Parking problems causing congestion outside Schools in the Overleigh and Westminister Park areas, normally as a consequence of school pick ups and drop offs. Plans to address the issue PCSO Pendrey and PCSO Fox will be working together distributing parking leaflets around the schools offering advice for parents on where and how to park safely. Local Priorities You said - The Meadows/The Groves - In previous years due to the warmer weather we have experienced issues with under age drinking and bbqs on the meadows in particular on weekday evenings and weekend days. High Visability footpatrol in the area, between the hours of 16.00pm and 21.00pm weekdays and 12.00pm 20.00pm on weekends. We did During August PCSO Pendrey along with the Community Safety Wardens have carried out high visibility patrols along the Meadows. Anyone found to be fishing here without a licence has been moved on from the area along with any persons found to be committing anti social behaviour. The next Community Action Meeting will take place on Thursday 3rd November @ 19:30 hours and will be held at St Marys Church Hall, Handbridge.

Changing your diet to cut down on the blood glucose (sugar) level can be achieved by limiting processed foods and foods containing added sugars. Carefully check and compare labels on foods to see sugar content. Even so called healthy cereals will shock you when you see how much sugar per 100 grams they often contain! Eat plenty of fresh fruit, leafy vegetables, lean meat, fish and whole grains, beans and pulses. Even a 10% weight loss can help towards improving the hormone levels. Regular exercising, such as a daily brisk walk, will improve weight loss, too. Both laser hair removal and electrolysis are excellent methods for keeping the excess hair problem manageable. For the oily skin and the acne a course of lactic acid peels to control the excess oil production will also help to reduce the number of outbreaks to

Polycystic ovaries syndrome affects 1 in 10 women and can show itself as early as puberty. Unfortunately the cause is unknown and there is at present no known cure, apart from radical surgery. The condition often presents itself with oily skin, acne, weight increase, particularly around the waist, excess hair growth to the face, neck, chest, stomach and back, but often thinning hair to the scalp, and irregular or no periods. Besides having small cysts containing fluid on their ovaries, women with Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome make more androgens (male hormones) in their ovaries. Researchers think that insulin may be linked to the increase of androgen production in the ovaries. Insulin is the hormone that controls the change of sugars, starches and other foods into energy. Many women with Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome have too much insulin and excessive insulin appears to increase the androgen production.

Queens Park High School has been celebrating a centenary of educating children. The celebrations have included students both past and present collecting memorabilia for a special exhibition at the school. The exhibition spans the 100 years from 1911, when the Handbridge School opened as the City & County School to 2011, the 40th anniversary of the school becoming a comprehensive. The school has also held three well attended reunions for past students and a black tie Centenary Ball (organised by the Home School Association) which saw over 100 people attend. Catering for the ball was done by the company A Catered Affair which is owned by ex-student Sue Robinson (ne Finlay) with husband Mike. Current students joined in the celebrations this week with special assemblies and Year 10 catering students baking a special birthday cake and individual cakes for all students in the school.
