at one of our services.  Even for those already committed, it means worshipping at different times and with the crib always in view, bringing home that message that “God so loved his world that he sent his only son to be born and die for each of us.”

Christmas should be different, but we must go beyond simply marking it out as a special season.  If Jesus came to make a difference, it is up to us to make sure that we too make a difference in the world. And the world today, more than ever, needs to hear a different message that speaks of peace, mutual respect and hope not anger, division and hopelessness.

May the peace of Christ dwell in you this Christmas time and be your inspiration in the coming year.


Why not try and make space for Christ this Christmas?

CONTRIBUTION FROM STEPHEN HENDERS

A PROJECT TO MAKE A PLACE IN DOWNHOLLAND TO HONOUR OUR WORLD WAR DEAD.

We are canvassing support for a place where the men who went to the World Wars from this parish can be honoured. It was decided, by the War Commission after World War I, that soldiers should be commemorated on the memorial of the nearest village or town to which they were linked. The Parish Council of Downholland was still relatively new when war broke out in 1914 consequently the church parishes were still used when it came to recording the fallen and burying their remains and Downholland did not have a church only a mission at Barton. We therefore have men who went to war from Barton, Haskayne and Downholland commemorated on the memorials in Halsall St Cuthbert, in St Thomas Lydiate and in Our Lady Catholic Church in Lydiate. In my research I have found the names of thirteen men from our parish who made the ultimate sacrifice, and they are listed below with their association to this parish.

Arthur Green 1943. Husband of Eva Green of Haskayne buried in Birkdale cemetery.

James Craven 1917. Son of William & Margaret of Barton Lane not on local monuments.

George Charles 1917. Of Station Rd and Barton Station recorded on the Halsall monument.

Ernest Sharrock 1942. Son of Hannah, licensee of the Kings Arms recorded on the Halsall monument.

Peter Sharrock 1918. Son of Hannah, licensee of the Kings Arms recorded on the Halsall monument.

Henry Rawlinson 1917. Married to Mrs J Rawlinson of Haskayne recorded on the Halsall & Lydiate monuments.

Edward Townsend 1917. Of Hollinshead farm, Haskayne recorded on the Halsall monument & roll of honour.

Robert Halsall 1918. Of Rosemary Lane recorded on the Halsall monument.

J Halsall 1943. Of Downholland recorded on the Kohima gate Halsall field.

J J Knowles 1917. Of Barton recorded on the Halsall monument.

Richard Rimmer 8/8/1916. Grandson of Richard Mary of Barton. 1911 census worked on local farms. 11803 Thiepval KLR age 20 1st battalion. Son of Richard & Ann of Lowood Street Liverpool.

Haskayne is now the civic centre of the Parish of Downholland, and we have a splendid Village Hall courtesy of the HDCA, and a flagpole erected recently by the Downholland Residents Association. The aim of the project is to identify those lads who gave their lives from our parish in some material form as a way of recognition and to inform the Commonwealth War Graves Commission of our intent upon verification of the detail.

Additionally, there are soldiers who served and survived.

WWI

Tom Ashcroft. promoted to Sergeant.

Edmund Orritt wounded married a girl from Haskayne.

Hugh Alty driver wounded.

John Sharrock RAF 1918

Henry Bond Ivy farm Barton

William Bond, Ivy farm Barton

If you could contribute to this project with detail of a member of your family from Downholland who served in the World Wars, please contact me.

LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCILLOR, DAVID O’TOOLE

The last few months have been very busy at County Hall. Firstly, I failed to be re-elected at WLBC in the seat I have held for 33-year Aughton and Downholland. I understand why it because of what’s been happening at Parliament. However, residents tend to get confused over the different strands of Government. Local councillors have no input or decision making at Westminster.

As far as LCC is concerned we continue to reduce the massive deficit we inherited whilst improving services in every department. The two largest departments are Children’s Services (including schools, children’s homes, looked after children, foster children and children with special needs) and Adult Services (including a very large number of homes for the elderly, visits to elderly people in their own homes and day centres). The cost of these services alone runs into millions of pounds.

We continue to repair roads across the county but it’s extremely difficult in the very bad weather we have experienced. I understand that October was the wettest on record. You cannot fill at pothole in those conditions.

As many of you will know I am the Chairman of Lancashire Fire and Rescue. This year saw youths attacking Fire Fighters with rockets and other types of fireworks plus throwing missiles at both fire crew and fire engines. A rise in parts of my Division in Anti-Social behaviour perpetrated by young people.

While writing about the Fire Authority. We have had number of extremely dangerous fires recently at waste transfer sites as a result of people disposing of Vapes in their general waste. These things have Lithium batteries which can be extremely volatile and burst into flames thus igniting everything around them.

A recent example was a waste site a Chorley which blazed for hours and requiring six fire engines and crews until late the next morning.

The message is DON’T dispose Vapes in the general waste and better still don’t even use them at all.

I still have some money to distribute for projects and organisations in my division, tell me if you need help.

Two major requirements. Bank account and a Constitution.

Best wishes to all.

HASKAYNE AND DOWNHOLLAND RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

Hello everyone.

Christmas is just round the corner, and I hope you have an enjoyable time with your Christmas festivities. I hope you are all well and find the following information interesting.

Family Fun Quiz

Our thanks to Alan and Nikki Raven and their children for their hard work in putting on a fun evening and to Shirley for organising the raffle. The event raised £322.35 which has been divided between the Community Association and the Residents Association.

Children’s Halloween Party

This year’s children’s Halloween party seemed to be enjoyed by all those who came. The tickets were a sellout. Dozy Dave was a brilliant entertainer who kept the children’s attention. The quiet room with biscuit decorating and colouring was busy all afternoon. 

Christmas Events 2023
Carol Singing around the Christmas Tree will take place on Friday 22nd December, 6.30 pm at Haskayne Village Hall followed by a hot drink and mince pies in the hall.

Father Christmas will visit Barton on Friday 15 December and Haskayne on Saturday 16 December. Look out for him and his elves calling door to door with his Christmas Lights and music, handing out presents to the children. Any money collected will be used to benefit the local community. You can follow Father Christmas’ progress round the village by looking on Haskayne Downholland and Barton community Facebook page.

Picnic in the Park
Following the great success of the Coronation Picnic in the Park this year we have been asked by many people to make this an annual summer event. So, we have decided to have a Family Picnic in the Park, just look out for the date in a future KIT or on our Facebook page. For those who have not been before there will be races for the children, games, quizzes, treasure hunt, tombola. Bring your own picnic. Refreshments and cakes available in the hall.

Calling all young people in Downholland
We would like to put on something for young people in Downholland. We would like to hear from any 12 -18-year-olds for suggestions as to what we might be able to organise with them. You can let us know your ideas by text or what’s app (07563552236 Kathy Cunliffe) or by phone, email, Facebook or message to (01704 841066, roycunliffe@btinternet.com, Facebook Page: Haskayne & Downholland Residents Association)

Defibrillator training
Two sessions were held at Haskayne Village Hall in September each attended by 12-14 people. Steve Bousefield gave an excellent session on what to do in an emergency and why. We are grateful to him for freely giving up his time. We intend to put on something similar on an annual basis and hope that as many people as possible can attend.

Emergency Aid – Bleed Packs

Haskayne has two defibrillators available to the community. One is outside the Village Hall. To access this dial 999 and the ambulance service will give you the code. The other is in the former phone kiosk in Sumner Avenue, which is accessible without any code. There is a third one inside Haskayne School, available when the school is open.

As a result of the training Haskayne Residents Association has purchased two bleed packs, for use in the case of an accident where someone is bleeding profusely. These will be placed in the defibrillator cabinets alongside the defibrillators. If you need to use one of these packs or a defibrillator always ring 999 so the ambulance service can talk you through what to do while the ambulance is on its way.

We have also purchased 20 face masks to minimise risk of infection when giving CPR. If anyone who has had some training in CPR and feels confident to do it would like one of these to keep in their wallet please contact Kathy (kathycunliffe@btinternet.com) 01704 841066.

Dates for your Diary

Sat 2 March 2024 – Music and dance: Andy Eastwood, singer/musician and disco.

Picnic in The Park – date to be confirmed – probably early June 2024
