ART THERAPY
Dear Readers Welcome to the October issue of Island Magazines. As you know I always like to give a mention about the weather but really I’m not sure what can be said about it this month. There have been some nice days at the beginning of September but then I am also hearing that some people have put the heating on already!!! To me October represents Autumn leaves and Halloween and the nights drawing in but I really don’t feel that way whilst writing this but who knows what is in store for us in the next couple of weeks.

You can read all about Art Therapy on page 3 and on page 15 , if you are a cat owner you can find out how you can help the cat crisis on the Island. The ‘Dates for your Diary’ page is on page 10 and 11. The Rotary is appealing to the generosity of Islanders in the hope that you will all be able to support this years Christmas Shoe Box Appeal.

ART THERAPY I hope you like this months front cover. Some of you will know exactly what it means and for the others I’d like to welcome you to the world of Art Therapy. Art Therapy is exactly what it says it is… creative therapeutic colouring for grown ups. Remember when you were a child and you were given a colouring book! It’s exactly the same as that… you get to bring a picture to life. It’s your picture/book and you can do what you want. You can use pencils, crayons, felt tips, gel pens, the list goes on. You can The Islands Premier Window Cleaner use whatever colours you want and if you 07955 352 126 or don’t want to stay within the lines then you 01983 296445 don’t have too as this is the beauty of Art ** Special offer with this advert** Therapy!!! I have the Secret Garden colouring book which is combined with an inky treasure hunt and features pictures containing birds, rabbits, insects and animals hidden amongst swirly trees, beautiful gardens and other magical wonders. I can find myself engrossed in colouring for hours at a time or sometimes I can just pick it up and shade a few flowers. There is no set time and you can make the rules up as you go along. Its relaxing and rewarding and you can take it with you wherever you go and its not expensive either. These books are designed to give us a break from the manic world that we live in. Feeling stressed or has your day been frustrating, perhaps you are recuperating, or maybe you just need some you time… whatever the reason Art Therapy could be just what you need. You will find many local shops will be stocking these colouring books or you can order them online like I did from Amazon.

News Report from Cllr Ian Stephens - Ryde West - Lantern Cottage, The Orchard, Pellhurst Road, Ryde, Email:- ian.stephens@iow.gov.uk Mobile:-07970 009523 I was approached by Creative England in my role as LGA Chairman of the culture, tourism and sport board with a view to highlighting opportunities throughout England and Wales with regard to film location work.
Although it’s difficult to put precise figures on what every production is worth to the local economy, as much as £32k can be spent per day on location hires, local employment and services while a production is filming in a region.
The possibility of increasing revenue within local communities rang a bell with me and I wanted the Isle of Wight to have a piece of the pie! So I arranged with a local media professional, Mr Dave Russell and Creative England to bring a group of film and TV location managers to the Island on the 10th/11th September in a bid to highlight the Island’s potential as a filming location. This has been fully supported by both local attractions and Businesses at nil cost to the Isle of Wight Council.
A major film project may typically spend around £32,000 a day on locations, local employment and services whilst a television production will spend in the region of £16,000 to £19,000 each day. For a production of scale to be based in an area is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses and tourists alike and can be truly beneficial to the local economy.
Creative England, a not-for-profit organisation, works with public and private sector partners in 250 local authorities and public ancillary services across the country via its Film Partnerships to maximise filming opportunities and ensure every region of England can capitalise on the growth opportunities from filming. This also ensures a film friendly welcome to productions based in the English regions and is essential for the smooth running of major film and TV drama shoots. Creative England runs national locations and crew databases to assist with easy access to thousands of regional locations and local crew and facility businesses for hire.
A meeting held in London was very open and honest with the Department for Transport and the Isle of Wight Council, culminating in a Government statement which includes the Island line within plans for the next South Western franchise from 2017. Central Government have made it clear that the line is expensive to run however will look for the best opportunity for the continuation of the Island Line service.
I believe that the Island is a great place for film and TV location work and the feedback from all the film professionals who visited The location managers, with credits including the varied places on our wonderful Island The Man from UNCLE, World War Z and Jack was so positive that I feel certain that great Ryan, visited numerous locations including things will follow. My heartfelt thanks for private period houses, along with well-known everyone who supported this event. sites like Osborne House and the Needles to name a few. Island Line

News report from Cllr Ian Stephens Continued this critically important service. Pennyfeathers
07783 082 900
The Isle of Wight planning committee approved the amended application for 900 homes on the Pennyfeathers site. The committee had little alternative but to grant permission as the applicant had satisfied the concerns raised within the original application. I personally am against the development due to the density and the possibility of further flooding within the Monkton Mead Valley and the areas which have had a history of flooding. Ryde Town Council rejected the application, raising multitude of concerns.

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.
