Goodbye to Summer As we say goodbye to summer and move in to autumn, it’s time to get busy in the garden Time spent now on a good clear up can help prevent disease from taking hold. My worry for this year is that after the wet summer and warm September that plant mildew might take hold, dealing with any problems now will save heartache in the spring. Lift all your summer bedding and move it to the composter, if you plan to save any seeds produced, now is the time to nip them off, store them in well labelled envelopes and keep them dry. Cut back summer flowering shrubs if you have not already done so. Remove dead limbs and prune back by as much as a third if required, the thing we don’t want to do is to leave it until the frosts have started as the frost can get in to fresh cuts and cause blackening and ultimately death to less established plants.

by Sharon Longshaw

Autumn is also a great time for dealing with tired looking lawns, reduce the frequency of cutting and knock it up a notch so that you are not cropping too closely. A dressing of Weed & Feed will do wonders if applied correctly, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, using too much will scorch your grass as well as kill the weeds. After approximately 2 weeks rake out dead weeds and moss and re-seed bald patches. If seeding a large area I suggest using something as a bird deterrent, I use old CD’s on string attached to garden canes or cut up a black plastic sack in to ribbons and attach the strips to canes. Give borders a good weed and turn the soil, if you have shrubs that you would like to move now is a very good time to get this job done, they will be rebidded in by spring so this should not disturb the flowering pattern. With your soil weed free and turned planting spring flowering bulbs is made easy, choose Snowdrops, Crocus, Daffodils and Tulips, as a rule of thumb bulbs should be planted at around 2.5 times their own depth in free draining soil, for the best effect plant bulbs in clumps approximately 3 inches apart. Lastly don’t forget to drain and store your hosepipe, any water left in it will freeze quickly and could split the hose making it useless for next year.

Why is understanding healing important?

by Ellen Mcnamee

Understanding the healing process allows you to deal better with the injury. We know that swelling is natural, as it initiates the healing process but too much swelling can cause increased pressure, blocking the flow of blood leading to increased pain and delayed healing. To limit swelling and help control pain, we advise PRICE for the first 24-48hrs. Protect, Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevate.

Protect – the area from further injury. Support the

injured part by taping or strapping, to protect against further damage. Seek expert help as poor strapping can make some injuries worse.

est – protects the area and promotes effective healing. Continuing to exercise a damaged muscle, joint or ligament can turn a minor problem into a major one. Resting for the first 72 hours following injury promotes healing.

Ice – applied for 10mins every two hours, never apply

directly to the skin. Heat during the first 72 hours is not advisable.

ompression – can help limit swelling. Compression stretchy bandage is best applied not too tight. If unsure seek advice.

Elevation – eliminate the effects of gravity on blood

pooling and assist in lymphatic and venous drainage. Elevate the injured part whenever possible. Ideally this should be above the level of your heart.

Understanding the difference between sprain and strains. A sprain is a tear of ligament fibres. Sprains are usually caused by the ligament being stretched too far, for example twisting your ankle. A strain is a stretch or tear of a muscle or tendon. A strain is usually caused by over stretching, overuse or

when the muscle contracts to quickly. For example if you slipped as you went to kick a football you may over stretch your hamstring. With minor injuries the pain and swelling may settle and you can return to normal activities relatively quickly. But with more serious sprain and strain you may need the help of a Chartered Physiotherapist, Osteopath or Sports Massage Therapist. Treatment can help relieve your symptoms and promote tissue healing. Before any action is taken, the clinic team will assess and diagnose the problem, help you understand what is wrong and explain how you can avoid further problems. Rehabilitation can help reduce pain and swelling, increase range of movement, flexibility, stability, strength, balance and co-ordination. Prevention is always better and the clinic team will always give advice on ways to prevent injuries. For friendly advice please contact, Ellen Louise McNamee, Chartered Physiotherapist or Rephael the Sports Massage Therapist. Tel: Clinic on 01268 - 273343 Rephael: 07949 910195.

With summer now sadly over, my officers are gearing up for Halloween and Bonfire Night. Due to the nature of the festivities, we sometimes see an increase in the amount of reports of anti-social behaviour. We want to make sure that people feel safe, whilst at the same time allowing law abiding residents to enjoy themselves. Officers are visiting local schools to speak to young people about how to have fun at Halloween , whilst staying safe and out of trouble. Shop keepers are being urged to use their common sense when selling eggs or flour to young people around Halloween. We will also be reminding people not to use fireworks illegally in public places. Throwing or setting off fireworks in the street is an offence under the Explosives Act 1875, with a fine of up to £5000. This is extremely dangerous, and if my officers find anyone doing such a thing, they will be dealt with. This should be a fun season for the whole family to enjoy, but unfortunately a minority ruins it for the rest by being irresponsible. Fireworks are dangerous if not dealt with properly and can cause misery to people living nearby. The most important message that I want to get across to residents and their children is that not everyone wants to celebrate the festivities, so we ask you to be respectful of others, and if you are found to be behaving dangerously or inappropriately, we will deal with you robustly. If you would like ‘no trick or treat’ posters or would like safety advice around Halloween or Bonfire Night, please contact your local neighbourhood officer by visiting www.essex.police.uk and type in your postcode, or call Essex Police’s non emergency number on 101.

Chief Insp. Rachel Nolan

For those of you that will be getting involved in the festivities, have a safe, happy and enjoyable Halloween.
