Just the ticket
Awishaw youngster got a slice of the action at the opening of a new Domino’s Pizza shop and bagged himself a tasty prize.
St Aidan’s Primary pupil Kobe Cochrane won free pizza for a year after spinning the lucky wheel at the Kirk Road store and landing on the golden ticket.
The five-year-old will now be able to enjoy a free, large pizza every month
Kobe was at the store with his mum Lisa, brother Theo, seven, and his sister Elliana, 18 months last Wednesday.
Lisa said:“kobe was so excited. He absolutely loves pizza so this is a great prize for him.
“He ran into school this morning telling all the teachers he had got the golden ticket.” A Wishaw hospital nurse has claimed security staff spend more time enforcing parking restrictions than protecting vehicles.
The nurse, who has worked at the hospital for a number of years, contacted the Wishaw Press following our story of an emergency theatre nurse having her car stolen during her shift at the hospital.
This week, the nurse, who asked not to be named, said: “My car’s been broken into twice and vandalised once.
“There was no film in the camera and police were not interested.
“Two Minis had their windows smashed in one week. That happened a couple of weeks ago. “One was vandalised with paint. “They’ve got CCTV but no film in the machines so unless the security see it happening in their office there’s no way of capturing it.
“Plus the office is at the very back of the hospital so by the time they get there those who have done it are well gone. There’s been a few cars vandalised in the last few years.
“It’s got to the stage we don’t even report it now.
“Security have to spend more time protecting the cars than putting parking stickers on them.
“There’s policemen supposed to be here and have their own room but I’ve never seen them since the summer.”
Last week, we reported on hardworking nurse Tricia Fulton who had completed a 10-hour shift at the hospital before realising her Ford Fiesta had been stolen from the car park.
Tricia told us she had spoken to security staff but they said the CCTV didn’t cover that area of the car park.
She added: “I just can’t believe that I am in there doing my job trying to save lives in theatre and then I come out and someone has done this.”
Marion Mark, director of hospital services, said: “In line with other public sector car parks, notices are displayed advising motorists that vehicles are parked in hospital grounds at the owner’s risk and that NHS Lanarkshire cannot accept liability for the loss or damage to the vehicle or their contents.
“We continue to make best use of our digital CCTV cameras, no film is required, and security staff monitor the car parks throughout the day. Digital images are made available to the police in the event of such incidents to aid detection of offenders.
“We would urge motorists to exercise normal precautions such as remaining vigilant and not to leave valuables on display in their vehicles.”
