Welcome...

The West Moors Directory

Dear Neighbours, We do hope you are continuing to find The Edition 118 West Moors Directory useful. Stephen is very proud of his photo on the front! If you have a photo you would think would be suitable please email it to me and we will see what we can do. If you know of any clubs or societies in Stephen & Debbie Corney these areas that would and our son Hayden 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 upholster 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.

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.

You’re Hired! Comms UK apprentice speaks of success Telecoms trainee, Nick Cossins, promotes apprenticeships after his own training scheme with Woolsbridge-based company, Comms UK, successfully ends in employment.

Mr Cossins, 20, from West Moors is now celebrating his new job title of Support Engineer after completing a full-time apprenticeship at Comms UK. When asked how beneficial the scheme had been, he replied: “Very. I have learnt so much in my time here. I have gained a new set of skills and have learned a lot of important life lessons. Comms UK have treated me very well and I would recommend an apprenticeship to anybody.”

Starting in 2012, Mr Cossins spent four days a week working and training inhouse with the help of a company mentor, whilst also attending Bournemouth and Poole College for one day a week. One of the company’s Directors, Steve Leach said: “Nick is our second new employee taken on under the apprenticeship programme. Having seen the success of the apprentice scheme in producing talented employees trained in the Comms UK way, it was the obvious choice when the opportunity arose for another young person to join the company.”

By attending courses on hosted telephone systems, shadowing colleagues on site visits, and carrying out specific jobrelated tasks, Mr Cossins learned the telecom engineering skills required to take him through to his new employed role. Always supported by the team, he said: “If I needed help, all I had to do was ask.”

Nick Cossins from West Moors For businesses considering an apprenticeship scheme, Mr Leach said: “The initial cost to Comms UK was minimal, allowing us the opportunity to provide a unique training programme that Nick has taken full advantage of, and has resulted in a full time position with plenty of future opportunities within the company. So successful has been our experience, we have just taken on our third apprentice and in the process of looking for another.”

Unusually, Comms UK sourced their candidates by approaching the local schools, interviewing and selecting a young person, then enrolling them on the apprenticeship programme.

Bournemouth and Poole College have apprenticeship vacancies all year round.

Of future plans, Mr Cossins says: “I hope to progress further in my learning and climb the company ladder. I think there are good things to come with Comms UK as the company is evolving. I hope to be a part of this evolution.”

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

The Government are promoting attending

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.

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

The West Moors Directory

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?

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.
