Local News

Humber MPs Flood Meeting Andrew hosted a meeting between local MPs and the Environment Agency recently to discuss progress on the Humber Flood Strategy. The meeting follows a similar meeting with Flood Minister, Rory Stewart MP, in January where the local MPs pushed the case for a 10 year funding settlement for the Humber. Over £80 million has been committed by the Government to flood defence projects along the Humber and tributary rivers between now and 2020 to support this strategy. In total £350 million is being spent in East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire during this period on flood and drainage schemes. The Environment Agency updated the MPs on progress on these schemes and discussed how the strategy can move forward, particularly given the recent announcement of an addition £700 million for flood defences in this Parliament. Humber MPs are working together to ensure that the Humber Strategy properly reflects the needs and priorities of the area.

Andrew Percy MP explains, “No constituency in our area is at greater risk of flooding than Brigg and Goole which is why I have always prioritised fighting for improved flood defences. We have been successful in seeing many improvements locally

but the focus remains getting a decade long funding commitment to improvements along the Humber, Ouse, Aire and Trent. Local MPs are working closely together to ensure that maximum pressure is applied to get such a commitment and to ensure that this strategy delivers for the public. The Humber Strategy is presently being updated to reflect recent flooding events and we should have a better idea next year of what it will propose for defences in our area. The Humber is of strategic importance to the UK and contains some nationally important assets. As such we must be properly defended and that is what we are working towards. I am also clear that whether people live in our big towns and cities, or our smaller villages, we expect a proper level of protection and that is what we are all working towards.”

The Right Starting Line for Your Interior Design Brief Interior design guru Hilary Brien explains why every design project needs a tight brief.

You know that great ’70s classic by the incomparable Shirley Bassey? The torch song inspired by the age-old question: Where do I begin? Pretty much every time I get asked that question, Shirley’s song runs through my mind. And, during a Q&A session or media interview, that song gets quite a bit of mental airtime.

“Where do I begin?” seems to be what most people want to know when they’re thinking about redesigning a room, followed by “Should I start with a particular colour? What is the right floor? Which style is the correct one?” This is putting the cart before the horse. To start, and to succeed, you need to go back a step or two.

House & Home The first thing to think about before considering a project of your own is something every designer or architect does on first meeting with a client: define a brief. It’s such a simple and integral part of the design process, but most people don’t spend enough time on it – or indulge in the kind of drilled down attention to detail that is required at the beginning of a project.

The design brief arises from that conversation between designer and client, but if you’re projectmanaging a job yourself, this will be a discussion between you and any other stakeholders (your partner and possibly children)

and the lead trade (the builder). It should be a free-fl owing discussion about desires and challenges, outcomes and constraints. From this discussion, and with a reasonable amount of insight and intuition, the designer – or you – can elicit enough information to flesh out answers to the following questions: What is the space? What is it used for? Who

What are the maintenance and safety needs? What works in the space now and what needs to change? What are the must-haves and must-nots?

With these parameters in place it’s easy to create a clear picture of what the room needs to do, what it should feel like and what needs to be acquired to bring your space together. This set of boundaries will give you the freedom to search far and wide for the things that will help you achieve the look you want. After that comes the sourcing stage – which means there’s shopping to be done! But that’s probably another article in itself.

Hilarys Top Tips for a Dining Room Existing furniture

Pieces with history often make for the most interesting results. For example, the owners of this Goole home (right) wanted to retain their 1930s timber table. I took everything else out of the room then looked at the on-brief items I’d found to see what might work with the table. This filter made it easier to devise a new look, with the table as the star.

Table shape

Use a to-scale floor plan (electronically or on graph paper) to test what size and shape works best. Round tables take up a lot of room but they’re great for conversation. Rectangular tables suit most layouts, though the longer they are, the harder conversation becomes. Square tables add interest, but if too large the centre becomes unreachable.

Chairs

A big room allows for grander statements but for small areas, or a more contemporary look, avoid high-backed chairs – they eat spaceand look more at home in a traditional interior. If you have children, choose durable or wipe-clean fabrics.

How to add space and value to your home

Whether you need more space but can’t afford to move, or want to sell your house on, it makes sense to make the most of what you’ve got. Ivan Plows of Bluecotes Property shares six tips.

1. Extensions “A well-planned extension nearly always adds value,” says Ivan. “But look at house prices in your local area to gauge how much value another bedroom will add to your property - be careful not to overdevelop.” 2. Conservatory If you need more space another option is a conservatory. They can be a quick, cheap way to boost your home’s appeal, and generally you don’t need planning permission to build. 3. Planning permission If you are worried about paying for planning permission - typically around £300 - and not getting approval, do a little bit of research before you submit your plan. “Look at the other properties on your street, this will give you an idea of the type of projects that are likely to get planning permission as precedents may have been set by neighbours’ developments,” says Ivan.

To contact

4. Internal changes Before you fork out for an extension, consider whether you can increase the space and potential by changing the internal layout instead. 5. Side extensions Side extensions may not add much floor space but they are a lot cheaper and can make a big difference to how you use your space. 6. Gardens Don’t destroy your garden. “Building an extension at the expense of your garden can actually reduce the value of your home,” warns Ivan. “Outside space is always desirable for future buyers - it’s important to get the balance right.”

Council warning over illegal dog breeders People looking for a new puppy or dog are being urged to do their homework and make sure they buy from a reputable and licensed breeder. East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s licensing team is currently investigating five allegations of illegal breeding and is warning people to be aware of the dangers of buying a puppy or a dog from someone who is not licensed or may be from a puppy farm.

Anyone breeding dogs as a business – selling two or more litters in a year is considered to be a business – and the council enforces dog breeding legislation to protect the welfare of dogs used for breeding by setting standards relating to issues such as accommodation, food, water, bedding disease control as well as limiting the number of litters a female can have. Unlicensed breeders may illegally import puppies into the UK and they are often sold online or via newspaper adverts or in car parks. They can often be accompanied by incomplete or forged documents that lead the buyer to think the dog has been imported legally. Before buying a puppy the council advises people to: l check the puppy has been vaccinated but to also be aware that vaccination cards are easy to fake – if the vet’s contact details are not visible or has a non-UK address the card may be false l ask to see a pet passport – imported puppies must have a pet passport or a vet’s certificate confirming it is microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, treated for worms and was over three months and 21 days when it was imported l ask to see the puppy with its mother l ask to see the father too, or at least a photo of the father – be suspicious if the breeder cannot show you the mother or father

To contact

l pedigree certificates are not a guarantee for the condition of the dog and may not even mean the puppy is pedigree – people should contact The Kennel Club for details of accredited breeder schemes. Councillor Shaun Horton, portfolio holder for community involvement and local partnerships at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Anyone thinking of buying a puppy or a dog should check the legitimacy of the breeder. “Dog breeding can be a lucrative business and those unlicensed breeders who aim to make money will often cut corners and sacrifice animal welfare. “The law on dog breeding is very clear and is in place for two key reasons – to ensure a high standard of welfare for animals and to give peace of mind to members of the public that they are buying from a reputable breeder. “Any breeders found operating without a license are committing a criminal offence and could face prosecution or a fine.” Details of The Kennel Club’s accredited breeder scheme can be found at: www.thekennelclub.org.uk If you are aware of any unlicensed dog breeders in the East Riding email East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s licensing team at: licensing@eastriding.gov.uk

Tick Prevention This is the time of year when ticks are most active. They can transmit potentially fatal diseases, such as Lyme disease, to both pets and humans so it is important to remove any found on your pet and to adopt an effective tick prevention programme.

Pets Corner not attempt to pull them out with tweezers or to burn them off as this can leave the head stuck inside your pet’s skin, causing pain and infection.

Twisting them off your pet is the best method of removal and your vet will be able to recommend a special purpose-made hook device to make this easier. Once removed, rub a little antiseptic onto the area.

They feed by attaching to your pet and sucking blood. If a tick infected with Lyme disease bites a human, a rash and swelling develops around the bite, making early diagnosis easier. However, pets do not develop any rash.

What to do if your car is recalled Cars are recalled by the manufacturer or governmental road safety agency when a fault is identified after a vehicle has been manufactured. The fault will be linked to vehicle safety and it could be months or even years after the car went on sale. The onus in on the manufacturer of the vehicle, rather than the owner, to put things right. My car has been recalled. Should I be worried? While there are some instances, such as the recent recall (for the second time) of Vauxhall Zafiras catching fire, that will cause owners concern, for the most part recalls are for smaller fixes to ensure reliability or, in the case of the VW emissions scandal, compliance with the rules.

But what exactly do you need to do if you think your vehicle is the subject of a recall? First things first, what you don’t need to do is change cars. The rising number of recalls issued by manufacturers is actually a sign that they are being more proactive than in the past.

How long will it take for my car to be fixed? The length of time it takes for recall work to be carried out depends on the fault in question. It could be anything from a five-minute fix to something that takes several hours. At the most extreme end of the scale, the manufacturer might instruct you not to drive your car until the work has been completed, but this is rare. Porsche took this decision when two of its £100,000 911 GT3 models caught fire. After telling owners not to use their cars, it traced the problem and set about fitting every car it sold with a new engine. If you’re unsure whether your car has been the subject of a recall, you can check at the VOSA recall search page at: https://www.gov.uk/check-if-a-vehicle-has-been-recalled

Put simply, manufacturers cannot afford not to take the matter seriously, either for the short-term compensation claims from any accidents or injuries caused by manufacturing faults, or long-term loss of consumer confidence. Combine this with the increasingly large number of components shared between models and even manufacturers, and the result is that when recalls do happen they will more than likely be on a large scale. In the UK alone, it’s not unusual for a single recall to apply to 100,000 cars or more, sometimes from more than one manufacturer. Worldwide, the biggest ever recall was for 14 million vehicles (carried out by Ford in 2009). How recalls work Once a problem has been registered with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) it authorises the DVLA to supply the details of all current owners to the relevant manufacturer. Owners are then contacted directly, either by phone, email or a letter in the post, and the manufacturer will organise a repair at the dealer most convenient to them. This will be free of charge. Toyota, which has suffered more bad press from recalls than most but has been very proactive following bad press over a recall in 2010 concerning “unintended acceleration”, has even created a recall checker page on its website.

The Importance of Preparing and Knowing Your Soil Whether you sow your seeds directly in the ground or sow crops under cover first and then plant them out, preparing your soil in advance is crucial. Start by identifying your soil type and pH so you can decide whether you need to make any changes; some crops cope better than others in certain conditions. The best time to dig over your plot is between mid-fall and mid-springâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;break up compacted soil, remove any weeds, and work in plenty of organic matter, such as well-rotted garden compost, to improve yields.

Understanding soil types The type of soil you have plays an important role in how well your crops grow. Most plants have preferred conditionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as warm, light, well-drained, or cool and moisture retentive. The soil you have also affects how you manage it for the best results and how easy it is to work with. The first step is to identify the soil type you have and to check it in different parts of the garden.

by regularly digging in well-rotted organic matter such as garden compost, manure, leaf mold, or bark chips. This organic matter will act like a sponge to help absorb moisture and fertilizers you apply, while at the same time allowing the soil structure to remain airy and open. Clay soils Clay soils have the opposite qualities to sandy types; they are moisture retentive fertile, but slow to warm in spring and are heavy to dig. They are also very sticky when wet, often becoming waterlogged, and are prone to baking solid during summer dry spells. Moderate clay soils are good for growing most crops, especially if improved by digging in well-rotted

Sand, silt, and chalk soils Soils that contain a high proportion of sand drain very freely and lose nutrients quickly, although they warm up rapidly in spring. They are light and easy to dig but need regular watering and feeding throughout the year. Soils rich in silt and chalk particles also drain freely but retain nutrients better, which makes them better suited to growing crops. All three types can be made more moisture- and nutrient-retentive

KEEP HEALTHY - START GARDENING So many reasons to get down and dirty—even if you’re just tending a few houseplants. Brain Oddly enough, the repetitive nature of gardening (water, prune, weed, repeat) sparks neural connections that enhance creativity. And nurturing a seed from sprout to plant bolsters brain areas that deal with learning, attention, and memory. The more you garden now, the sharper your mind will stay: Daily diggers can slash their dementia risk by 36 percent. Mood Plant lovers are typically glass half-full types. All that optimism translates to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol—which, in turn, means less anxiety, a cheerier disposition, and a higher sense of self-worth. Bring on those zinnias! Fitness Hunkering down in the soil—or carting around pots—burns a crapton more calories than you might think: 30 minutes of gardening torches around 170 of the little suckers—as many as 30 minutes of shooting hoops would! It’s a workout that also engages your bis, tris, and shoulders, netting you some ripped guns. Heart Plants don’t just cause cortisol to fall. After a short seven minutes around greenery, your blood pressure dips. Couple that with the above fitness boosting benefits, and say hello to a (much) healthier ticker. People who garden for around two hours a week reduce their heart attack chances by 27 percent. Relationships Being near plants is like fertilizer for your rapport with others. Research show that gardeners can be more compassionate toward family, friends, and strangers

(even up-in-your-business neighbours), and they’re better able to build lasting social bonds. Allergies It’s no secret that dirt is…dirty. And teeming with bacteria, which is a surprisingly good thing when it comes to your body’s defenses against allergens. When absorbed into your skin or inhaled by your lungs, “healthy” soil bacteria may help reinforce your immune system’s anti-inflammatory capabilities, aiding you in fighting allergy symptoms like sneezing, an itchy throat and wheezing.

organic matter. If the soil contains a lot of clay and drains very poorly, try growing your crops in raised beds. Loam soils This type of soil contains an even mix of sand, silt, and clay, and is a real God send for growers. It is ideal for most fruit and vegetable crops and needs very little improvement. Acid and alkaline soils Even if your soil is fertile, the crops growing may not be able to absorb all the nutrients they need, which leads to deficiencies. A common cause for this is soil acidity, or pH, which can restrict the availability of certain nutrients to the plants growing there. While it is possible to alter soil pH to suit the crops you’d like to grow, it is a difficult and endless task that is rarely worth the hard work involved. Instead, check the pH of your soil, and grow those crops that grow best in the conditions you have. Brassicas, for example, crop better in alkaline soil, while blueberries must have acidic conditions. Alternatively, if you want to grow crops that don’t suit your soil pH, plant them into raised beds or containers filled with suitable soil or compost.

How to test your soil Soil testing kits are commonly available and are a quick, easy

Please mention

way to find out the pH of your soil (from very acidic (1) to very alkaline (14), with 7 being neutral). Simply shake up a sample of your soil with the testing solution, and then judge the colour against the kit’s pH chart. Perform the test in several places around your garden because the pH may vary greatly, even within one site. An easy way to check your soil type is to roll some between your fingers. Clay soils can be easily molded into balls due to their clinging, sticky texture. Sandy soils are far more crumbly and will not hold together. Loamy soils feel silky and mold quite well. Your soil is likely to be a mixture of all three types, but performing this test will help you to tell which is dominant. Soil cultivation A final consideration is whether to dig the soil over extensively or not. There are two schools of thought, known as the “dig” and “no-dig” approaches. The argument for digging is that it breaks up compacted soil, removes pernicious weeds, incorporates soil improvers, and encourages the deep rooting of crops. A winter dig also exposes pests to predators and cold conditions and helps to break up heavy clods of earth. Most garden soils will benefit from an initial dig. However, there is also an argument for fewer cultivations after

the initial dig. This encourages natural fertility to rise and soil structure to stabilise. Weed seeds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t repeatedly brought to the surface, and worms and other beneficial fauna are undisturbed. Mulches are simply laid on the surface for worms to draw down into the soil. Ultimately, a combined approach is often best. It may be necessary to dig if compacted areas of soil form or if perennial weeds begin to encroach.

FIONA’S WORD

By Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband.

TALKING AMERICAN

I don’t know about your children but if they watch American programmes on television like mine they start “talking American!” You know what I mean. Vite-a-min instead of Vit-amin, prive-acy instead of priv-acy, mob-ul instead of mo-bile. They also come out with “jelly doughnuts” instead of jam doughnuts. Of course, I now think they’ve just started to say things to wind me up because when I start correcting them they start laughing! Now you should never take yourself too seriously, and I don’t, but what they don’t realise is that I’m perfectly happy to laugh along with the joke because I also know they’re taking it all in!

NATURE’S FINEST

If you haven’t yet managed to get down to the first ever

38 Yorkshire Garden Festival at the Heritage Landscape centre

and Seasons café/restaurant in Melton, then you’re missing a treat. I was lucky enough to be asked to be one of the judges and I can tell you I was blown away by the thought and effort that both schools and community projects have put in. The festival, the theme of which is Nature’s Finest, is open until the end of August. The great thing is – you can also be part of the judging process! There’s a special “People’s Award”, judged by members of the public. Just grab a judging slip when you get there and pick your favourites! I found it’s also a great way to be inspired to get on with gardening at home. I’m currently thinking of adding a vegetable plot and a herb garden!
