‘Future proof’ your financial arrangements Getting divorce does not mean that financial issues will automatically be resolved. Many separating parties go through divorce proceedings and agree financial arrangements on an informal basis e.g what will happen to the family home, how pensions will be dealt with and is any on-going maintenance going to be paid. However unless such arrangements are properly drawn up in a legal document known as a “consent order” and filed at Court for approval by the Judge then there is no formal binding agreement in place to protect you going forward. If there is no such binding agreement then either party can bring a Court application at any future point for financial provision against the other party, from whom they may have separated and formally divorce several years ago. Whilst you may be worried about legal fees, family law specialists are committed to helping you to resolving issues outside Court, wherever possible. Family mediation must always (save in exceptional circumstances) be considered as a first step. When family mediation is not appropriate, or one party is unwilling to engage, that still does not mean that you will end up in Court. The majority of people, with the assistance of legal advice, resolve issues constructively without a Court application being issued. By taking legal advice you can make an informed choice as to what is an appropriate financial settlement for your family. Every family is a different and there is no one size fits all approach. Once you have determined what is appropriate for your family then it is vital that the agreement reached is formally recorded in a legal document and lodged at Court. That way you can ensure that you protect yourself and your family going forward.

Editor’s Letter

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Covered – the new name for The Really Useful Guide. This month sees Covered celebrate our third anniversary. It’s been a long hard road but I’m delighted that I took the decision to launch Covered and to expand recently through a merger with The Really Useful Guide. Of course launching a business is never an easy project and our merger with RUG hasn’t been without its teething problems. A dirty tricks campaign by a rival publication seems to be in full flow but niggles from the lower echelons of publishing only seek to strengthen my resolve to ensure that Covered remains firmly in place as the city’s bestread monthly. I’m proud that Covered doesn’t have to stoop so low as to make false claims in an attempt to lure away readers and advertisers. It’s always a shame when a business relies on deceit and dishonesty and seeks to damage a competitor rather than win business in a fair and reasonable

F d & Dr nk Del Verde Del Verde is a family-run restaurant located in the golf club, next to Roundhay Park. Open to the public, this Mediterranean eatery seems to be a well kept secret amongst locals and can be easy to miss, though it’s situated on Park Road between the two busy commuter routes of Street Lane and the Ring Road. Husband and wife team, Helen and Kevin Maudson, took over this somewhat unique venue in December 2007, when it looked rather more dated and was called simply ‘Park Lane’. Nowadays, it’s tasteful and welcoming, decorated with warm wood tones and cheery oranges and reds. It’s deceptively large inside too. From quite a modest exterior, a short corridor leads you to the sizeable, but still cozy and warm, multi level restaurant. Another misconception seems to be the dress code. It seems to be an often made assumption that the attachment to the golf club means formal wear only. This

is not the case and everyone is made to feel equally welcome and at home at Del Verde. And ‘welcome’ is a description which cannot be over-emphasised here; the attentive team clearly enjoy, and take pride, in what they do, expertly balancing professionalism with a very friendly air. Ruth Spargo, the Restaurant Manager, is a local to the area and so, a familiar face to many. Having worked at Del Verde for the past 5 years, she is knowledgeable about the dishes and drinks available and the many wonderful and glowing reviews for this

restaurant prove just how much difference having good staff can make. Aside from a welcoming atmosphere though, the other obvious ingredient required is good food, and they certainly seem to have that covered too. Kevin, himself, cooks much of the time and trained at well-respected Leeds eatery Salvo’s, where he worked from the tender age of 14. Having worked his way up to commis chef, before investing in Del Verde, Kevin is keen to do the same for all of the staff here and

Mark Ambler is now head chef, having similarly worked his way up through the ranks. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is just another simple Italian restaurant though. Whilst the pizza and pasta dishes all look and smell exceptional, there is an interesting mix here, from the popular king prawn spaghetti through to dishes such as lamb kebab and duck leg confit, with special attention also paid to gluten free and vegetarian requirements too. And there is

always a dish available which will see a 35p donation going to Del Verde’s chosen charity, the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. There is a popular range of desserts, wines and spirits, with the house wine starting at a very reasonable £13.95. A set menu also offers good value for money and the restaurant hosted their first Jazz evening in January, which sold out and they are hoping it will be the first of many music themed evenings. And, as well as being the perfect place for a romantic evening meal, Del Verde is available for private dining during the day by arrangement, and can offer a buffet or a la carte menu making it an ideal venue for any family gathering or celebration. And during the warmer months, children can practice their putting on the green just behind the restaurant whilst still under the watchful eye of their parents. Del Verde translates as ‘The Green’ in English, which is a lovely and apt name for this restaurant with views of the golf course just outside the window, but it’s the food and the staff which make this place a little bit special and it’s not so difficult to see why they were finalists for a prestigious ‘Oliver’ award and just how they got all those fantastic reviews. www.delverde.co.uk

It is potatoes boulangère or, to use its full name (if you want to impress), pommes de terre à la boulangère. Boulangère refers to the adopted method of cooking, not the ingredients. People would leave their dish in the local baker’s oven in the morning. By lunchtime both the baker and dish would be finished. There is no definitive recipe. So, feel free to vary. The beauty is that it keeps perfectly on a lower shelf in the oven and can be reheated the following day. If with a roast, it’s safest to aim to cook it half

12 Blast from the Past

The Good Old Days - Living at Home

heavy industrial and construction ceramics. The rapidly expanding business, among others, strained the existing housing stock way beyond its limits and with nowhere left to build. Overcrowding and poor sanitation were recipes for diseases such as typhoid.

The increased numbers of young adults living with their parents has been widely reported recently. Perhaps it was one of those stories lying-in-wait for a lull in real news. They even tried to make it look like real news by paying questionable experts to state the obvious reasons; fewer and later marriages, shortages of housing, not enough money around. But, whereas many of today’s young don’t have the choice, at least most of them have the space.

Pictured is the large “House of Recovery” in Burmantofts (Beckett Lane). Specifically for treating people with infectious diseases, it was built in 1846 – long before more overcrowding made matters worse. As late as 1887 George Cartwight, one of Leeds’ own sanitary inspectors, died there of typhoid fever – possibly contracted during one of his inspections. His widow and six children benefited from an £85 trust fund set up with the proceeds from a memorial concert held in his honour - no industrial injuries, widows’ pension or housing benefit in those days. Still, his family fared better than those left behind in the slums – another story entirely.

In Victorian times, families of workers living in the inner city areas of major conurbations such as Leeds had neither. New industries popped up among existing ones, needing more workers but not meeting their need for more housing. A good example was the discovery of china clay in a coal mine in Burmantofts, near the city centre. Burmantofts Pottery sprang up in 1863, making

The House of Recovery was soon to be replaced by Seacroft Hospital. Pictured here in January 1905, the fog (or fogged image) gives a hint of its murky past.

16 Readers’ Letters

Readers’ Letters Star Letter Hello Chris Mrs Jenny Fern asked if other readers agree with her in slamming Leeds Council’s obsession with the farcical Trolleybus proposals. Yes I do, Mrs Fern. 100% – along with everyone else I’ve spoken to and virtually every correspondent in the regional media. This preposterous plan to link Leeds’ northern and southern extremities with an outdated, inflexible, 14km fixed route system costing £250 million simply defies logic. Estimates indicate that only 10,000 people reside close enough to access the route, yet +500,000 Leeds residents will finance £77 millions of infrastructure construction and running costs/losses. What’s more, I understand that does not cover a budget for buses, which will almost certainly be sourced overseas. The northern route is an environmental disaster, carving through Headingley and Woodhouse at the cost of 400 trees, undisclosed buildings and imposing an ugly network of overhead cables, gantries, pylons and control boxes to blight what is a pleasant urban cityscape. The system has been designed to prioritise trolleybus movements at the expense in time, cost and convenience of all other road users – including existing bus services. Yet the savings in travel time amount to a few insignificant minutes. Metro admits that congestion will worsen. Perhaps the most alarming factor in this sorry tale of bureaucratic dictatorship is that Leeds Labour Council destroyed any prospect of an open, democratic discussion and decision by steamrollering the scheme through via a Three

Line Whip on Labour councillors. So if your readers agree that the trolleybus concept is a nonstarter, I invite them to ask the true opinion of their local councillors, and warn them that your vote depends on their answer. Already Leeds Council has wasted £40 million on the aborted light rail system, and has squandered a further £5million on trolleybus plans (largely to outside consultants). Are they so anxious to grab the Government’s £177 million bribe that reasoned debate and common sense fly out of the window? Whilst this major and irreversible transport policy decision does not directly affect those of us who live to the East and West of the city (apart from paying for it!), if approved, you can bet your last penny that the same discredited scheme will be imposed between, where…Garforth and Guiseley …Hook Moor and Horsforth ??? And when…2020…2030…??? So let’s all pause, take a deep breath and ask a few questions. What vehicle provides self-contained, free-ranging access and mobility ?

inflexible infrastructure ? Where is technologically advanced bus design, development and manufacture located in the UK, creating and sustaining employment ? Are you listening, Leeds City Council ? An independently powered bus, dual fuelled or (soon) electric powered, requiring no expensive, unsightly supporting infrastructure and already being built by the world’s fifth largest specialised Bus Corporation which exists just 20 miles to the East of Leeds. Open your eyes, Councillors, to Optare of Sherburn in Elmet and close a deal with a firm of the future, not a discredited dodo of 19th century technology. Yours truly Vernon Wood (Garforth)

Editor’s comments: Thank you Vernon, for such a well reasoned argument against Leeds NGT. Although we are aware of numerous protests and protest groups, you have taken it further than most by suggesting alternatives. Opposite is a photograph of one such alternative – the Optare Versa. This service bus has recently been deployed in Guildford and Nottingham. It is available with three power options; diesel, electric and hybrid. When Covered spoke with John Rawlings, Optare’s publicity consultant, he did add that the one factor presently affecting the viability of the fully electric version was its limited range – unlikely to be a problem on short shuttle routes such as the one planned in Leeds, particularly where there is the option of fast recharging points en route. Covered hopes to be taking a closer look at Optare in the near future. In the meantime, we’d love to hear from any Leeds residents who favour the Leeds NGT proposals, and why. In particular, why aren’t electric, hybrid buses or even LPG powered units preferable to more expensive and irreversible changes to the urban and semi-rural landscape?

18 Property Matters

A Garden on the Roof Planning an extension? Renovating a barn? Give some thought to a green roof! For some years a keyword in Government policy, town planning and architectural design has been “sustainability”. Green Roofs are an integral part of sustainability and are gradually entering mainstream design in the UK. You can see them on schools, hospitals, public and commercial buildings as well as on homes. Ongoing research from Germany and North America has clearly demonstrated economic benefits such as savings in energy costs and a significant extension of the life of a roof with a covering of vegetation. Less obvious but of increasing importance are the public benefits in areas such as storm water management coupled with the promotion of bio-diversity and improved habitat. Green Roofs have been shown to bring a dramatic reduction in rain water runoff, helping overstretched drainage systems to cope and reducing the potential for flooding – a significant factor in vulnerable areas. What other benefits do these green or “living” roofs

Green Roofs Naturally helped Leeds University’s “Sustainability” garden take gold at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2012. Even the water butt has a green roof...

offer – particularly to the individual householder? First are the amenity and aesthetic improvements which they bring to the local landscape. The immediate transformation of a black asphalt roof to a vibrant multi-coloured garden is not only a delightful visual enhancement but will also lift your spirits. What’s more, the asphalt will last much longer with a protective green blanket shielding it from extremes of heat and frost. Domestic green roofs provide the most interest and reward. A garden shed blends into the North Yorkshire landscape

A garage roof or an old shed can be brought to life virtually overnight and provide the opportunity to experiment with a wide variety of plants and flowers. Where space is limited, you can even create a mini vegetable garden. What about maintenance, you may ask? Shall I have to take the lawn mower to the roof? David Beattie, of Green Roofs Naturally, who has been installing gardens on roofs for a decade or so, told Covered: “The simple answer is that green roof maintenance is minimal. If correctly installed Habitat. A curlew’s nest in Green Roofs Naturally’s sedum field at Denton, near Ilkley

with a low-nutrient, freedraining substrate the roof can, in effect, be left alone. My own experience however is that people take real pleasure in being involved in the development and many variations of a living roof.â&#x20AC;? Sedum is the preferred planting for low maintenance, forming compact mats for colour all year round. In summary, Green Roofs are easy to install, provide a good talking point and give great satisfaction. So why not do it and enhance your own environment?

Slaid Hill looks forward to the Tour! Slaid Hill in Bloom is a group of local residents working together to make the area an attractive place to live, shop and work. It has been going for eight years and has transformed the area with environmentally friendly planting, giving year-round interest. Its 2014 project is a spectacular summer display to celebrate the passage of the Tour de France through Yorkshire. The group is supporting the RHS campaign “Colour Yorkshire Yellow”, so the flowerbeds will be a mass of yellow double non-stop begonias. With yellow hanging baskets, they will make a big splash of colour, welcoming all visitors before, during and after that weekend in July. There is already a cheering winter display with delightful dwarf cyclamen at the corner of Wike Ridge Lane, by the Dexter and more than 4000 bulbs are planted in the area, just waiting to emerge. Be sure to make a detour to spot the double crocus – the first sign of spring – and then the striking daffodils, narcissi and giant orange and black tulips. Co-chair Margaret Herbert told Covered: “We meet once a month on a Saturday morning and welcome anyone who would like to join us. We have a great time, followed by a delicious lunch

Music review: Rodriguez, Coming from Reality Searching for Sugarman has moved into art-house after commercial success in 2012. It is an inspirational film, tracing the story of Sixto Rodriguez, a Detroit demolition worker, who recorded an album, Cold Fact, in the 60s which bombed in US and Europe. It became a hit in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa – unbeknown to Rodriguez, who simply went back to the day job until a couple of South African fans found him a few years ago and he finally got the recognition he deserved. Coming from Reality is Rodriguez’ second album, recorded in London in 1971, and which also fell off the radar. Critics rated him with Dylan, but he never played the fame game and his songs are anything but commercial. This album shows his whole range: lyrical poetry, astute and hard-hitting social and political commentary, quirky takes on news items, snapshots of low-life and losers, happiness and heartbreak. The music is sublime; Rodriguez’ vocal purity ably served

by carefully chosen backing musicians who also get their moments of glory. Buy it! Oscar winner in 2013 for best documentary, Searching for Sugarman is available on DVD and from Lovefilm. Cold Fact and Coming from Reality are available from Light in the Attic recordings, website lightintheattic.net Even the sleeve notes are state of the art!

The local franchise owner, Richard Greenwood, says: "We have been with Covered from the start and as a result have built up a strong client base in the area so it is a natural progression to build on the success by taking full advantage of Covered's dominant position in the areaâ&#x20AC;?.

Ovenu clean every make of oven from built-in singles to AGAs and whilst primarily their work is aligned to household ovens, they also welcome commercial oven cleaning.

Grow with Joe in February! Joe Maiden is a popular figure, and voice, in the horticultural world. A local market gardener himself, he is widely published on the subject and has a regular Sunday morning slot on BBC Radio Leeds. Those who have heard him answer listener’s questions will know that he conveys genuine interest, knowledge and expertise. Cookridge Garden club hosted a Grow with Joe evening on Wednesday 15th January. Their regular venue, the Methodist Church Hall, was at capacity. Joe Maiden provided an enjoyable evening, distributing information and tips on a wide range of plants, flowers and vegetables. Everyone went home with a huge smile, about as much information as they could contain. Sales of Joe’s own books and growing stock were also strong on the night.

Members of Cookridge Garden Club were “Growing with Joe” at Cookridge Methodist Church Hall on 15 February. Exhibitors at forthcoming garden shows can learn how to “Grow and Show” with Joe Maiden in Huby (between Otley and Harrogate) on 28 February.

Over and above the qualities of other TV and radio pundits, Joe Maiden’s expertise is and remains local – rather Like Covered’s own gardening

There is a golden rosette of an opportunity for would-be horticultural show exhibitors on Friday 28 February. Weeton Show, in conjunction with

expert Eric Wells. OK, Alan Titchmarsh is from Ilkley. But his garden and growing spaces in Hampshire, and those of the Kew and Chelsea brigade, won’t have been subject to the same climatic challenges as your greenhouse or allotment. Were your crops affected by last year’s freeze or this year’s flooding? That’s where local expertise becomes invaluable.

Gordon Kirby of Almscliffe Hall, is presenting an evening “Growing for Showing” with Joe Maiden. Gordon and Joe will be telling the audience which showstoppers to plant and when – and how to select and present them. Top tips from the professionals, rounded off by answers to any questions thrown at them. The evening, 7pm for 7.30, is at Almscliffe Village Hall, Harrogate Road, Huby. Tickets at £5, including light refreshment, are available from Justin Locke on 01423 734243.

Oakwood Acorns sprout in 2014 The leafy suburb of Oakwood is a sprouting place this year with many events on the agenda. The beautiful Oakwood Clock is in need of restoration and many local Oakwood residents have been busy donating to save the Oakwood clock. The fund-raising currently stands at £55,000 which is nearly half way towards the original target of £120,000. This is a tremendous achievement and the team at OTRA (Oakwood Traders and Residents Association) thank all who have helped. Donors can help to reach the goal to get the clock restored by logging on to the website oakwoodclock.co.uk The Tour de Roundhay will be riding into Roundhay School on Sunday 22 June 2014. Celebrating the

visit of the Tour de France’s visit to Yorkshire, the Tour de Roundhay will have bike rides for all ages, live music, tasty food and lots of exciting events. Last year, the Clock Rock and Two Empty Barrels rocked locals in Oakwood with a musical festival celebrating the local music scene as well as local artists and a beer festival. In 2014, Clock Rock is back for the beginning of August with more music, more beer and more local artists. Plans are also in the pipeline for an Oakwood Festival later in the year with music, films and food – watch this space! The next Oakwood Farmers’ Market is on Saturday 15 February. Oakwood and Roundhay residents have a lot to look forward to this year. Find out more on the OTRA and REAP web pages oakwoodotra.org and reapleeds.org.uk

Leeds Rowing Club Leeds Rowing Club was founded in 2006, but rowing in the city goes back far longer, with clubs and regattas flourishing in Victorian times. LRC has gone from strength to strength, with huge interest generated by the Olympics. The Club is at capacity, with 110 members and 300 on the waiting list, and the boathouse at Waterloo Lake, Roundhay, is stacked to the rafters. So the news that funding of £1million has been secured for a new site to be developed at Thwaites Mill, on the Aire and Calder Canal in south Leeds, is a great boost. Backers include the Lottery, British Rowing and Leeds University, who will share the new boathouse. Membership will treble and the 4km stretch of water will make all the difference to race practice. Waterloo Lake is just 750m long and most races are between 1000 and 2000 metres. Access to the site is easy from major roads and the M1 motorway and there is a well-used cycleway and tow-path running alongside, encouraging community interest.

Smiling in the rain. Intrepid Leeds Rowing Club members go out in all weathers

When the new boathouse is up and running, the Club hopes to retain the Roundhay site, which is quite beautiful and a great facility for north Leeds. Members range in age from 12 to over 80 and the Club has had considerable success at all domestic levels in its short life. One rower taught there has won consecutive “reserve” crew races for Isis (Oxford University) and crews have won at Henley Women’s Regatta and on the Olympic Lake. LRC caters for all levels of rowing and members have won local events in York, Bradford, Durham and Nottingham. Winter is the time trial season, with the regatta season (side by side racing) beginning in April.

Rowing is popularly perceived as a sport for the élite, largely because of the Boat Race, with Oxford and Cambridge competing on the Thames. But it is not only for top people at top universities and LRC is working hard to demolish the stereotype. In the words of Julian Pearce, LRC Development Officer: “Breaking down this preconception is a communications challenge for the sport and one that the governing body, British Rowing, is coming to terms with. At a club level, Leeds RC caters for all age groups, sexes and social backgrounds, whilst offering excellent value for money compared to other sports. It is this open and welcoming policy that has been the key to the Club’s achievements.”

As she searches for answers about who the man she married really was she finds his death surrounded by allegations of drug smuggling, child trafficking and murder. Unsure of what is true and who she can trust, Rachel has no idea of the danger her husband's hidden life has put her in………… Scar Tissue is available both on kindle and in hardcopy from amazon. It is also available from the charity Dalit Freedom Network with all profit from sales here going to the work of the charity www.dfn.org.uk/news/ archive/373-scar-tissue-published.

MORFITT SHAW: RIGHT TIME TO SELL Autumn 2013 was the busiest property season for many years, with volumes returning to the long term average. Early indications are that this trend is continuing into 2014. Prices remain stable in Leeds, but transaction levels have continued to grow. Stock availability has now become a real issue. According to Rightmove’s House Index, the number of properties for sale in the UK fell to the lowest level in seven years this month. So, now is an excellent time to request a valuation and start the sales process. Local property experts Morfitt Shaw offer valuations up to 7pm every evening as well as weekends. They even offer a free ‘house doctor’ service, so you know exactly what you need to do to make your property sell quickly. Typically, a property can be fully on the market within a day.

The lettings market has remained solid, with areas around Street Lane and Chapel Allerton especially popular. Many more BTL investors are actively expanding their portfolios, and sales of apartments have increased as a consequence. Tenant demand is strong, and Morfitt Shaw have a large database of eager tenants looking for the right property, so if yours hasn’t been let yet, why not give them a call, and stop those rent free voids.
