November 2015 Your Local Community Magazine

Dear Readers Welcome to the November issue of Island Magazines.

I can hardly believe where the year has gone and I think it is now acceptable for me to be able to mention Christmas, because lets be honest it’s not far away now!!! The end of October sees Halloween and then the beginning of November its Guy Fawkes and then its a straight run to Christmas.

There has been a change in the weather and there is now a chill in the air, personally I don’t mind this, its the rain I don’t like so lets keep our fingers crossed for a relatively dry November.

This month I have been on a learning expedition and paid a visit to the Isle of Wight Bat Hospital and you can read all about it on page 7.

There is still plenty to do on the Island and you’ll find details of Christmas Fayres, Guy Fawkes Parties and charity events listed in the Dates for your Diary on page 9 and on page 11 you’ll find details of the Christmas Panto taking place at the Amy White Theatre, East Cowes Town Hall.

Please keep supporting the advertisers and using their services and please always let me know if you have any news you want to share.

Until next month...

Report from IW Councillor for Ryde North East - Wayne Whittle, Hunters Way, Binstead Hill, Ryde, PO33 3RP. Tel 07792 670771 E: wayne.whittle@iow.gov.uk Twitter @RydeAbide The Autumn rains have started, thankfully the Southern Water flood prevention works are now complete, the huge tank in the Memorial Gardens will take thousands of gallons out of our shared system and hopefully alleviate the impact of flash flooding due to heavy rain.

Council, but RTC are waiting for IWC to get back to them with an annual price for leasing Appley car Park, if IWC let RTC do this the same way Ventnor Town Council were allowed to lease 5 of their Car Parks it would hopefully enable RTC to provide a more user friendly pay to park strategy.

RTC are calling for the Pennyfeathers development to be disallowed due to the fact that the land owning partners who intend to develop the site are still yet to agree to join their land in order to get the planning permission for the 900 houses.

Fingers crossed!!!

During the consultation there have been many Hut owners expressing concern over the new parking charges at Appley and Puckpool.

I want the IWC to get rid of all pay and display machines on seafronts and use parking scratch cards, I have seen these successfully used on the mainland.

Puckpool comes under Seaview parish

Like many I have heard of the Isle of Wight Bat Hospital but I can’t say I know a lot about them so I decided to get in contact with them to learn a little more about these wonderful mammals.

of Green and Forster Veterinary Clinic.

The IOW Bat Hospital nurse bats back to health and once they are fully recovered they will be released back to nature where they were found.

I found out loads of bat facts and never The IOW Bat Hospital was founded by Donna realised that there are 17 breeding species of and Graham Street and has been active since bat living in Britain and the most common bat is the pipistrelle and 1996. The astonishingly this species only beds in their weighs between 4g-7g and its hospital are head and body is only 3.3cm always full but – 4.8cm (about the size of your they always thumb) have vacancies as they will You can visit their website to never turn a find more information at www. bat away. All isleofwightbathospital.org.uk or the bats they follow them on Facebook. deal with have been found by members of the public and the majority of them have been injured, with most injuries caused by cats and both Donna and Graham know that it’s only natural for cats to want to play with bats as they have 7 cats themselves so never judge others.

If you find a bat, don’t panic, gently pick it up with a gloved hand or with a tea towel and put it in a box which has several air holes in it.

I can’t stress how important this is otherwise the bat won’t be able to breathe and will die.

Then give Donna and Graham a call on 01983 406756 or 07771 605952 and they will come straight out and pick the bat up and take it back to the hospital to ascertain its injuries which could range from broken arms, fingers and tears to the wings.

Even if the bat has more holes in its wings than a colander they can still give it antibiotics to help the wing repair itself but it is important they do this as soon as they can to stop infections and for more serious injuries they work closely with Dr Ian Green

Email info.igtc@gmail.com @IslandGTC www.facebook.com/islandgardentimbercare www.islandgardentimbercare.co.uk

Gutters are an important part of a property, but they can easily get cluttered with leaves, twigs, moss and other items. By keeping them cleared you can ensure the free flowing of rain water. When guttering is blocked the rain water will over flow and will eventually cause damage to the structural elements of the building, water will erode the building material and can ultimately cause damage to the foundations, drainage system and the paving. Internally, damp will appear and create mold and mildew that is not only bad for the building but also your health.

Island Garden Timber Care use the very latest in gutter cleaning technology – using a high powered vacuum system and portable video cameras that allow them to survey and clean the guttering from ground level. They can perform a survey on your property using a video camera which allows them to view the guttering and down pipes to check their condition up to 12 meters and prices start from just £20.

Resin Stone Driveways Beautiful Surface Overlays - for your driveway What is a Resin Stone Overlay?

BEFOR

E

Resin Stone Overlaying is effectively surfacing over your existing block-paved, tarmac or concrete driveway, path or patio. Resin Overlays provide a highly cost-effective and quick way of replacing the surface in the Garden or on the Driveway. As well as being aesthetically pleasing and highly durable, the benefits include: Being both solvent and odour free, during and after application - Restricting growth of weeds - Eliminating loose stones Being environmentally friendly - Compliance with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).

How is it done?

We initially prepare the existing surface using a high-pressure jet washer system and primer, before applying your chosen resin stone combination. The overlays typically take 1-2 days with minimal inconvenience.

Finishing

We also offer a range of natural or blended stone and surrounding landscaping options including moon stone to truly personalise your resin installation.
