Hello there
It’s the July Edition and officially Summer. Although as I’m writing this the rain is pounding the roof of our office, so I hope that it improves remarkably for all of you and you are reading this in your garden getting a sun tan! As always we have compiled some topical articles for you, just as a quick reminder, if you would like to see anything in particular then please just let us know! On page 18, ‘It’s All About When You Book’.... your holiday that is. This is a short interesting article focussing solely on when to book your holiday, hopefully it helps you save some pounds! The gardening article on page 24, is full of jobs for your garden in July and even has small part about what flowers to plant for Autumn. Nothing like being organised! This month we have donated our Charity article to The Danny Green Fund who have funded a day of research in the memory of Danny Green. You can read this article on page 8.

Day of Research Funded
to mark 4 year anniversary On 25th July it will be 4 years since we lost our precious son, 4 years since we last saw his beautiful smile or heard his voice. it doesn’t get any easier, every day is a struggle for those that loved and knew Danny but the charity helps to keep Danny’s memory alive and also helps so many children. Children who without our support would not receive the vital therapies that we are able to fund, thanks to everyone who supports Danny’s charity. Danny’s legacy is helping others and he will live on in the hearts and minds of those that knew the courageous, funny, cheeky little boy who was our son and in the families that Danny’s charity is fortunate to support. The Danny Green Fund have funded a day of brain tumour research at Portsmouth University on 25th July in Danny’s memory which has
been dedicated to Design4Print who have supported the charity over the last 4 years. We are very grateful for the support that they have offered Danny’s charity and we will be presenting them with a glass keepsake in recognition of their support. All money raised for The Danny Green Fund ensures that numerous children from around the UK who are suffering from PFS along with a brain tumour will receive the vital therapies needed for them to regain their balance and co ordination so that they will achieve their goals of walking independently once again. If you would like to fund raise for The Danny Green Fund please contact us at info@thedannygreenfund.org.uk.

it very late, ie, the week before you go, and you may get elegant trips for dirt-cheap prices. ...or the earlier the better The other way to get discounts is to book early, as much as NINE MONTHS in advance, because many tour operators offer early booking discounts. These can include £100 per couple discounts or buy-one-get-one-free weeks.
It’s all about when you book! The later you book, the cheaper, but this means limited choice. When it comes to timing your package holiday booking, there’s one thing to remember: The later the better... Booking late is the cheapest way to get a package. Later means no more than eight to ten weeks before departure, when the bargains flood in. The reason’s simple. Tour operators have chartered the planes and reserved the rooms, and, if they don’t shift ‘em, they lose money. The later you leave it, the more desperate they are to flog empty rooms, so the price drops further. Yet the later you wait, the more you need flexibility about dates and destinations. So if crèche facilities or a specific hotel are musthaves, be careful. If you just want anywhere hot and cheap, leave
Many places shout about special offers, but don’t be drawn in without checking the final cost - you might find a cheaper deal elsewhere, without a specific sale or code. Here’s one of the current deals out there: Last two weeks of summer hols are cheaper Take a holiday when others can’t, such as travelling before school holidays in May and June to family destinations such as Florida, and you’ll get a better price. Holiday booking calendarIf that’s not an option, prices for package holidays drop rapidly at the end Aug/early Sep. This is likely to be because most people want to go as soon as they can, according to ABTA. For example, when we checked last year a week in Gran Canaria for a family of four was £1,076 at the start of August but £668 for the end of the summer holidays. Go off the beaten track The same’s true if you venture to once-in vogue mass destinations that are no longer chic, where hotel capacity is unquenched by off-the-boil demand. If you don’t fancy a package, city breaks tend to cost less in summer as they’re less obvious destinations. Consider Bulgaria rather than Greece.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company
policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service Billericay, Basildon Wickford & Langdon Hills
and manager Chris Miller agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

LIFTING AND STORING BULBS Tulips, hyacinths and other spring flowering bulbs can be dug up in July and stored. Place the bulbs in a single layer in a cool, airy place to dry, and store them in these conditions until planting time in the autumn. You may find that small bulbs have been produced at the base of the larger bulbs. Simply detach these and plant in a nursery bed to grow-on to flowering size.
What to do in the flower garden this Summer A few little jobs for a Flower Garden this July Watering plants should continue as necessary according to kind. Generally speaking, greyleaved plants from Mediterranean regions need less water than soft, lush plants such as dahlias. Keep a look out for wilting leaves, which are a sure sign that a plant needs watering. However, wilting can also be caused by pests feeding off the plants’ roots or by certain diseases, so if watering does not perk the plant-up then investigate further. If you grow plants in window boxes, hanging baskets, tubs, or any other similar container, make sure that they are well looked after. Once in flower and growing well, they will need liquid feeding at least weekly. Watering will be more frequent and should usually be given when the surface of the compost is drying out.
Tender cyclamen house plants that have been resting after their winter display may start to send out tiny leaves-a sign that they will need potting up in fresh compost. Water well and expose to light and warmth. Plant autumn flowering bulbs at the end of July for a late seasonal garden display. WHAT FLOWER SEEDS TO SOW IN JULY Continue to sow any herbaceous plant seeds still remaining. There is still time to build good plants by the winter, but they are very unlikely to flower until next year. Continue thinning out of perennials and winter flowering seedlings. Biennial seeds sown last month will also need thinning, and you can keep sowing pansies now, ready for winter and next spring. Any herbaceous and biennial seedlings that are still in their original seed rows, or pots, should be planted out in wider nursery rows soon after they are large enough to handle. Make a start collecting seeds this month if you want to dry and store your own seeds. PLANTING LATE FLOWERING BULBS It is now time to look ahead and plan for autumn colour. There are many bulbs that can be plant now that will take over in the borders when the annuals and bedding plants are past their best. Autumn crocus (Colchicum) is an ideal choice.

Worried About Eczema Stuart BSc(Hons) MSc(Chiro) DC Consultant Osteomyologist www.spinalcarecentre.co.uk I had an email this week from a mother worried about her 11 year old son’s eczema. Many children do grow out of this painful and irritating skin condition by their mid teens but some do not (one in 12 adults are affected). Symptoms of eczema include painful swelling and oozing of the skin, bleeding cracks, severe scaling, itching and burning. Although it can look unsightly, it is not contagious. There are two main types: contact and atopic eczema. Contact eczema (sometimes referred to as contact dermatitis) can occur when an irritating substance comes into contact with the skin. Common irritants are wool, detergents, nickel (often in jewellery), perfume and ingredients in cosmetics. The other main type, atopic eczema is thought to be hereditary and is also usually triggered by allergins but this time the substance is inhaled or ingested (as in foods, dust, pollen, etc). Asthma and hayfever are closely linked to atopic eczema and sufferers often display symptoms of two or more conditions. When people with atopic eczema are exposed to an irritant or allergen to which they are sensitive, inflammation producing cells come into the skin. There, the cells release chemicals that cause itching and redness. Further damage occurs when the person scratches and rubs the affected area. Constant scratching can cause the skin to split, leaving it prone to infection. In infected eczema the skin may crack and weep (‘wet’ eczema). Whilst there is no cure for eczema, there are lifestyle changes that you can make to manage the condition and avoid flare ups - such as minimizing environmental allergens in the home. The first step is consulting your GP to diagnose what type of eczema you have. Conventional treatments include emollient creams and ointments, liquid bath emollients, steroid creams and ointments, immuno-modulator treatments and antibiotic creams. Your GP may refer you to a dermatologist or a dietician who can also recommend any dietary changes or supplements that may help. Recent research suggests that prebiotics and essential fatty acids may help manage eczema. Essential fatty acids can be found abundantly in fish oils, flax seed oil and evening primrose oil. I try
and get as many of my clients as possible onto a good quality heavy metal free omega 3 oil that we sell in the clinic. Some also find that rubbing grape seed oil into the affected area can help. An effective skin care routine is also key to minimising skin damage. Your GP or dermatologist will advise you and the National Eczema Society (NES) has a very informative website: www.eczema. org. You can also find details of local support groups on their website. NES also offers general advice such as wear- ing cotton clothing to reduce itchiness and tips on reducing allergens in the home (eg dust mites). Some sufferers have found that complementary therapies such as acupuncture osteomyology or chiropractic help reduce their symptoms. Indeed, over the years I have had several patients, whom I was treating for other problems, report that their skin lesions dramatically reduced over a period of weeks and months. Although much research is needed in this area and it varies with individuals, improvement may be due to the spinal adjustments working on improving the functioning of your nervous system. A better functioning nervous system allows your body to get on with its job of healing and maintaining health levels. Although not proven, it is also thought that stress can worsen flare ups so learning a deep breathing relaxation technique may help take your focus off the pain and itching. With school age children suffering with eczema, it may help to discuss the condition with your child’s teacher so they can be on the look out for bullying. The NES has specific advice for schools and you may find it easier to print off their information and hand it you child’s teacher.

Basildon’s Community Safety Partnership Strategy, Annual Report and Plan on a Page
The revised Community Safety Partnership Strategy; ‘Reducing Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour’ in the Basildon Borough 2015-2018 and the Community Safety Partnership annual report 2015-16 is now available on the council’s website.
This Article is sponsored by Time for You

To view a copy of these documents please visit www. basildon.gov.uk, click on the community tab under more services, to find further details on the Community Safety pages for the borough.
Community Engagement Days 2016
The Community Safety Partnership will be holding ‘popup’ sessions in 2016, to help tackle crime and an¬ti-social behaviour within the bor¬ough. From using crime and anti-social be¬haviour data from the Essex Police, areas to showcase in will be defined according to those that have a high crime need. Partner agencies will then be out and about to speak with residents, communi¬ty groups, businesses and schools about how best to tackle problems as they arise. Forthcoming dates for the ‘pop-up’ events are set with the exact locations to be announced within 3 days of the proposed date; with a particular focus on areas that are ex¬periencing specific concerns or issues of high crime and reported incidents to best provide community presence and reassurance.
