Dear St Leonards, St Ives, Ashley Heath & Avon Castle, A Very Happy New Year to you! Stephen, myself, Hayden and of course our beloved ‘old Nellie’ really do hope that 2017 brings you all the health and happiness that you deserve. We will continue to provide information about good local trades people, services and groups right to your doorstep. If there is anything you would like to see that is not in the magazine, or have a local club which would benefit from some extra promotion we are only to happy to help. Groups, societies and clubs are promoted at no cost to them. It is a service we offer for free. What you can do in exchange is use the advertisers inside to help keep them busy and the local economy doing well. That is the purpose of The St Leonards & St Ives Directory. If you have any local news or history we would love to hear from you too.

The prize wordsearch is always popular so we will continue to provide that as well. You never know, you could be the lucky winner this month! Mrs M Davey won a meal for two at The Three Legged Cross Inn last month. Well done to her!

Nellie looks back at 2016 with very fond memories.

She certainly kept us busy this last year. I do hope you enjoy her exploits as much as we do. It is just a bit of fun and can give ideas of places to go and things to do.

If you have any suggestions where Nellie could visit, she would love to hear from you!

What will 2017 bring? I am a firm believer that we get what we put our attention on so personally I want to have many more fun days out with the family and would even like to take Hayden to Disney for his 13th year. Nellie can’t fly so we will definitely have many English trips too.

Here’s to a fabulous New Year all round!

Very Best Wishes,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

Braeside Community Cafe News Hello Everyone, I have been requested to write a few words about our Community Café which takes place every Wednesday from 10.00 – 12 noon at Braeside Village Hall, St. Leonards.

The café has been running now for just over two and a half years and we have a lovely group of regular “clientele” who enjoy coming along for a chat and meeting up with new friends.

We cover our rent by charging £1.00 for a cup of coffee/tea and biscuits.

In addition we have a number of stalls selling books, CDs, bric-abrac, cakes and homemade dinners to be purchased and taken home for eating.

The money raised from these stalls all goes to local charities, chosen each year by those who come along to the café. Our first year raised £1,000 for the Age Concern Day Centre at the Village Hall; the second year raised £3,300 shared between the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Service and Julia’s House. This year we are raising funds for the local branch of Autism and Sailability for the disabled at Blashford Lakes.

To be able to keep running the stalls and the café we rely on the regular

attendance of our lovely locals and the kind generosity of not only those who come along but the many residents in the area who have read about us and bring along things for our stalls and unwanted gifts for us to sell.

If you would like to donate any items throughout the year please drop it off at the café or if you prefer and it is easier for you drop it off at my hope please contact me on 01202 861821.

Thank you for reading about us – I do hope you will be able to find the time to pop in and join us where you will be given a warm welcome and meet some lovely local people.

May I take this opportunity of wishing you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

With kind regards, Barbara Pilch

Money Saving Tips

Martin

LEWIS 0RQH\ 6LQV

Are you a sinner? Financially that is.

There are a host of everyday money misdemeanours that millions of people do, costing them thousands, without being aware of it. These aren’t horrors like grabbing a payday loan, but the result of simple misunderstandings, bad habits or inaction.

So having recently toured around the UK doing roadshows for the sixth series of my ITV show, I’ve collated five of the most common.

1. Saving while you’ve expensive debts Savings rates are depressingly low – the top easy-access rate is 1%. Credit card and other interest rates are depressingly high. So, £1,000 credit card debt at 18% costs it costs you £180 a year, the same amount saved in top paying savings account at 1% interest only earns you £10. If you had both, pay the debt off with your savings and you’d be £170 a year better off.

Many of you will be thinking, “but I want to keep my savings, what if the boiler packs up or the roof falls in?” However, that’s a sentimental strategy, not a logical one. Let’s carry on the £1,000 debt and £1,000 savings scenario to show you why.

– If you don’t pay the debt off with the savings and an emergency happens that cost you £1,000 to fix, you’d use all your savings and still £1,000 of credit card debt.

– If you do pay off the debt with the savings, and a £1,000 emergency happens, you’d need to pay for it on your credit card,

meaning you still have no savings and £1,000 of credit card debt.

The end result of them both is the same, yet by paying off the debt with the savings, you save in the meantime.

The only exception is if the debt is at 0%.

Then the financially savvy and disciplined can do what’s called stoozing, where you deliberately build up 0% debt only to save it and earn interest. Though with current saving rates so low, it’s not as easy as it used to be. Full help on that at www.mse.me/ stoozing 2. Not at least asking your energy firm are you on its cheapest deal Most people in the UK are on their energy firm’s standard tariff, which typically means they’re overpaying by £300 a year. I’ve talked about switching until I’m blue in the face, and, of course, the best plan is take five minutes to do a full market comparison via my www.CheapEnergyClub.com or any www.Ofgem.gov.uk approved comparison site.

Yet for some that doesn’t hit home. So, let me be plain. Even if you won’t do that, just pick up the phone and ask your current provider “Am I on your cheapest tariff?” and, if not, switch to that as there’s no change but the price!

For example, as I write (it can change daily), on EDF’s standard tariff someone with typical usage pays £1,070/year. It also has a 12-month fix at £880/year - £190/year less.

British Gas’s standard @MoneySavingExpert tariff with typical use

9 is £1,044/year, but it also runs Sainsbury Energy (i.e., it’s the same company but a different name), and its cheapest fix is £804/ year – saving £240/year. This don’t ask don’t get saving works at all the big firms, so if you 2YHUGUDIWV won’t do a comparison, at least do this.

3. Only making the minimum repayments on credit cards Credit card minimum payments are based mostly on a percentage of the balance, which only just covers the interest. So, you hardly clear any off.

A 30-year-old with £3,000 debt on a credit card at 17.9% interest, who made only typical minimum repayments, would take 27 years to clear it. By then, they’d be 57 and have paid a total cost £4,000 in interest (see my minimum repayment calc at www.mse. me/minrepay to work out how long it’ll take you).

Now you may be thinking ‘easy to say, but I can’t afford more than the minimum.’ Well, I have a solution. On £3,000 debt, the current minimum is around £70 a month. If instead of opting to pay the minimum, fix your repayment at £70. The debt will clear in five years at a total cost of £1,500 in interest, saving £2,400.

Though if you’ve debt on more than one credit card, focus all spare cash on repaying the most expensive, making only the minimums on the others. That way you get rid of the most expensive debts first.

4. Don’t cover your home’s value on buildings insurance Your house price is the wrong figure; you only need to insure the usually much lower rebuild cost – literally how much it would cost to rebuild your home should it get knocked down. This is often far less than the market value. There’s information and a calculator on this at http://abi.bcis.co.uk.

5. Saving or borrowing to pay your children’s tuition fees I’m often freaked out by parents telling me they’re saved up so their child won’t have to pay tuition fees at uni. Worse, some even extend their mortgage. My problem isn’t just that it’s actually students’, not parents’ responsibility to repay this…

All new English full-time students can get a tuition fee loan and a living loan to help pay for uni costs. You’re eligible to start repaying in the April after leaving, but only if you earn over £21,000, and you repay 9% above that. Repayments stop after 30 years.

In many ways, it acts far more like a tax than a loan, and how many would save “in case my child earns enough to be a higher rate taxpayer”?

An extreme example provides clarity.

Imagine your child goes to uni and becomes a brilliant poet, who never earns above the £21,000 threshold. They would never repay a penny. So, if you paid the fees for them, you’d throw £27,000 away.

Most of course will earn over the threshold.

However only high earners will earn enough to repay in real terms what they borrowed within the 30 years. If not, again it means pay their tuition fees and you’re paying more than they’d need to repay. For most parents if you want to help them, a better thing to prioritise is building up a mortgage deposit. For far more on this see my mse. me/dontpayupfront guide.

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Hibernation - The Deep Sleep As the cold weather creeps up on us, we’ve all wished we could hibernate for the winter.

For some species of wildlife, sleeping, or ‘hibernating’ can make all the difference to surviving the cold and icy winter months ahead.

Food, which is in abundance during the spring, summer and autumn months disappears, so entering an extended deep sleep reduces some species’ normal body functions and allows them to wake up in the spring, when food is in plentiful supply once again.

Some species which take part in the big sleep include, hedgehogs, dormice, bumblebees, ladybirds and certain species of butterflies.

Hibernation involves dropping heart rate, metabolic rate and temperature, allowing the energy they have to be used up over a long period of time.

Hibernation is a process that isn’t without risks.

A long winter can have a detrimental effect when it’s time to wake up, and there’s still no food.

Sleeping wildlife are also unaware of changes in their surroundings which can leave them vulnerable to predation and disturbance.

You can give wildlife a helping hand this winter by making sure you have undisturbed spaces in your garden which are sheltered. Log and leaf piles are great, or you could make a hibernaculum (a place wildlife can seek refuge).

If you find a hibernating animal it is best to leave it alone, as waking it up will waste their muchneeded energy.

Dprmouse Photo: DWT

Hedgehog Photo: Tom Marshall

FIVE common hibernators 1. Hedgehogs sleep between November and January. They can drop their body temperature from 35 degrees, to 10 degrees and their heart rate drops from 190 beats per minute to just 20.

2. Bats hibernate to drop their metabolic rate which means they don’t need to forage.

Hunting is very demanding on energy, and their food is scarce. They often choose underground sites with a constant cool temperature.

3. Dormice sleep in small woven nests and hibernate during the first autumn frosts.

They can let their metabolism drop by 90%, and their body temperature can drop to that of their surroundings.

4. Reptiles are cold-blooded and unable to regulate their own body temperature.

They depend on the temperature outside to become hotter or colder. Reptiles hibernate between October and March, and hide beneath vegetation, or in the roots of trees.

5. Insects don’t always ‘truly’ hibernate, but go into a dormant state instead. Most butterflies enter the dormant stage as an egg, larva, pupa or even as an adult including, peacock, brimstone, large tortoiseshell, comma and small tortoiseshell. Insects tend to hibernate anywhere, from grass margins, to bare soil, hedgerows and walls!

Heritage News

Local History of St Leonards & St Ives Despite the fact that the Parish of St. Leonards and St. Ives was not created until 1932, many relics of its lengthy past history can still be found. St. Leonards resident and historian John Hawkins has lived here since 1976, but only began his researches in 2005 when proposals for a Parish Plan were mooted at the AGM. Given the well established differences that had developed between the various parts of the parish, he sought out the reasons for the two Saints in the name.

It has to be appreciated that at various times parts of the Parish formed integral parts of either Christchurch or Ringwood. Also, prior to the county boundary changes in 1974, it was all part of Hampshire, but has since been in East Dorset. This was true even at the Norman conquest, when Cranborne Abbey owned a Rushton Farm on the Moors River, near Palmers Ford. They established a small chapel there which was dedicated to …. St. Leonard.

The place first appears on Christopher Saxton’s 1725 Southamptonshire map. 17th century records have West Moor(s) as part of St. Leonards Common, and the farm itself and another ford (under today’s incorrectly named “Palmerford” roundabout) adopted it as well. The 1760s turnpike (today’s A31) crossed the Moors River at a new stone built St. Leonards Bridge.

Late 18th century, among several others, a vast St. Leonards Plantation of pines was planted nearby, with links to the Earls of Malmesbury at Hurn Court. Late 19th century they auctioned their St. Leonards Estate, partially known then and since as Racecourse Heath (an 1844 cutting tells of three horse races there). The St. Leonards Hotel was built in 1935, and became the centre of a secret underground movement during WW2. In the 1940s the WW2 hospital was built for the Americans, and became a geriatric NHS hospital in 1950.

St. Ives is obscure, but research suggests a link with the Lyne family, who inherited an area known as Laybrook in Elizabethan times. Their family seat was near Liskeard, in the village of St. Ive (pronounced “eve”).

Earliest evidence of the local name “St. Ives” is on a 1781 Somerley Estate map, just to the south of its southern boundary (an AD45 Roman road line). This plot matches the present 40 acres of today’s village. In the original 1811 Ordnance map, the name appears alongside a building that is probably “St. Ives Cottage”, which Charles Castleman of railway fame purchased, extended to become the thatched St. Ives House, burnt down in 1874.

John is now preparing a series of articles on individual buildings, areas and topics from the Parish’s lengthy history. The archives he has provided at Ringwood’s Meeting House tell much more. He is also available to give talks to local groups on 01202 875512.

BROADVIEW

Bespoke Shading Solutions A Family Business With their roots firmly planted in Poole, Broadview is truly a pioneering local business. It all started in the back room of a hardware store in the late seventies, when David Pratt decided to start selling blinds within his already successful timber usiness in Broadstone. Whilst incredibly ambitious, David could never have imagined that this extra merchandise would one day transform into a multimillion pound business.

What’s so charming about Broadview is that it still remains a family business, even now almost 50 years down the line; with David’s sons Mark and Ian at the helm, the business continues to grow and take-on new and exciting projects.

Innovation At Its Finest When I asked ‘Mike Lingham’ (head of sales) what his favourite project to date had been, he went on to explain their recent work up in London, for the hugely successful Recording Studio.

Broadview had initially been invited to rehabilitate their roof terrace, by replacing their somewhat worn umbrellas. Only when they visited the site their creative team was unanimously struck by a different vision – something that would totally transform that space. Regularly used as an entertainment centre for guests and recording artists, Broadview created a design concept that would renovate the terrace into the

forward was very much about ‘automation’. It’s been a pretty innovative decade in terms of the progression of technology and it hasn’t bypassed the shading industry either. Supposedly in the next 5-6 years nearly all window shading will be battery powered, or in one way or another automated, as predicted

by Mike and evidently the benefits are endless, “say you’re traveling to the airport on your holidays, when suddenly you question whether or not you’d closed the shades? Soon that won’t be a problem. We’ll just pull out our smartphone and close them from wherever we are at the time” said Mike. Keep your eyes peeled, with the powers at be regularly attending training and industry relevant expos, I’m confident that Broadview will be one of the very first to stock automated shading, within budget.

Bespoke Shading Solutions Little insider information for those who might not know; the recent extension of ‘Bournemouth’s Oceanarium Café’ was created by Broadview’s talented team of designers and manufacturers. The iconic local haunt wanted to make the most of their incredible sea views, which were previously covered by towering white walls, so Broadview created a custom outdoor structure that could easily cope with the blustery seaside conditions, but didn’t take away from the view. Whilst I doubt many of us are hiding a café in our back gardens, the project is a testament to Broadview’s dedication to bespoke shading solutions. They are forever thinking outside of the box, with their focus on the individual customer and their needs.

Impeccable Customer Service Having spent a couple of hours at the head office, listening to the incoming calls and customers, it was evident that this is a company that cares. Not your average customer service by far. Despite their growing success they still offer a round the clock service, where they can make home visits to measure up projects. With a team of 9 installers in their team, projects have a quick turnaround, which means your shading dreams can come true faster and for that matter, more efficiently.

Being independent is more of a bonus than you might realise too. Without any kind of bias towards one particular product, they can offer an impartial opinion as to which brand would best suit your project.

Community News

Scouting in St Leonards & St Ives We have just got back from a day of bag packing at M&S Food in Ferndown where we collected over £340 from the very generous customers for our services. The money will be spent on replacing well used camping equipment and adding a gas Burco water heater to our outdoor gear so endless kettle boils are a thing of the past.

particular right now we also need to find individuals in the community who could volunteer their time as a gardener or handyman to help maintain the HQ. If you think that person could be you then please email or call Max on 01425 478662.

During 2016 the Cubs have been celebrating 100 years of Cub Scouting and on 16th December at exactly 19:16 they renewed their promise. In East Dorset this was held at Badbury Rings with a torchlight parade making it quite a special event.

The 2017 programme is upon us, with a few of the highlights coming early in the year. In January there is the district air rifle shooting competition then in March we have ‘Order of the Boot’ which is all night event hike at a mystery location in Dorset. At the end of March we will be miles from nowhere, off on the popular annual trip to learn navigation skills that can only be understood on Dartmoor, sleeping in a remote bunkhouse. I’m looking forward to that one already.

Scouting is rewarding for both the young people and the adult leaders and helpers so if you want to find out more about local Scouting or get involved then please get in touch. In

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Nellie has been taking a look back at 2016. With all that Christmas pud, tipples of wine, chocolates, laughter and excitement, she thought she would take a little time out to review her year, whilst deciding where to take us in 2017!

2016 has been a particularly good year for Nellie, she has excelled herself in fact and kept us all very entertained.

It started off in January 2016 when she decided that Hayden should do more exercise and she successfully got him even more off the computer.

Hayden joined the Branksome Chine Life Saving Club! Nellie took us to our first competition after Hayden had had all of 4 lessons! How exciting was that.

Nellie was so horse, she couldn’t toot her horn the following day.

Then in February I learned how to drive Nellie! It was quite an ordeal from what Nellie remembers. To me everything was back to front and nothing like my little blue Citroen. Being a big Japanese automatic girl, and not so young in years was a challenge to say the least for me. Stephen had a fixed grin and

Nellie gets kitted out ready for the summer

Debbie in the driving seat for the first time Hayden held on tight in the back, but we made it! Nellie is now more than happy for me to take her wheel.

In March Nellie was totally fascinated

by Hayden who told him the story of Nelson Mandela’s bodyguard. Hayden was privileged to be invited to meet him, by his school. The story was captivating.

In April we had a fantastic trip to Santorini with my parents. Dad at age 81 had had his second knee operation but still managed to climb all the way to the top of the live volcano! He takes a leaf out of Nellie’s book for being young in spirit… and I don’t mean the whisky! On returning from there Nellie took us to “Camping World” in Three Legged Cross to prepare for our all important English camping trip in the summer. Nellie was in her element as we kitted her out with all she needed for a relaxing summer on the beach, camping on the Devon coast.

In May Nellie took us with several friends to Wookey Hole! How cool was that. Those amazing colourful caves, stories of witches, crazy golf and film

23 shows. There is more than enough to keep you entertained all day. Nellie loved the drive there and thoroughly enjoyed herself!

In June I drove Nellie (being a fully fl edged Nellie driver) to see lizards, snakes, frogs and toads at the New Forest Reptile Centre. That was such a fun day. We had quite a laugh and it is certainly days like that, that you remember.

In July we went camping with the scouts! Challenges such as being blind folded in the forest, making tents with string, seeing who can catapult the furthest and best of all making “s’mores” (melted marshmallows between chocolate biscuits) was great fun. Nellie highly recommends scouting!

In August Nellie darted to Devon, all packed with her new equipment. The National Surf Life Saving Competition on the beach and in the sea was incredible and Hayden got a bronze!

Nellie was very proud of him as all grandparents are. After a few days of high randomity we relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the week exploring the area.

Gorgeous.

In September Nellie drove us to a boat on Poole Quay, to sail off to Brownsea Island. The Island is quite unique and

Nellie and the Morgan

Nellie enjoys view from the seafront in Devon the weather was amazing. Hayden and I had a superb day. We are so very lucky to have him. He is great company and fun to be with.

In October Nellie had an extremely busy month! It started with a Life Saving awards ceremony at Durley Chine, followed by a wedding in Wool, then a trip to Bindon Abbey Retreat with my sister and Mum, whilst Dad was fishing with his friends for the week, then off to Standen House in Sussex where Nellie met a rather smart Morgan! Nellie seems happiest when she is busy.

In November Nellie was like a whippet at the starting block as she charged to Chessington Theme Park. Well really 15 adults all over 50? Yes! And what an amazing time we had.

December was busy. Stephen’s parents and sister came to us for a very early Christmas Day as they were travelling off to a warmer climate for a couple of weeks. My parents drove all the way from Hull to spend time with us. What a wonderful time of year… and per the good old movie… ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ that Nellie gives us. I am so glad we bought her. Here’s to another year of fun, frolics and festivities in 2017!

Where will she take us this year…?

Gardening Tips

26

On Your Plot Planning veg for the year ahead If you’re new to veggie growing then this is the ideal time to start planning for the year ahead. Think about what space you have available for your crops and plan what you would like to grow and where.

Jobs for January:-

• Plan your crops • Protect crops against the cold and from pests such as pigeons • Sew lettuces indoors • Start rhubarb crowns

Gardening may be the last thing on your mind in the cold weather but this is the perfect time to plan what to grow and where this season.

It’s easy to get carried away when looking at catalogues or impressive displays of seed packets - but remember that it only makes sense to grow what you are likely to eat! If that still leaves you with a list that exceeds the space available then it may be wise to trim back on crops that take up a lot of space or are easily and cheaply available from local sources (potatoes perhaps?). Think about concentrating on plants that will crop quickly allowing the space to be used again. Remember also that you can use patio containers and grow bags to add extra growing space.

Once you have your list split your available space into 3 (or 4) areas and then group your crops together by family so that they can be rotated around the areas in a 3 or 4 year cycle.

Group the cabbage family together, then the onion family along with the pea and bean family, and finally potatoes, tomatoes and the carrot family.

This is a great time of year to seriously consider making some raised beds, if you don’t already have them. Make sure that they are not too wide for you to easily reach the middle from either side and that there is sufficient room

for easy access all the way around. The deeper you can make them the better and higher beds will mean less bending when you are planting out seedlings, harvesting or weeding.

If you have large areas of bare soil, awaiting planting, then you may like to think about covering them with black plastic, or cardboard, to protect the soil against the harsh January weather. Crops still growing, such as purple sprouting broccoli, will benefit from protection against hungry pigeons - try covering with wire mesh, fleece, or some homemade bird scarers (try stringing up some old CD’s).

For those who are keen to get sowing, you can try a few lettuces. Start off on a bright, sunny windowsill, thinning down when they are large enough to handle. Grow on in frost free conditions such as a shed, or polytonal before finishing off under cloches. If you haven’t already planted shallots then it’s not too late to think about it, but don’t put them in when the ground is too wet or they may rot.

Start saving empty egg boxes ready to chit your seed potatoes before planting. Just pop them into the egg boxes, sprout end up in a cool but frost free place and wait for the shoots to appear. You’ll also find the boxes useful for starting tiny seedlings off in months to come as they grow they can be planted straight out with no disruption as the box will simply rot down.

And finally, if you have space, you may like to think about starting off some new rhubarb crowns towards the end of January.

Auto Biographies Motoring

All-New Kia Niro

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk

Hybrid vehicles are in vogue these days – or so it appears. Will this technology take over the conventional power plants we know one day? I don’t have the psychic wherewithal to tell you. But a lot of automakers seem to be following this trend – and now it’s Kia’s turn.

The all-new Kia Niro hybrid is propelled by an orthodox 1.6-litre GDi petrol engine, paired up with a 32kW electric motor. There’s also a lithium-ion polymer battery where energy is saved. This layout is like with the one in Toyota’s Prius, and manages an official combined mpg of up to 74.3mpg, alongside CO2 emissions starting from 88g/km.

The Niro is larger than its relative, the Cee’d, yet more pocket-sized than its other relation – the attractive and admired Sportage. The all-new Kia Niro is the South Korean car company’s first attempt at a hybrid crossover type of vehicle, but you wouldn’t know.

Sure, there are copied elements, such as white plastic adornments inside the cabin, especially around the inner door handles. These are, undoubtedly, inspired by Toyota, but you can let Kia off because every car manufacturer ‘makes use of’ ideas. It’s a fashion thing and, by its very nature, fashion is all about making certain you’re ‘down with the kids’ on the hottest style.

The new Kia Niro’s body is rectangular, but it’s not at all disagreeable.

The Niro has a simple, fetching form, that has hints of Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) about it. At the front, the Sportage’s genetic material comes through – most markedly around the headlights. What’s more, the rump of the all-new Niro is easy-on-the-eye, with a conventional tailgate decorated with touches of silver trim.

The all-new Kia Niro will seat four-adults comfortably, or five at a squeeze. The load area is a decent size – certainly large enough for a regular sized family’s needs. The steering wheel is pleasingly thick to grasp and the switchgear and dials are intuitive and clear

to use. The only difference between the Niro and a conventionally powered car is an energy flow meter replacing the rev counter.

There’s also a drivetrain pictorial showing the energy stream between the Kia Niro’s engine, battery and wheels.

On start-up, the all-new Kia Niro sounds like it’s not turned on.

That’s because, as with all hybrids, the engine under the bonnet doesn’t cut in instantly. Instead of any tick-over sounds, you hear a chime, signifying that the Niro is running. It’s not long before the 105PS petrol powered unit makes its presence known, though.

On the road, the Niro delivers even-tempered performance, thanks to a six-cog automatic gearbox. And, while the Kia Niro is no out and out performer, the additional power the petrol engine receives from the electric motor is appreciable. The all-new Kia Niro also feels planted and deals with the straights contentedly. It’s only on more blemished B-road surfaces that the Niro’s firm suspension results in a bit of jitteriness. The Kia Niro has to have a stiff set-up, though, to cope with the extra heft of the hybrid assembly. Luckily, there’s a silver lining to every cloud and this firmness means that body lean is hardly noticeable in corners.

The all-new Kia Niro hybrid comes in four levels of trim, categorised ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’ and ‘First Edition’. All are well-appointed with driver assistance, comfort, and connectivity features. Every Kia Niro has a lane-keep assist system, hill-start assist control, cruise control and a speed limiter. The new car also comes factory-fitted with support smartphone connectivity, music streaming and a DAB radio.
