Protect Your Family’s Inheritance Against Care Home Fees
Friendly and compassionate service Wills Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA) Probate / Estate Administration
We spend our working lives providing for our families, paying taxes and saving for retirement. Many of us fear that our children’s inheritance will be lost to pay for Care Home fees in later life.
Concerned care fees may reduce your family’s inheritance?
Some people believe that transferring their home into their children’s names prevents the Local Authority from including the property in their assessment for care fees if the gift was made more than 7 years ago. THIS IS A MYTH. The so-called “7 year rule” does not apply to Local Authority means tests for care fees.

ivall smart helmet manufacturers are sponsoring Team Yabbitus in their latest challenge to cycle through 7 countries in 7 days and raise a total of £100K for their local charity Brian House Children’s Hospice based in Bispham. The group of friends from Blackpool have already raised over £72K for the charity but they hope to reach their target of £100K with the help of local business Second Chance Ltd based on Amy Johnson Way. Second Chance have given the riders Award Winning Livall BH60SE helmets to help them keep safe during their winter training and epic cycling journey through 7 European countries this June starting in Switzerland and finishing in Holland. Spokesperson for Team Yabbitus and one of the riders of the team Neil Thomas said 'We’re so pleased to have the Livall brand on-board with our challenge. These smart helmets are fantastic! They have a walkie-talkie system which means we can all talk to each other while riding the over 800 miles. We also feel safer as the lights & indicators increase our visibility out on the road.' The Livall range of smart helmets include: • Bright LED lights so you are easier to see • Indicator lights to alert traffic of your road

yre’s bathing waters have been awarded two stars and classified as ‘good’ by the European cleanliness standards for the third year in a row. The bathing water season runs from 5 May to 30 September each year when the Environment Agency tests the water each week for levels of bacteria, taking 20 samples at each site every year. These sites must meet strict European guidelines on water quality, with the aim of protecting the health of people who may want to swim, paddle or even just splash and play there. Councillor Roger Berry, with responsibility for the beaches in Wyre, commented ‘I’m absolutely delighted with this year’s results that recognise how well-managed and maintained Wyre’s bathing waters are. They have been achieved with support from our partners, Environment Agency and United Utilities as well as many residents who take part in community beach cleans along the coastline on a regular basis. Thank you to all those who continue to help look after our beaches.’ The council works closely with other organisations across the North West on a variety of initiatives to improve the quality of beaches and bathing waters, from building new flood defences and sustainable drainage to reducing pollution from sewage systems, agricultural land and surface water outfalls.

Wyre’s good waters Councillor Berry added ‘This really shows that we have both quality beaches and clean water, making Wyre’s coast an attractive and enjoyable place to live and visit. Members of the public can play a big part in improving beaches and bathing waters by thinking about what they flush, not dropping litter, joining in beach cleans through the LOVEmyBEACH campaign and always picking up after their dogs.’ Beach cleans take part one Saturday every month, details of the next beach clean can be found at www.lovemybeach.org.

New memorial bench
L
ast month Wyre Council installed a new memorial bench in Cleveleys, kindly donated entirely by local residents Paul and Sharon Riley-Clarke. This is the second memorial bench that the couple have funded. Both are on Victoria Road and are a fitting tribute to veterans. This latest bench marks the centenary of the end of the First World War and its intricate design features soldiers, poppies and a poignant quote reading ‘At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.’ The Mayor of Wyre, Councillor Marge Anderton was at the unveiling of the bench on 28th November which took place at the Cleveleys Christmas light switch on. She commented, “The bench looks beautiful and it is so generous of Sharon and Paul to fund these memorial tributes. It was a pleasure be there for the unveiling and to have the chance to thank the couple for all that they do.’ Sharon Riley-Clarke, a paramedic who lives in Cleveleys explains, ‘We are so pleased to be able to donate another memorial bench to commemorate
our veterans. It’s a nice thing to be able to do for the community. We loved the last one which was installed in 2016 and wanted to create another one to share with local people. Both my husband and I have a lot of respect for the armed forces, my own dad served with RAF for a number of years, so making this contribution is something that is close to our hearts.’

Caring for your pet neutered cats, especially males. Often, cats with FIV show no symptoms for some time, and when they do the symptoms are often fairly non-specific. These can include diarrhoea, sneezing, skin and eye infections, weight loss, lethargy, and reduced appetite. Swollen glands can also be a symptom. The best way to protect your cat from FIV is to get them neutered. This will help reduce their urge to roam and fight, decreasing the risk of your cat being bitten by an infected cat.’
Neuter cats to help protect them against FIV
V
et charity PDSA is calling for more cat owners to take preventive action and get their pets neutered to protect them from Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) is a cat-specific virus similar to the HIV virus. FIV is spread via cat bites, most commonly seen in unneutered cats, which sadly has no cure. The vet charity has revealed that nearly one million cats in the UK are not neutered – meaning they are at greater risk of contracting the deadly disease. Many owners remain unaware of FIV, which can lead to the breakdown of a cat’s immune system. Cats with FIV can live
for long periods where they appear healthy and show no signs of illness, but in the later stages of the disease their immune system begins to struggle and sadly, if they start to suffer they may need to be euthanised. With no vaccine available in the UK, neutering cats is the best way to protect them as it reduces the chances of them roaming and coming into conflict with each other. PDSA Vet Olivia AndersonNathan says ‘FIV positive cats do not pose any risk to humans or pets of other species, and the disease is spread through cat bites, a territorial behaviour most commonly seen in non-
If a cat is diagnosed with FIV it is important for owners to take steps to protect their pet and prevent the risk of them spreading the disease to other cats. Olivia adds ‘FIV-infected cats need special treatment once they’re diagnosed to protect both them and other cats. Infected cats need to be kept indoors to prevent spreading the infection. Contact with other cats, as long as they don’t fight, can be safe – research shows that within stable multi-cat households where there is no fighting, the chance of an FIV positive cat infecting another cat is incredibly low. However introducing any new cats can upset the stability and lead to fighting so isn’t recommended. As a precaution, infected cats can be fed from a different food bowl to reduce the chance of any saliva coming into contact with healthy cats, and hunting or raw diets should be avoided for infected cats as both put them at higher risk of infections without a healthy immune system. A good quality diet, routine preventive care such as vaccinations and flea control, as well as rapid treatment of any other problems will help them lead a relatively normal life.’ She added ‘If you are concerned your cat may have contracted the virus, call your vet for advice. Certain blood tests can help to determine if your cat has become infected, and although incurable, and if FIV is confirmed your vet will be able to recommend ways to manage the condition.’

T
he railway line to Fleetwood became one of the world’s first holiday resort railways when it opened in 1840.
For 130 years it carried holiday and Irish Sea ferry passengers into Fleetwood, and the port’s oncemassive fish trade to the junction for the national network at Poulton-le-Fylde. The line carried its last passengers in June 1970, apart from the occasional enthusiasts’ excursion. The Poulton & Wyre Railway Society was formed in 2006 to reopen the section from Poulton to Fleetwood. Network Rail issued a clearance licence to allow Society volunteers access to their section of the line from Poulton to the Cala Gran Caravan Park and Highways England issued one from there to Jameson Road bridge in order to clear vegetation and repair boundary fencing.
Poulton & Wyre Railway Society
Over the past decade PWRS volunteers have removed tons of rubbish and vegetation from the track. Fencing has been repaired, and some of the track sleepers needed replacing. A new footpath across the rail track has been installed for the Wyre Coastal Path to replace a previous very muddy crossing. Thornton and Burn Naze are unrecognisable from the littered, weedstrewn, plant-choked stations of ten years ago. The ultimate achievement would be to have a fully operational heritage railway from Poulton to Fleetwood, with regular trains running from a transport hub in Fleetwood to link with mainline services at Poulton via a new platform. A separate commuter (community) service using good quality refurbished rolling stock could operate daily and support local transport needs. Thornton and Burn Naze stations would be brought back into use and a new Fleetwood South station established at Jameson Road for passengers to and from Farmer Parr’s Animal Park and the Fleetwood caravan parks. The station would also be close to the bus stop on Fleetwood Road. At present all clearance work is carried out by just a few enthusiastic PWRS volunteers at each site. Some members have undertaken grant-funded certified weed control courses at Myerscough College, to operate our industrial standard weed and brush cutters and to be responsible for the chemical treatment of all types or weeds and shrubs to keep the rail track and corridor clear. 58
However, the PWRS is desperate for more volunteer support from anyone who can offer a few hours per week, usually on Wednesday or Saturday mornings at each of the above venues. All relevant training will be given and full health and safety policies are strictly complied with. Our present teams offer a great social atmosphere with refreshment breaks when appropriate. Appropriate working clothing can be supplied and Hi Viz outfits are mandatory when working on the rail corridor. If you feel you may be able to offer some time to assist the PWRS achieve its vision as above, please contact the PWRS Secretary in the first instance to arrange an initial chat and site visit to any of the above working areas of interest. PWRS Chairman & Secretary: Brian Crawford, tel. 01253 975757. Find out more info at www.pwrs.org and www. facebook.com/pwrailway
