Down On The Farm with B Whiteley

Advertorial

Q&A with Andrew Gullett, head of wills and probate, Pudsey Legal Andrew is a qualified solicitor with over 14 years’ experience. He has a particular interest in acting for clients who are suffering from forms of dementia.

Here he answers common questions asked on the sensitive subject of sorting out the affairs of someone who has died.

Q. What is the role of an executor in a will?

A. The executor is a person named in a will with the power to administer the estate of a person who has died. The executor holds the assets of the deceased until they’re distributed to the beneficiaries named in the will. Their primary duty is to ensure the wishes of the person who has died are carried out according to the terms of their will.

Q. Do you always need to obtain probate and what is it?

A. Not if the estate is small (normally under £15,000) and/or all assets in the estate are jointly owned. The Grant of Probate is a court document validating the will and the appointment of the executor. It’s this document that’s needed to close bank accounts and transfer assets, and can be obtained in as little as 3 weeks.

Q. Do I need to use a solicitor to obtain the Grant of Probate?

A. No, but you’ll pay a higher fee to the Probate Registry and it’ll be more time-consuming. You’ll need to visit the Probate Registry in Leeds too. Be cautious of doing it yourself and getting it wrong – I’m always looking for value for money but doing things yourself can prove to be a false economy.

Q. What happens if there isn’t a will and would I still need a Grant of Probate?

A. The estate will be divided according to the rules set out by the Government. You’ll need to obtain Letters of Administration from the Probate Registry.

Q. Doesn’t it cost a fortune to use a solicitor?

A. Many solicitors charge a percentage fee of the estate value. At Pudsey Legal we’ll provide you with a fixed fee quote at the outset, so you know exactly what it’s going to cost. Our charges for probate start from £299 plus VAT and disbursements.

Hello and welcome to this month’s edition of Covered.

WHOOPS! Apologies to readers who trawled through last month’s Covered looking for Sid the Snake and couldn’t find him. The slippery little devil slithered right out of the magazine last month so couldn’t be found anywhere. All who entered last month will be entered into this month’s draw and we’re rolling over the prize money so this month’s prize is £200!

We have another great reader competition this month. If you’re fond of food then we’ve got a chance for you to win a meal for two at Audley Clevedon in Ben Rhydding – see P15. We popped along there recently and can definitely recommend it to readers.

On the subject of food, we’re looking for nominations for places you think we should visit as we launch our monthly ‘Real Review’ see P14 for details.

I’ve started to see adverts for the return of X-Factor to our screens.

The one thing that signals for me is that I need to start planning for Christmas! We’ll kick things off next month with the first of our Countdown to Christmas features. If you have a community event or fundraiser planned for the festive season, let us know now and we’ll ensure you get plenty of free and favourable publicity. If your business is gearing up for Christmas then please get in touch, we are offering a limited amount of free supportive editorial space for advertisers in the year’s final editions, so book your space nice and early.

Editorial and advertising deadline for the next edition is 01/09/13.

Until next month,

Chris Barnham

B Whiteley Farmshop If there’s one place in our area which offers ideal growing conditions, it’s the Tong Cockersdale Valley. This green and fertile land has seen a market garden as far back as the early 1900’s. Now it’s home to B Whiteley Farmshop and Nursery, who are situated on Houghside Road in Pudsey, and grow a range of plants, trees, fruit and vegetables.

In true farming style, it’s a family run business operated now by Bryn Whiteley and his wife Vicky, and the land has been owned by the family since the 1960’s. Bryn grew up working the farm, when it mainly produced rhubarb and brassicas, before going to horticultural college, which lead to experience of landscaping.

Returning to the farm, the family focused on promoting the nursery side of the business whilst raising a young family. Demand for fruit and vegetables grew though as people began to favour locally grown produce over the

poorer quality and taste which the supermarkets had to offer, and now Whiteley’s is sustained by equal sales of plants and fruit and veg’.

The variety of plants and trees produced here is extensive and ranges from ornamental trees, hedging and perennials through to a vast selection of herbs and edible plants. And, as you might expect, you can also buy your own fruit trees and veg’ plug plants, even seeds, if you fancy a go at growing your own. Equally impressive is the plethora

of vegetables grown on site. Vicky enthusiastically talks me through them all “…9 varieties of potato, 6 varieties of squash, 5 types of courgette, 4 types of beetroot…” The list goes on and on. I never realised there was any more than 2 types of beetroot and the visit to Whiteley’s has left me feeling a little ignorant, but also keen to learn more.

The great thing about the couple is that they’re keen to provide more information and it becomes quickly apparent that these people actually know what they’re talking about.

Calling it a ‘farmshop’ doesn’t really cover it; these people are specialists, and they’re really passionate and proud about what they do. Keen also to share their knowledge, they’re happy for children to visit and discover where their food comes from and even pick their own pumpkin for Halloween or tree for Christmas from the fields. They also work with schools and have recently had some of their chicks hatched at nearby Raynville School.

And all of their hard work seems to be paying of; These winners of the Yorkshire Post ‘Taste Awards’ also attend farmer’s markets in Horsforth, Headingley and Roundhay and well as selling wholesale and to local shops and restaurants, including 114 The Arch, Salts’ Catering and The Local Pantry. As if that wasn’t enough, they also keep their own ducks and hens,

Re vie w Regular readers will know that Covered reports things as we find them – honestly and without hyperbole - our monthly ‘Real Review’ is penned with the same ethos.

I emphasise the point ‘real’ as (believe it or not!) many reviews featured in magazines or newspapers are really paid-for adverts. The Editor bobs along, wines and dines gratis and then regardless of the experience, reports back that it was ‘Five Star!’ If you happen across a place that has won several awards, or ‘Restaurant of the Year’ then you might find that it’s more a case of ‘Advertiser of the Year’. With that in mind, all Covered reviews will be a genuine opinion based on my experience that day.

Speriamo meglio la prossima volta Literally translated as ‘hopefully better next time’ - my first planned visit was to an Italian eaterie on New Road Side, Horsforth. I found it to be so lacking in every department that I’ve declined to review it, not wanting to kick things off on such a negative vibe. I’ll revisit at some point with fingers firmly crossed that it’s improved... a lot.

The Devonshire Brassiere & Bar Like many of you, I head for the countryside when I can and nowhere is more glorious in summer than Bolton Abbey.

History, scenery, water – what more could one ask for? The day my partner and I went, it was heaving with people so we were worried that we wouldn’t get a seat at The Devonshire Brassiere & Bar - just a couple of minutes away from the Abbey’s car park. On arrival we immediately snaffled a table outside. Good quality tables (no wobbles!), and with a magnificent view over the estate. It took a while for our servers to arrive – we took note that some staff were rather young and perhaps lacked the training that some of the older staff had clearly received. Not too much of an issue, given the setting and the weather at that time but it might have been an issue were we waiting in different circumstances.

Given the heat we ordered a couple of Cokes before ordering (£2.74ea). The menu wasn’t vast and we considered the mains more suitable for the usual Yorkshire climate, rather than the great day we had. Lishmans Cumberland Sausage, Mashed Potatoes & Onion Jus (£13.95) or Char Grilled Rib eye Steak, Fat Chips, Field Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes, Watercress, Peppercorn Sauce (£23.95) for example, would, regardless of the quality of the ingredients or skills of the chef, have been unimaginable on such a warm day.

Looking for a light lunch and unconventional as usual, we opted for two starters each, rather than order a main. We we’re glad we did! We both chose Bacon, Black Pudding & Soft-Boiled Egg Salad with Wholegrain Mustard Dressing (£6.75). The dish arrived swiftly, on a piece of slate, as is

What we had:

2 cokes 2 x Bacon & Black Pudding Salad 1 x Chicken Liver Parfait 1 x Sweet Pepper 1 x Green Beans Total: £37.90 + Optional 12% service charge of £4.74

the vogue these days. I can’t compliment it enough and have cooked it myself at home since, swapping the bacon for pancetta. Well prepared, well presented and thoroughly enjoyed by both of us. The black pud was particularly moist and flavoursome.

My second course was Chicken Liver Parfait, Wholegrain Mustard, Red Onion Marmalade & Melba Toast (£6.95). The generous portion of parfait was smooth, delicate in flavour and complemented well by the red onion marmalade. I found the melba toast to be a little thin, brittle and dry. We had several slices of a good quality Petit Parisian (or similar) on the table though, which made a far better partner for the parfait.

My partner opted for Roasted Sweet Pepper with Aubergine Puree, Marinated Mozzarella and a Sunblushed Tomato & Olive Dressing (£6.25). The aubergine puree got a little lost on the plate but otherwise, the quality of the ingredients held it all together nicely. A side of green beans (£2.95) didn’t really bring much to the party but that was personal taste, opposed to a poor quality side dish.

We did bob inside to use the facilities and there was nothing about the interior that would put us off returning in less clement weather. Although the menu wasn’t wildly adventurous there was something on there to suit most tastes and for pudding lovers, there was a good selection of desserts, Strawberry & Creme Brulée, Strawberry Compot & Shortbread (£5.95) being the star.

Cheese boards, dessert wines and a good selection of beverages were also available so if you wanted to enjoy more than just a quick lunchtime bite you’d have plenty of options. All in all this was an entirely pleasant visit with reasonably priced, well prepared and presented food in the most delightful of settings. We’d definitely return.

Local Food

Fine dining in Ben Rhydding Audley Clevedon enjoys a spectacular position high above the Wharfe Valley. Its residents and leisure club members are well aware of the delights of its restaurant, but too many others are not. The new team of General Manager David Kanarens and Marketing Manager Richard Fox are keen to change all that. Now is an excellent time to sample the food, as new Chef Stuart Dixon has just launched his mouth-watering summer menu. So whether you want an al fresco light lunch or a dinner – maybe accompanied by excellent wine from Berry Brothers and Rudd – in beautiful surroundings, check it out.

Stuart trained in Leeds and then worked for five years at Queen’s Hotel. Two years each spent training under award-winning chefs Paul Heathcote and Gary Rhodes honed his talent, which he then exercised as he worked his way to Head Chef in quality West Yorkshire restaurants. Notable among these was the Park at Walton, Wakefield, where he was awarded an AA rosette within six months, and the Fleece in Addingham. At Clevedon, he makes maximum use of fresh, local, seasonal produce and the results speak for themselves.

16 Property Matters

PEACE OF MIND FOR LANDLORDS

This will protect your money – and safeguard your concerns.

And you can be assured of the highest customer service.

In the short time it takes you to read this month´s column, the chances are that someone, somewhere in the Wharfe Valley is choosing their new home to rent.

At the moment anyone can set up in business as a letting agent – as many tenants and landlords have found out to their cost. It's been a long-standing anomaly that letting agents, who routinely handle large sums of money, are not regulated in the same way as their estate agent counterparts who do not handle money at all.

In common with our European neighbours – for whom letting has been a way of life for generations – renting has never been more popular.

The private rental sector is growing rapidly - there are now 3.84m households privately renting in England, compared with 1.9m in 2001. And the figure is increasing.

Whether it is because of the flexibility it offers, or because people are still finding it difficult to buy or sell their home, the market has never been more buoyant.

But thereby hangs a warning. Neither has it been so dangerous and open to rogue operators with whom tenants and landlords alike trust their money.

For ultimate peace of mind, only work with those agents who have met the strict standards needed to become members of ARLA (the Association of Residential Letting Agents) and have signed up to the SAFEagent kitemark scheme.

Many reputable and accredited agents now want the law to go further - deterring some operators from providing unacceptable services and engaging in unlawful practices, behaviour which tarnishes the sector as a whole.

Many reputable agents have voluntarily joined industry accreditation schemes, giving clients peace of mind that their money is safeguarded. But as many as 40 per cent of agents have not.

Nobody books a holiday with a travel agent who is not properly accredited and registered – but, as ever-increasing numbers of tenants are finding to their cost, this isn’t always the case in the rental market where the stakes are far higher.

editor’s note Thanks to Paul Mitchell, Branch Manager, Linley & Simpson. Station Road, Horsforth.

We urgently require...

2, 3 and 4 bed houses £700 to £1000 pcm.

Whether you’re an experienced landlord, new to lettings or looking to buy an investment property, we can offer a variety of services to help make letting easy.

Don’t just take our word for it, see what some of our current landlords are saying…

“We value the fact that they have a very acute understanding of the demands of the letting market in each of the areas in which they operate”

“Linley and Simpson epitomise professionalism.

I have always found them to be extremely helpful and polite” Mr G, Wakefield

TIMBER If you’ve the patience to strip and sand floorboards then you can apply many finishes – varnish, stain, paint, wax, even limewash. A cheaper alternative is laminate, which is versatile, easy to fit and comes in many finishes. Because laminate has a melamine resin layer it is deals with moisture better and is suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms, you can even install it in the cellar if you have one.

RUBBER Cool and stylish, rubber flooring is great in bathrooms.

This flooring comes in tiles or sheets and can be solid coloured, patterned, smooth or studded.

One of the best wearing floor finishes available, rubber is still soft underfoot but it’s vulcanised finish ensures that it is virtually impossible to wear through.

BAMBOO If you’ve got the environment in mind then Bamboo could be for you. It’s rapid growth ensures that the eco-impact is not as telling as real wood, bamboo is actually a grass. It can be harvested every 3-5 years, unlike wood, which takes 15 – 25 years. It’s exceptionally hard wearing and comes in many different styles to compliment most interiors.

If you’ve got the environment in mind then Bamboo could be for you.

CONCRETE Not ideal for the living room as it’s cold and hard but perfect for high-traffic areas such as the hallway and even the bathroom. Decorative concrete finishes have been used in commercial buildings for years.

The concrete can be polished, painted or finished with a design of your choice – ideal for those wanting to express some individuality.

Fashion, Hair And Beauty

SUMMER C Forgotten your brolly?

If so, it’s likely your hair is going to look a frizzled mess by the end of the day, what with the inconsistent Yorkshire climate.

Is it going to be baking hot and therefore you want it scraped back off your face or are you expecting colder weather where you’ll get away a more glamorous style?

One thing’s for sure – you’ll find healthy hair easier to cope with – look after your hair and scalp and you’ll find that, whatever the weather, you’ll still be able to pull off a fab ‘do’!

Here are Covered’s 5 top tips for summer hair and scalp care.

1 I’m sure most of you do but for those that don’t – wash your hair every day!! It’s the best way to keep hair and scalp healthy. Think about the dirt of the day that you wash from your hands and face, the same dirt is engrained on your hair and scalp. Your scalp perspires too, and produces oils so keep it clean.

Fashion, Hair And Beauty

CARE FOR SCALP & HAIR 2 Eat well. A healthy diet won’t do your hair any harm whatsoever. Keep your locks strong and shiny by getting plenty of Omega 3 in your diet. Sardines, salmon, walnuts, beans and wild rice are all good sources. If you’re not a whiz in the kitchen then there are plenty of supplements on the shelves.

3 Protect your hair, especially if you’re planning on taking a dip in the pool or the sea. Use conditioner to slick back your hair – conditioner provides a barrier to chlorine, salt water and sunlight. If you do get caught out in the rain let your hair dry naturally, simply scrape back and let nature take its course. Too much blow-drying won’t do your hair or scalp any favours.

4 Go easy on the products.

Sprays, gels and mousses are chemical based in general. Ingredients such as ethanol and alcohol can be damaging to hair and scalp, especially in strong sunlight. If you need to use a product to style then look for one containing natural ingredients, there are more and more on the shelves as consumers look for more environmentally friendly lines.

5 Go au-naturel! The majority of permanent colour processes use hydrogen peroxide to develop colour. If you have dark hair which you’re trying to lighten then the formula will be stronger and may cause damage, particularly if you’re styling, using products or blowdrying often. Frequent dyeing may cause a dry, itchy scalp too. Once hair has been severely damaged there’s no going back – you can only minimise the appearance of the damage.

As always, the best advice will come from your local independent salon.

Vintage Weddings There are vintage clothes at Wedding Fairs and wedding dresses at Vintage Fairs. The two were brought together for the very first time in a Vintage Wedding Fair in Harrogate on Valentine’s Day, 2010. It was a runaway success 28 exhibitors and 650 visitors on the day.

Beautiful shoes, hats and accessories – all these with price tickets around £10 to £30.

Why vintage?

The attractions of vintage clothes in general and wedding clothes in particular are not hard to see.

First, the individual look. No two vintage-themed weddings are going to look alike, so slim are the chances of identical dresses turning up. Then there are considerations of cost and quality. These clothes and accessories have price tickets mostly in two or maybe three figures, unlike their modern equivalents. The dresses are so beautifully made, in exquisite fabrics. There is also the “green” aspect.

Recycling is good. Allied to all that is the romantic aura of clothes and accessories with a history. Who wore them and when?

VW Beetles are popular for the getting the bride to the church and Camper Vans for honeymoons.

The look

As with all vintage clothes, the wearer’s body shape is crucial. Some periods fit one person better than others and it is important to take advice from specialist dealers. In the 1940s and 1950s, food shortages and rationing meant that people were generally a lot thinner. The “flapper” look – straight up and down back and front – of the 20s and 30s is altogether kinder, certainly for the guests. For the total look, you need a specialist hair stylist and make-up artist. Flowers need to be in keeping with the period as well. For the reception, you could go for 1950s food on vintage tableware. For later, the photos in sepia tones in traditional albums. All this and more should be found under the one roof at vintage wedding fairs.

The next Vintage Wedding Fair in Harrogate is on 22 September from 11 until 4 at Old Swan Hotel, Swan Road and is an excellent opportunity to connect with specialist vintage clothing dealers, make-up artists, transport specialists, caterers, florists, stationers and musicians.

Too Busy To Exercise?

How many times do you hear “I am too busy to exercise”? Recent research indicates that undertaking exercise in small chunks is just as beneficial as doing an hour flat out. So if your life is busy consider breaking your exercise up into 10 minute slots.

10 Minutes in the Morning Go for a brisk walk especially in the lovely summer sunshine. Try and get slightly out of breath and if you feel energetic give yourself a goal like walking faster from one tree to another or one house to another.

10 Minutes at Lunchtime If you work from home go up and down the steps several times until you get out of breath. Put some music on and do this to a tune that motivates you.

Follow this with some Squats to work your bottom and thighs.

10 Minutes in the Evening Brisk walk around the block or get off the bus/train a stop earlier and walk home. Follow this with some Press Ups to work your chest and back of arms. On your hands and knees, arms wide and under elbows, lower to the floor and return. Knees further away from your hands makes it harder.

No excuses now!

10 Tips a Gym When Choosing

According to experts, those who join gyms at the end of summer are much more likely to make it part of a regular routine.

There are plenty of gyms to choose from in North/North West Leeds, so here are our top ten tips to help you choose.

1

Try Before you Buy

Many gyms will offer day passes ‘free’ in return for your contact details. Alternatively see if they offer a ‘pay as you go’ rate for the gym or if you can pay to sample a fitness class.

2

Right Package

Think carefully about the facilities you will use.

Is it worth paying a premium for a swimming pool or is it better to pay separately to swim elsewhere?

If you take part in classes is it cheaper to get a membership than pay each week?

3

Couples membership

If joining at the same time as a friend, ask about couples membership as these often no longer just apply to those in a relationship. Gyms know that if you exercise with a partner you’re more likely to keep coming, meaning good business for them and a better chance of you achieving your goals.

4

Convenient Location & Parking

Think when you are likely to use the gym. Is it close to your home or easy to get to on the way back from work? Make sure there’s plenty of parking if you intend on coming at peak times.

5

Exercise Classes

Check to see when classes are on. Ask to have a look at the area used for classes, how many people take part per class and how easy it is to book on.

6

Other Customers

Pick a gym in which you feel comfortable. You won’t want to exercise if you feel you’re the odd one out, so when choosing have a look at the other customers and ask yourself if they are people like you.

7

Cancellation Fees and Policy

Check on the minimum cancellation period.

Some gyms require 6 months or more notice of cancellation, even on rolling monthly contracts, which might sound ok but can prove difficult when that house or job move comes through in the future.

Calling All Runners!

How Do You Run? Running may seem like the most natural fitness challenge you can do, after all we all learnt to do it soon after toddling. You just set off and go! However pick up any running magazine or glance at a running forum and you will find pages of advice on technique, running style and footwear. Poor postures, incorrect training and past injuries can all affect how we run leading to inefficiency and a risk of injury.

So how do you know how you run? Physiofit’s experienced sports physiotherapists can tell you.

Recently expanded into new premises at Walnut Tree Physiotherapy Centre in Horsforth, their facilities now include a fitness room with a treadmill where they use slow motion footage to analyse your running. This is followed up with specific tests of flexibility, strength and stability, and then tailor a programme to address any problems identified.

Suitable for newbie runners, those wanting to improve their times, and those returning from injury a running assessment can help you achieve your running goals.

8

Quality of Equipment

Does it look as if the facility continuing to invest in new equipment and ensuring that existing fitness equipment is well maintained? Ask what new pieces of equipment there are and look to see if there are any machines out of order.

9

Fitness Instructors and Programmes

Ask what specialist fitness instructor support is inclusive to the membership and what has to be paid for separately.

10

Fitness Challenges

Finally, you plan on going for a while so what fitness challenges are up and around the gym to keep people like you motivated?

32 Animal Matters

Here’s Doug The Pug! Owners Andy and Rachel told us: “Doug is 18 months old, he loves bananas, ice lollies and cheese.

He must have his breakfast at 5am or he’ll sit on your head as a reminder!

His favourite hobby is watching the news on TV until an animal appears and he’ll try to box it off the screen with his paws!

Doug

Angie Mills of Rodley sent us this snap of Sox, telling us “He’s nearly a year old now, he likes fish for tea and gets very vocal at teatime. He loves playing with his toys, his favourite is a Mouse, he also likes sitting on the windowsill watching the world go by & hoping to catch a glimpse of the female cat from next door that’s he’s taken a liking to!

Billy

This athletic fella is 3 year old Billy the Boxer, sent in by Maureen & Dave from Ilkley. “He’s always bounding around” Maureen told us. “He loves walks on the moor where he’s find of sniffing out other dogs to play with. Some play, some run!”. His favourite treat is apparently a bubble bath followed by a tipple of Black Sheep Beer and a well deserved snooze in front of the log-burner.

If you think your four legged or feathered friend should be our Pick of the Paws next month, send a snap along with a short description to: info@covered-magazine.net or post to the usual address.

The Wysoczanski Academy School of Performance was among several acts on the day.

Parkside School Fair Passers-by might easily mistake Calverley Parkside School’s annual summer fair as being the one for the whole village. Which, in a way, it was on 13 July – with dozens of stands, attractions and sideshows drawn from the wider community rather than from within the school itself.

Peter Hoskins was offering mead, elderflower cordial, honeys and jams. All are from his Calverley allotment and beehives - apart from two of the honeys in the selection box. They were imported from Rodley and Kirkstall.

Matt Lewis opening the event. Matt, from Horsforth, already has an illustrious career on film, screen and stage and is best known for playing Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter series of films.

Airport Parking Remains a Fiasco It’s over eighteen months since Covered interviewed Cllr Barry Anderson about his constituents’ allegations that LBA was deliberately corralling them into paying areas by moving the free pick up zone – and by failing to sign it properly. In November 2011 we reported that Leeds City Council had not been aware the changes at the time they licensed LBA to act on their behalf and were keeping the matter under review.

Facing LBA on a Friday lunchtime early in June – the never ending game of cat and mouse between travellers and law enforcement officers can only get worse now that the holiday season is upon us.

These photographs were taken last month. Things can only get worse now that we are entering the second summer holiday season since LCC’s “review” was undertaken. A drive along the airport road is frequently peppered with cars and pedestrians playing a game of cat and mouse with double yellow lines, traffic cones, LBA’s own traffic wardens and the local police. If you were anywhere else you’d be forgiven for mistaking them for streetwalkers, ticket touts, pimps or drug dealers.

We hope to be able to report LBA’s and LCC’s responses in the next issue. In the meantime, we’d like to hear of any readers’ experiences.

development when there are areas across the city that could be regenerated and supply much needed housing.

As regular readers of this column will know, planning is one of my key interests in Parliament and I am passionate about protecting green spaces in our community for future generations. In June I encouraged readers to contribute to the Leeds City Council public consultation on The Site Allocations Plan which closed on 29th July.

I know from the hundreds of emails I received from constituents that many local residents did submit their own responses and I cannot stress just how important it is for us all to take advantage of having our voices heard in this process.

This is not a simplistic NIMBY view, as these communities have taken their full share of development over the years. The result has been huge congestion on roads which have seen little improvement and investment over the last 100 years. It has increased demand for school places and medical facilities. In my last Covered article I looked at this very issue; there is already a consultation on expanding schools in Guiseley and Farsley and we are likely to see this issue raise its head in other communities in the future.

In my response to the consultation I highlighted my own grave concerns that the Housing targets for the period remain far too high. As a city we were rightly critical that the RSS target was doubled as it was clear that being able to build so many houses was unlikely and would threaten much of our greenfield sites as has been proven. To, in effect, continue at such a level the Council has to prove it has sites to meet demand and that is now putting some of our greenbelt sites in danger.

Over the past 10 or 20 years, every part of my constituency has been affected by mass over development. It is totally unacceptable that the Council are looking at our greenbelt for further

The free pick up and drop off area was entirely empty that lunchtime – unmarked as such, hardly anyone knows it’s there.

We do need to build new homes but there must surely be a better way than building on our precious Greenbelt. We are after all supposed to be a green city.

It is always a humbling experience to meet constituents who are volunteering their own time to help others and I was therefore delighted to meet Brian Firth at my office in July. Brian recently launched a new Global First Aid Society, teaching members of the public life-saving skills. Brian is passionate about teaching people about first aid and I strongly encourage readers to brush up on their lifesaving skills, you never know when you might need them.

BACK TO SCHOOL, PHEW! The collective relief of parents all over the city is apparent - it’s nearly time to send the kids back to school! We all forget something though so take a look at our quick guide to make sure you are ready for the big day.

Make sure you know what time the kids are supposed to be there on day one! Give yourself plenty of time to get there, if you have to drive to school you’ll find the roads far busier in the first week of term. If you can, walk or cycle - you won’t have to cope with the frustration of finding a place to park.

Ensure you’ve informed school of any medical or dietary needs for the next term.

Make sure pencil cases have been replenished, lunchboxes are intact and backpacks/bags are good for another term.

Plan lunches. If your child is taking a packed lunch, you’ll find it much easier to provide a balanced diet if you plan ahead.

Pepper Stars - Maia’s Farsley U14 Girls Spaces for Next Season latest album Tom Clegg from Burley in Wharfedale is the writing force behind the Huddersfield four-piece acoustic band Maia – the self proclaimed inventors of sci-fi folk. He wrote the words and music for all fourteen tracks on Pepper Stars, their second and latest album released in November.

The extracts of performance reviews posted on the band’s website make good descriptions of their latest offering; “youthful, spirited, richly atmospheric and intelligently off-centre alt.folk pop” (Time Out), “Their songs deny genre boundaries” (Supajam), “Eclectic with surprising twists and turns throughout” (Acoustic Magazine). Eclectic is spot on. Other reviews describe them as “a bit of Beirut, some Deliverance-style banjo, a Mariachi band, some falsetto harmonies, Durangone-folk, like a harder brasher Mumford & Sons fused with Wild Beasts.”

Curious, that. All reviewers attended similar performances but none heard quite the same thing.

Nor me. For what it’s worth, I heard a bit of George Harrison’s off-centre sitar stuff and Johnny Cash’s Tex-Mex country. If you can’t believe any or all of us then do visit maiatheband.com and listen for yourself. As for the lyrics? Futile trying to guess exactly what some mean, but often very witty. In a tribute to Jupiter’s fifth moon (track 5); Dear Io …

Bramley Carnival a Great Success Bramley Carnival, on 21 July and towards the end of the recent heat wave, benefited from fine weather rather than the preceding heat which some were finding oppressive. Visitors included the new Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Tom Murray. Cllr Murray’s chosen charity during his year in office is LOFFTY (Leeds Offers Fun for the Young).

There was certainly no shortage of youngsters having fun on the day. One of the many grownups also having fun was singer Dene Michael from the 1980s supergroup Black Lace, pictured singing the groups’s 1984 hit Do the Conga (re-recorded by Dene in 2011).

Cancer Charity Appeals for Key Volunteers Marie Curie Cancer Care is appealing for someone in the local LS16 community to volunteer to take on key roles within a new fundraising committee that will meet on a monthly basis. The roles that the charity is specifically looking for are a Community Ambassador, Event Coordinator and Event Helpers.

Community ambassadors would need to give up a few evenings every other month to go into schools, associations such as rotary clubs and churches to speak about the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care and its team of dedicated nurses does and how people can access this care.

An Event Coordinator would be responsible for planning out the group’s event activities, generating ideas from the group and delegating out actions such as booking venues and sourcing raffle prizes.

Event helpers would be needed to help at the group’s events every couple of months – with duties such as welcoming guests, helping serve refreshments and preparing rooms for events.

Hannah Saxon Community Fundraiser told Covered: “We need people with a broad range of skills to help us with our local fundraising activities, from people with the gift of the gab right through to organisers who can come up with event ideas. We also need as many helpers as possible, so if you think you’ve got a couple of hours a month that you’d be able to give to a worthwhile cause please get in touch.”

All money raised by the group is to provide high quality nursing care to terminally ill patients, totally free, in the local area.

If you think you have a few hours spare every few weeks and would like to get involved with the fundraising group, please contact Hannah Saxon Community Fundraiser for West Yorkshire on 01274 386190 or email hannah.saxon@mariecurie.org.uk
