4 Dear Neighbours, We do hope you are continuing to find The Edition 108 Ferndown & West Parley Directory useful. Our best friend’s daughter, Abby, who featured on the cover of last month’s edition has a new column - Abby’s Pony Blog, which you can find on page 52. If you know of Debbie & Stephen Corney any clubs or societies in the with our son Hayden area that would like some extra support please let us know as we can promote them for free. If you have a business and would like to promote to the local community please give me a call and I can talk you through the options that we have.

Stephen took me to see the Olly Murs Tribute at The St Leonards Hotel last month. It was a great night out! I highly recommend these tributes. The food was good and the singer, Joe Scripps, was excellent. We were able to let our hair down for the evening!

So, this month there are flooring experts, builders, carpet and upholstery cleaners, blinds and dentists as well as garden designers, tree surgeons, painters and decorators, the all important estate and will planning, hearing experts and much more. Nellie took us to Milford on Sea and what a great weekend away we had! You can read “The Adventures of Nellie” on pages 38 and 39.

There is also a prize wordsearch, which will be drawn at the end of this month, with a fantastic piece of garden furniture to be won from Reformed Plastics! Good luck with that one.

Wishing you all a great Easter.

Best regards,

Welcome...

Here For You

when it matters most Getting Married

Care Fee Protection When an individual requires long term care, their home and savings may be used to fund it. We can help you understand this complex area and provide advice on what steps can be taken now to protect your hard earned wealth.

You’ll need to put plans in place to ensure your spouse is looked after should the worst happen. Any existing Last Will and Testament is probably invalidated by your marriage, so prompt action is recommended.

The Birth of a Child There’s plenty to think about when you become a parent, but high on the agenda should be reviewing your Will to include your child as a EHQH¾FLDU\ DQG appoint a guardian to look after your child if anything happens to you.

Losing a Parent

Getting Divorced

Along with all the personal issues a bereavement can bring, there are also a number of legal issues that need attention (Probate). The affairs of your parent will need to be attended to and we are here to guide you.

A divorce can be a life-changing event that requires your estate planning to be reviewed. It’s important to make provision for those you need to care for in the event of your death. Your Will isn’t automatically invalidated by your divorce.

Becoming a Grandparent

A Second Marriage

As a grandparent you get to enjoy all the good bits of parenting, but can hand the little bundle of joy back at the end of the day. It’s time to reconsider your planning to cater for the new family structure.

It’s vital you review your planning and make your wishes clear – you might want to plan using a trust to provide for your new spouse, whilst still ring-fencing the inheritance of your child from a previous marriage.

Planning for Mental Incapacity If you lose capacity because of accident or illness, solely AND jointly held accounts could be frozen. Without Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) in place, your loved ones face a long, complex, expensive and intrusive court process to gain control of your affairs.

West Parley’s Gardening Club

Well known local gardener Diana Guy coming to talk on the ‘All Round Garden’ on March 31st at Parley Country club at 7.30pm. Everyone welcome.

For further information contact Pat Couper (see below).

West Parley in Bloom

This year’s entry, in the South and South East in Bloom competition, has been expanded to recognise the considerable interest that residents have in making West Parley look brighter. There will be a back garden as well as a front garden competition and an entry into the ‘It’s your Neighbourhood’ category to showcase the work undertaken by all the hardworking local volunteer groups.

Anyone interested in helping keep the village looking its best and getting some free exercise with like-minded residents should contact Stuart Couper (see below).

Details of how to enter the front and back garden competitions will be announced soon.

Helping you help yourselves

Every May Bank Holiday the Bournemouth 7’s event is held close to the Airport. Last year the Organisers worked closely with West Parley and Hurn Parish Councils, Police and the Licensing Authorities to improve security at and around the event to minimise the impact on local residents and businesses after problems experienced in 2013.

We will soon let you know about the arrangements for the event and details of local contacts in case you are affected during the event. Fortunately, there were

very few complaints last year but this feedback helps identify any problems that the Organisers need to deal with.

Noise from the event has been a concern and is more closely controlled now.

However, we are dependent on the direction of the wind for the extent the noise affects us so we hope it is mainly from the south west this year!

On another matter, we will soon be reissuing the contact details to residents living close to the Recreation Ground so that they can contact us if they see anything suspicious going on. In 2013 nine caravans occupied the site for over a week causing considerable damage and rubbish round the site and serious concern to neighbours. Increased vigilance and extra security last year helped avoid a repeat of the incursion.

‘Good Neighbour Scheme’ Launched

A new scheme to help West Parley residents with small jobs round the house and garden has recently been launched by the Partnership for Older People Programme to cover Ferndown and West Parley. The aim is for local volunteers to carry out minor jobs, such as changing a light bulb, moving small items of furniture, dog walking if ill etc. This work is done for a donation to cover the volunteer’s expenses. Clients wishing to use the scheme should phone 01202 834034.

Organisers are looking for people to help with this work. West Parley already has a network of volunteers who undertake community tasks, such as litter picking, leaflet distribution and working on the appearance of the village as well as our Volunteer Drivers transport scheme.

This new scheme is a great way to meet other residents, especially those in need.

Anyone interested in helping out should

contact the Co-ordinator, John Muggleton on 01202 861832.

Closure of New Road

When you read this New Road will be closed to traffic and no doubt there will be a considerable amount of disruption whilst the essential road maintenance work is being done.

It is a difficult time for all the businesses at Parley Cross affected by the closure so we urge residents to continue to support our local business people now and in the future. We all know the saying ‘Use it or Lose it’ and this is particularly relevant at present.

Glenmoor Road

It is good to see the changes that have taken place at Glenmoor Road shops. An extended hairdresser and a new coffee shop mean that all the shop units are occupied. A number of large planters have been put in place in recent years so the whole area looks the best it has done for some time. The new 20 mph speed limit signs are now working in front of the shops and close to Parley First School.

Annual Parish Meeting

The 2015 event will be held in the Memorial Hall on 24th April. Doors open at 7 to view the public displays and meeting starts at 7.30pm. It is a good way for residents to get up to date with what is happening in the village and a chance to ask any questions on Parish issues. Put the date in your diary and come along to be involved in the community.

Change of Councillors

Unfortunately Cllr Kieran Ryan has had to resign from the Parish Council due to work pressures but we are pleased to announce that Cllr Malcolm Plascott has joined us. He has brought some fresh ideas about how to improve things in the village.

Elections

The May elections will cover National, District and Parish Councils. All current Councillors in West Parley, apart from Cllr Geoff Dark, who is taking a well earned rest after many years of service to the local community, are willing to continue to work hard for all residents. Much of what the Parish Council does is laid out in the Local Parish Plan, based on residents’ views on what they wanted to see here, but new ideas and thoughts on what is needed are always welcome.

Petanque is coming to Parley!

Mysterious ground works just outside Parley Country Club are the precursor to the introduction of Petanque – also known as Boules – to West Parley. There is already a league in Dorset and we look forward to seeing the game in action very soon.

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

Coffee mornings at Parley Country Club 10am – 12 noon, every Wednesday Health Walks from Parley Country Club Meet at 10am, coffee and chat afterwards, every Wednesday Garden Club meetings at Parley Country Club 7pm, last Tuesday of each month Annual Parish Meeting at the Memorial Hall, 7 for 7.30pm Friday 24th April

Select Interiors settle into their new home!

Select Interiors are a local, family run firm specialising in fitted furniture. Established over 20 years ago by Peter & Karen Biss, they were joined by their son, Shane, when he left Ferndown Upper School.

With their extensive array of manufacturing equipment and team of in-house fitters, Select Interiors can create your ideal furniture for every room in the house: kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, bathrooms and the lounge. What is more the furniture can be made to any size, colour and style.

In recognition of the quality and attention to service by the firm is their high level of recommendations, which bring over 80% of their new business.

Peter, Karen and the team are now in their new premises on Old Barn Farm Road in Three Legged Cross. All the machinery has been moved in as you can see in the pictures, as well as a brand new state-of-theart Airtec Edgebander. This is one of only a few in this country and bonds edging tape to the cut material via high pressure hot air.

This gives a near invisible join and no glue line, enabling them to produce high quality slab doors in a range of colours with a much better finish and harder wearing than the industry standard of vinyl wrapped doors.

The new showroom is open, but still being worked on. Watch this space for news on the Open Day!

All the equipment for making your dream furniture being moved into place

The new state-of-the-art Airtec Edgebander for an even better finish There is also now a new website which can be found at: www.selectinteriorsltd.com For more information contact Peter or Karen on 01202 821005. Alternatively you can email them at sales@selectinteriorsltd.com.

Law Spot ...providing the answers

to your legal questions

Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law.

I’ve heard that the law has changed and I have to mediate because I’m divorcing. Is that right?

No. As of April 2014, the Government have said that people who want to issue an application at Court to resolve finances within a divorce must first attend a Mediation Information and Assessment meeting (known as a MIAM). This means that, apart from in very limited circumstances, you have to see a mediator and find out about mediation as an option. A MIAM will also inform you about other options open to you which include collaborative law, lawyer-assisted negotiations and the traditional court process.

Chantal Findlay Family Lawyer

I am proposing to buy a house with my boyfriend. I have saved up more than him and those savings will form the larger part of the deposit. If the relationship should break down and we have to sell the property, is there anything that I can do to protect my share of the deposit?

mediation on a relationship breakdown because it is an effective way in many cases to help resolve issues effectively and healthily. Although legal aid has been withdrawn for legal advice except in narrow circumstances, it is widely available for mediation. Mediation can create an opportunity for open communication where all opinions count and are respected. This can be a very positive and responsible way to begin on the pathway to resolving key issues and to move forward.

Mediation is still only one option available for you to sort out your finances. It can be very helpful in many cases but it would be wrong to say it is right for all cases. It is important to consider it as an option at the outset because being fully informed of all options from the outset simply places you in a better position to make decisions about your future. regard to the proceeds in the event of a sale. For example, it could state that you each receive back your respective contributions and if you were to be paying the outgoings including the Mortgage equally, you could also share any uplift in the value of the property equally.

Consideration can also be given as to what should happen in the event of the property going down in price. You should discuss this with your boyfriend at an early stage and reach an agreement. If it leads to an argument about money, Tenants in Common – an expression which is nothing to do with Landlord & Tenant – means that you should give some thought as to whether the you have two separate shares in that equity. Your Arthur Scaife Solicitor would suggest that you make a Declaration joint purchase is actually a Conveyancing of Trust in which you set out your intentions with good idea!

Yes there is. Your Solicitor will advise you that you should hold the equity in the property, being the money that you have in the property after paying off the Mortgage and meeting the costs of the sale, as Tenants in Common.

Heritage News

West Parley gets bigger A recent review of parish boundaries carried out by East Dorset District Council has extended the boundary of West Parley to the north to include a large area of Parley Common and seven properties at the end of Barrack Road. With no road connection to Ferndown these properties always ‘looked’ to the south.

This is the latest in a number of changes to the parish boundary over the last 170 years driven by the expansion of the south east of Dorset from a relatively unpopulated part of the County into an area of large towns and medium sized villages.

West Parley was once a very large parish that extended over 3400 acres including both West Parley and West Moors. In 1851 there were only some 290 residents reflecting the mainly agricultural nature of the area, little changed from the Middle Ages.

Much of the area was unproductive heathland.

The parish was actually two virtually separate roughly rectangular portions of land only touching at a point north of Tricketts Cross but this was extended in 1886 by a further 500 acres to include an area east of West Moors up to the current A31. With this change the parish became coherent, but very narrow, stretching from 3 Legged Cross all the way south to the River Stour.

At this time there were few houses in West Parley itself, these being mainly along Christchurch Road and

Church Lane with a few scattered farm buildings down narrow side lanes. West Moors was the largest settlement in the parish at some 190 residents out of a total of 336 for the whole parish. It also had its own railway station.

Rapid expansion of Ferndown in the 20th century, still part of a large Hampreston parish, and of West Moors, led to further boundary changes and West Parley parish was virtually halved in size in 1956 when large areas of land were transferred to Hampreston and to the newly created West Moors parish. In small compensation, a part of Poor Common and an area of Dudsbury were transferred from Hampreston parish. Hampreston parish changed its name to Ferndown Town in 1986.

The 1956 changes left West Parley parish with 1120 acres. For hundreds of years the eastern edge of Parley had been the ancient Dorset / Hampshire boundary but this changed in 1974 when Christchurch and Hurn moved into Dorset.

Adventures of Nellie

38

The Adventures of Nellie The Dorset Publications Camper Van Nellie was ready for a break this month.

After all it was half term and Hayden was off school, so what better excuse than to ‘get away’ for a few days. We live in such a gorgeous area it was difficult to choose where to go.

Nellie eventually decided to take us just along the coast, through the New Forest, to the Shorefield Country Park near Milford on Sea. As the weather has been a bit unpredictable, and still a bit on the chilly side, we booked a small chalet with heating and Nellie parked herself proudly outside. I have to say that Nellie did well, the chalet was really good value for money and just what we needed for a few days off.

There are some rather grand looking log cabins as well as impressive caravans on site with hot tubs outside, so maybe we will try one of those next time? Anyway what we had was perfect for what we wanted. We did arrive a bit early, all very keen to have our time off, so Nellie and her whistling kettle provided us with a lovely cuppa, while we waited for

Stephen & Hayden with Nellie at our chalet

Nellie arriving at Shorefield Country Park the keys to our ‘weekend escape’. Of course Hayden was very excited about the pool, so once we were settled in and bags were unpacked, (were we really only staying for a few days??) off we set for the leisure facilities.

While Hayden practiced his hand stands at the deep end and generally glided around like I will never be able to do, I had a relaxed steam bath, sauna and jacuzzi. Much more fun… at least at 50!

A caravan park from this viewpoint is ideal - it caters for all ages.

What I liked about this park also is the setting. Located in a wonderful forest of trees, much wildlife, (I am sure we saw a woodpecker) and fields, yet the sea is literally ten minutes walk away.

Saturday was glorious with blue skies and those well known English fleecy white clouds. Love it. We marched off for the coast, doing a short Geocache enroute. The ‘treasure’ this time was tiny and Stephen was the winner, finding it very well hidden in a bench.

39 Once we got to the sea there was a large banner warning us not to swim. Though it was sunny it was still a little chilly, so that made me smile. I then looked more closely at the banner and was fascinated by the iron sea defences that were very dangerously placed under the water at this time. That got me thinking about our coast line.

This beach is full of pebbles and the waves were crashing vociferously onto them. If you close your eyes it is really quite dramatic. There is in fact a lot of work having to be done due to erosion, moving landscapes and these old sea defences. I discovered that the rock in this area is softer than that near Old Harry Rocks and there is a whole Shoreline Management Plan to help preserve our coastline all the way from Hurst Spit at Milford on Sea to Durlston Head near Swanage, including the bays in Poole and Bournemouth. That is all quite an undertaking! It is surprising really what we take for granted.

The whole concept got me thinking about old times, the future and life in general, but that is a bit deep for the Adventures of Nellie! We had a whale of a time, not literally as we were not allowed to swim, throwing stones in

The vociferous waves crashing on the shore

No Swimming?? I was so looking forward... the water, running enthusiastically away from the waves as they thundered towards us. Hayden got pretty wet and thought that was hysterical. He couldn’t stop laughing.

There are many beach huts along this stretch and some are delightfully painted while others are quite dilapidated. From what I read there is a whole question over these English Seaside getaways and their safety in this area. I certainly would be sorry to see them go. One local artist was collecting smooth pebbles for her next project, coming down from her little wooden hideaway onto the beach with her bucket. How exiting.

Finally we made it to…the café! It was perfect especially as it has a park for the children. “Needles Eye Café” it is called, obviously due to its stunning views of the coast and indeed The Needles on the Isle of Wight. After a good lunch, rest and relaxation, we set off back to the chalet and Nellie waiting patiently for us. We didn’t get to Hurst Castle and will have to save that for another trip. The fresh air, walk and wonderful views were just what we needed. What an amazing place we live in. So, where will Nellie go next?

Abby’ s ony Blog P

Abby Batson is 13 and spends much of her time “down the yard”. Here is her story…

“Hi Everyone. My name is Abby, I am 13 and love ponies and horses! I am going to tell you about life at the yard.

It is a great place with beautiful views, near Poole. It has about 40 horses and ponies of all shapes and sizes from mini Shetland ponies to beautiful large thorough breds. It is a very friendly yard with lots of chatting (there are a lot of girls…) and laughs as well as hard work.

Here is the lovely Banjo. He is very cheeky, fun and full of personality. I have been riding him since May. He is 24 an old gentleman in human years but absolutely full of life. He loves fruit including melons, polo mints and hugs!

At the weekend Banjo was helping me ‘poo pick’ in his field… as you can see. Well I am not sure helping is the right word!

Sometimes we take a break from all of our mucking out, grooming, sweeping and general yard duties…. This is Ruby the dog enjoying attention and a jumping lesson with the girls.

The outdoor life is great, if a little cold at this time of year, but my regular flask of hot chocolate always saves the day.

Thanks Mum…”

Sunday Lunch doesn’t get any better than this!

Winter is still in our midst so comfort food is still on our mind and there is nothing better than the good old Sunday Roast. Our restaurant has held a 2 AA Rosettes award for culinary excellence for many years now so all our food including our warming and homely roasts are lovingly cooked to order by our Chef/Patron James Coward.

Les Bouviers Sunday Roasts are second to none - we’ve been serving them for 24 years so we think we know a little about getting it right!! Enjoy an arrival drink in our cosy fireside bar followed by a sumptuous Roast. Sit back over coffee and embrace the stunning views of our 5 ½ acre grounds – all in all the perfect Sunday and with Main Courses from £9.95 you can afford to treat the whole family.

So if you are bored with the normal, dreary carvery?

Why not give Les Bouviers a try?

Tel: 01202 889555 to make your reservation or Email: info@lesbouviers.co.uk View our Sunday Lunch Menu on our Website: www.lbrr.co.uk Don’t forget Mother’s Day March 15th and Easter Sunday April 5th We will have special Sunday Menus for these days– see our Website for more information.
