Plans to build a cycleway through Birkdale’s nature reserve have been put on hold. Sefton Council has pulled its bid for planning consent ahead of a meeting tonight (Wednesday), following hostile opposition from local conservationists. At last week’s Southport Area Committee, more than 100 objectors campaigned against the scheme to lay a three-metre wide path along protected land. Dozens more wrote letters calling for the proposal to be scrapped, with 200 angry residents signing a petition. A website – ‘We Love Our Dunes’ – was even created as concern . Now Sefton has withdrawn its planning application at the eleventh hour – with officers set to undertake further public consultation. The cycleway – which was recommended for approval at the tonight’s planning committee meeting – would stretch from Pontin’s in Ainsdale to Selworthy Road, Birkdale, replacing an existing public footpath.

Many cyclist are against this path themselfs, the path is supported by local (jobworth) councillor  weavers, who seem to have jumped on the cycling band wagon, since southport were awarded all this money????,he was the one that had the path put on the sea wall even though it is mostly covered in sand and tourists walking on the path. . Would the money be better spent   with bike lanes down main roads of southport or even widening the path along the sea wall , as the distance works out the same and less construction work .

Anglezarke ,rivington

The name Anglezarke is derived from two Norse-Gaelic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse-Gaels>  elements.
 
first part comes from the name Anlaf <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anlaf> , a form of the popular Scandinavian <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia>  personal name of Olav <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olav> .
 
the second part comes from the Old Norse <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Norse>  meaning a 'hill pasture'
 
The two elements together mean 'Anlaf's hill pasture' - i.e. 'the hill pasture belonging to Anlaf'.
 
So from now on it is quite acceptable to say we are going over "Anlafs Hill"
