England Football Day

Warm up for England’s World Cup opener with the USA this Saturday(12th June) by taking charge of your own robotic football team in Church Square.

Robotsoccer will be one of the highlights of an England Football Day in the square – complete with bunting, giveaways, England flags and cheering crowds.

Robotsoccer promises the euphoria of goalscoring – without the exertion of taking to the pitch. The game comes from the makers of TV’s Robot Wars.

It’s all part of the Football Association’s drive to get everyone behind the national team as they bid for World Cup glory in South Africa.

There will also be soccer-themed street entertainment, football freestylers and facepainting - in both Church Square and St Mary’s Market. St Mary’s market traders will also enter customers spending over £1 into a prize draw to win a superb 42” LCD TV.

The England Football kicks off at 11am in Church Square – with the final whistle due at 4pm.

Marie calls for cut in Councillors' expenses

Marie Rimmer has called for a 4% reduction in councillor expenses

The new Labour Leader of St Helens Clouncil Marie Rimmer recommended that the Independent Remuneration Panel be asked to consider the proposal to the reduction which, she says, she has long since fought for.

“It is totally unacceptable that councillors receive a bigger increase than both employees who work for the Council and many working residents,” said Councillor Rimmer. “I want St.Helens to lead the way in a more equitable system of councillor expenses to ensure they never rise above a fair level and what is equitable with other working people. It’s all about what is fair and right.”

Many local residents will be shocked at the recent developments that have witnessed the formation of a Tory/Lib Dem coalition government. We said during the election campaign that a vote for the Lib Dems was a vote to put David Cameron into 10 Downing Street and so it proved. The Labour Party has gained thousands of new members in the last few days to help us fight the Tory/Lib Dem “Coalition of cuts” ,and to help protect our public services.

Labour’s investment in schools, hospitals and communities helped undo much of the damage caused by the previous Tory government.If you want to join us in our fight please click on the link below.
