11. Editors words Wow! how hot has it been lately. Hope everyone has been enjoying the sunshine. Well its August and we are over half way through the year already, schools officially out and lots of events on this summer like the Bristol international Balloon Fiesta and things to do in your local community. Just get out in your local community and enjoy all the things going on in your area and have fun in the sunshine. One of the topics in some areas are the shear amount of flies about a the moment they seem to have been busy multiplying exponentially especially in the Avonmouth area. Feels like we just have to put up with it as local councils have no interest in the problem. Have you got a remedy if so let us know at Direct Local. So finally what do we all think of Boris as our new Prime Minister then? Will he do the job and take us in to Brexit or will he just be another Prime minister that offers everything and gives us nothing but beating around the bush. personally i think we will never leave the EU and another referendum is on the cards but please tell us your thought on this as we love to get your points of view on this subject.

Your Garden In August
After the heat of July, the weather usually continues to be very nice giving us time to simply enjoy our gardens and all the hard work we’ve put into them. Don’t worry too much about doing endless jobs – just remember to keep everything watered. If you are going away, you may need to enlist the help of friends and family to look after the garden. If you are at home and feeling energetic, there are still a few gardening tasks for August that will keep your gardens going longer, as well as opportunities to get a head start on next year’s garden plans.
Take herb cutting
August is the ideal month to take cuttings woody herbs such as Rosemary and Lavender. To do this, simply take new growth that hasn’t flowered this year cut a piece 10cm long just below a leaf joint, remove the lower leaves and dip the end in a rooting hormone before planting in a gritty compost. If you have lavender in the garden, now is also the ideal time to give it a trim. This will encourage new bushy growth in the spring and will prevent it becoming bare and woody.
Pruning and tidying
Most long flowering perennials will finish flowering this month so cut them down to the ground. Don’t forget about them though – continue to water them, as this will encourage a second flush of foliage and generally prevent the garden looking frazzled and messy. Although weeds will be growing more slowly now than in the spring it’s a good idea to continue to hoe the soil to keep them down.

Try to do this in warm, dry conditions to ensure weed seedlings you disturb are left on the surface to dehydrate and die.

VODAFONE TO OFFER UNLIMITED DATA AND BRING 5G TO MORE PLACES THAN ANY OTHER NETWORK
With 5G and Vodafone Unlimited, a user can have gaming on the go, high definition streaming on the sofa, uploading, downloading, vlogging, blogging, virtual reality, augmented reality, connected cars, cows and coffee machines - all with fast connectivity, low lag and no worries about your data limit.
Vodafone launched its 5G network and will become the first company to offer unlimited data on both 5G and 4G with the launch of Vodafone Unlimited on the 10 July 2019. Vodafone will not charge a price premium for access to its 5G network and all unlimited SIMs are 5G ready.
The switch-on was marked with the world’s first demonstration of the power of 5G to transmit touch using haptic technology. Two players from Wasps rugby team were able to run a training session despite being more than 100 miles apart.
The new unlimited data plans also extend to the new Vodafone Together service, which combines mobile and broadband in one bill. Vodafone also becomes the first UK provider to offer customers 5G roaming in four European countries in some of the most popular tourist and business locations over the summer, at no additional cost. Vodafone UK Chief Executive Officer Nick Jeffery said: “5G will transform the way we live and work. Our customers are streaming over 50% more content today than they did last year, and with 5G the demand for data is only set to increase. That is why we want to remove the limits on data, so that customers can unlock the full potential of 5G, and we can really propel the UK into the digital age. By offering unlimited plans to our consumer and business customers, we will revolutionise the market. We will give customers all the data they need, when and where they want it.”
The impact of a rugby tackle made by Will Rowlands at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry was transferred via 5G to teammate Juan de Jongh on stage in London. Juan, in a specially developed haptic Teslasuit, was able to feel the force of the tackle in real- time thanks to Vodafone’s high speed and super low latency 5G. Vodafone recently announced a new sponsorship and technology deal with Wasps rugby and netball teams. Formula 1 Five-Time World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, officially opened Vodafone’s new 5G service. As a British sporting icon, tech fan, gaming enthusiast, global roamer and someone synonymous with speed, Lewis was the natural choice to switch on the Vodafone 5G network. He will act as a 5G ambassador for Vodafone, helping to bring to life the potential of 5G to be a real game-changer.
Vodafone is switching on its 5G network and bringing 5G to more places than any other network. 5G live in seven UK cities; 27 cities in total across Europe. 5G roaming in four countries over the summer. Unlimited mobile data plans from £23. No premium for 5G. Unlimited combined mobile and broadband plans with Vodafone Together. World first demonstration of the power of 5G to transmit touch using haptic technology. Formula 1 Five-Time World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, officially opened Vodafone’s new 5G service. 5G smartphones and 5G wireless router available to buy now.

Sit back & relax this August as we have all the action, comedy, romance and Tarantino you need. With the summer sun continuing to swelter, running to your nearest air-conditioned Cineworld is a logical way to spend your time. Luckily, there’s plenty of silver screen hits set to debut in August – so let’s get into it! Kicking us off on August 1st is Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham in the first ever Fast & Furious spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw. Going up against Idris Elba’s big bad super-soldier, the two will need to put aside their differences to take down this seemingly unstoppable common enemy. A day later sees more familiar faces return via The Angry Birds Movie 2, with Red, Chuck and Bomb back for another adventure where they are forced to go head-to-head with a rival island of Eagles. Fast forward to August 9th and there’s a great double bill as both The Art of Racing in the Rain and The Sun is also a Star take to the cinema. The former tells the story of a race car driver and his dog, while the latter centres on two hopeless romantics that fall swiftly in love. Then, on August 14th, Quentin Tarantino’s show biz satire Once upon a time in Hollywood arrives in cinemas, boasting an all-star cast that includes the likes of Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. A TV actor and his stunt double want to achieve mainstream success, but 1969 LA has other plans. Two days later, Good Boys is a new type of coming-of-age comedy that proves skipping school isn’t always the correct choice. And remember, as always Cineworld Yate and Direct Local Magazine are giving readers a chance to win a prize. Simply fill out the next page Word search. There’s so many great movies coming to Cineworld in August. You only need pick which to see first!

Caught by the pension tax trap?
Avoiding the charge
Those looking to cash in part, or all, of their personal pension need to check they don’t pay too much tax.
The emergency tax code is still applied, but this triggers HMRC to adjust your tax code and send an updated version to your pension provider. Once the new code has been issued, any further, larger withdrawals are taxed correctly.
Pension freedom rules allow anyone aged 55 or over to access their personal pension funds, there are complex rules on how withdrawals are taxed. Problems can occur if you take a one-off lump sum – an ‘uncrystallised fund pension lump sum withdrawal’ (UFPLS) – perhaps to reinvest or to pay off debts. This differs from using a personal pension to provide a regular income, through a draw-down plan or annuity. Your pension provider will apply an emergency tax code, which assumes you are withdrawing the UFPLS on a monthly basis, unless it has an up-to date tax code for you.
As emergency tax codes are generally only applied the first-time people access their pension funds, one option is to make your first withdrawal a nominal amount, say £100.
You may be able to claim a rebate, either through your tax return at the end of the tax year, or HMRC if you need the rebate more quickly. If you are planning to withdraw a lump sum from your pension contact Bristol & West financial services. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate tax advice. Levels and bases of taxation and tax reliefs are subject to change and their value depends on individual circumstances. Tax laws can change.
For example, if you take a UFPLS of £10,000 at the start of the tax year, HMRC may assume you will take an income of £120,000 across the year from your pension and tax you accordingly. If it is a one-off withdrawal, you are likely to pay too much tax.

Confidential waste applies to every business – not just banks, accountants and solicitors. So, what is confidential paper waste? The obvious ones in relation to customers, suppliers and staff are: * Financial information * Medical information * Payroll information & Banking details * Home addresses Less obvious bits of paper are: * Job sheets which contain any customer information * Old drafts of letters which have been scribbled on * Payment slips from credit card terminals * Customer enquiry forms / Lead forms * Contact Management or Accounting software printouts * A notebook containing handwritten notes which may include sensitive information

It’s important such paperwork is: 1. While current and in use, kept securely, not viewable by passers’ by and locked away when outside of work 2. Put in a secure locked container whilst waiting collection / destruction 3. Destroyed by a capable and authorised person who can provide you with a certification of collection and destruction.
