THE inventor of the world's first permanently-tied shoelace has received acclaim from a unique source - the British Cheerleading Asssociation (BCA).

Guests are invited to the Green Man Lane Public Exhibition on Saturday October 10.
The latest draft masterplan for the regeneration of the Green Man Lane estate will be available for public view and comment this weekend at Jubilee Hall, at the top of Green Man Lane, West Ealing.
Members of the public, particularly residents of the estate, neighbours and local stakeholders, are invited to come and view the plan and to give their feedback on the work done so far.
Refreshments will be available.
Current plans for the project will see the phased demolition of the 464 homes on the estate and 346 new properties built for affordable rent and 91 for shared ownership. A further 309 homes are being planned and will be available to buy outright.
In addition to providing new homes and community facilities, the redevelopment is aimed at linking the estate more effectively to West Ealing town centre and contributing to the regeneration of the wider area and community.
