FRIENDS of Stanney Fields Park are hoping for a good turn-out for their family fun day on 13th August. The free event at the park, near the Civic Hall, has lots of attractions and, weather permitting, is a good day out. In the August edition we have pictures from the Neston Village Fair, Woodfall, Neston and Parkgate Primary Schools, Neston ATC and a revamp for the railway station as well as the usual what’s on guide, business directory and much more.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Alan Ball feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is 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 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving
people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Neston, Parkgate, Little Neston, Burton and Ness
& Alan is finding that his 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.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Alan a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

The Geberit AquaClean range is comfortable and stylish too. And with a model to suit every style of home, it would make a perfect addition to your new spa-like bathroom.
Q I’m really interested in buying a Geberit toilet with a spray function, but I have heard they’re very expensive. Are there any more affordable alternatives?
Bliss
Bathroom
Well known and respected local bathroom and wetroom experts, Wirral Wetrooms have announced a massive quarter of a million pound investment and expansion project. Pulling on their industry leading design skills and extensive experience, the team have planned a show-stopping new look that is set to revolutionise their Irby showroom.
The first phase of the expansion to their upstairs showroom has begun with renovations to incorporate fully functional bathrooms settings including 10 operational showers and 12 working basins and taps all with the latest digital technology. Added to this under floor heating and a working sauna so clients can really ‘soak up’ the full Wirral Wetrooms offering. Owner Dave Sergison commented, ‘Customers will literally be able to
get a live demo of all the must-have bathroom accessories. You can turn showers on, see how they perform on different settings and see for yourself how the valves and knobs work. There will be full audio visual equipment along with high-tech LED lighting throughout.’
And you can even spend-a penny by sampling the fabulous new Geberit Aquaclean! Finally, complete the picture by choosing from a selection of their stunning tiles and you really be able to create a ‘tried and tested’ space to be proud of. Heart of Irby Village Dave and the team have always supported the local community in Irby and the surrounding areas, and played a part in the life and soul of the village and love being there,
Dave commented “We recognised Irby as a great place to stay and grow in, we like the space we are in. We’ve taken on 2 apprentices and making this significant investment into the building can only improve it.” “Our new showroom will be completely unique for the Wirral, and will revolutionise the experience of buying a new bathroom for our customers. We want nothing more than people to come in and try them out for themselves, even down to taking your shoes off and feel the under floor heating, you can even take a shower if you are game, we don’t mind!” And with service and quality and experience that is second to none, your will be sure to find your slice of Bathroom Bliss, right here in the heart of Irby.
A You don’t have to spend a vast amount of money to purchase a Geberit toilet. There are also less expensive models in the range such as the Geberit AquaClean 4000. This compact loo seat is designed to replace your existing loo seat and is straightforward to install, as it fits on the existing seat.
Q Should I be concerned about how much water is used in spray-function toilets? A The Geberit AquaClean 4000 only uses 400ml of water at each use, and although this is more than a normal loo, there are positive environmental aspects to this choice, such as using less toilet paper. Water, chemicals and other raw materials are wasted in the production of toilet paper, and while it’s biodegradable, the process still leaves chemical traces in our water supply.

The prices are competitive and with excellent customer service, 100% customer satisfaction and with every aspect of your bathroom completed to the highest quality, what more could you want? Oh, and by the way customers receive a freshly made cup of their favourite coffee, latte, cappuccino or espresso when they visit the showroom! Wirral Wetrooms really do appreciate being part of their community and like to participate in helping with Friends of Irby Library. Their latest venture, I was informed, is a sponsored charity parachute jump, which seven of the team will be undertaking to raise money for the Catterbridge Cancer Charity.

Friends of West Vale Park FUN DAY
DAY
SUNDAY 7th AUGUST 1-4pm
This year our annual Family Fun Day will be held on Sunday 7th August between 1pm and 4pm at the park in West Vale, Little Neston. This will be our 6th annual event. In 2014 when a consultation was carried out, the younger children asked for some sports day races in which they could compete and the teenagers asked for something more challenging. With this in mind there will be a six metre high climbing wall for those who are adventurous and nine hole crazy golf activity for all the family to try out their skills. There will also be an old fashioned coconut shy plus a tin can alley for little people. The races will be for younger children only and include egg and spoon, sack race, obstacle course. The sports day fun will begin about 2.30pm. The small animals workshop is always popular with children who enjoy getting hands on experience with unusual creatures and the craft table will give them an m opportunity to create a small masterpiece of their own. Thanks to funding from the Town Council and our Little Neston and Burton Cheshire West and Chester Councillors Louise Gittins and Nigel Jones, all the activities will, as usual, be free. There will be an opportunity to stock up on ore roofing tiles some second hand books on a stall for the locally based Matthews and Monk charity. Hot drinks can be purchased from the Kandoo Coffee mobile van and there will, of course, be the cake stall.

LEGAL MATTERS Legal Column with Jackie Campion, Principal Solicitor at Campion Solicitors
Don’t put off making a Will IN recent articles, we have explained about the importance of having an up to date Will, and how important it is your family and Executors know the whereabouts of the original document. Safe Storage The importance of the secure storage of the original cannot be underestimated. The Probate Registry, the Court that grants permission to Executors to act in an estate, will almost invariably refuse to acknowledge the existence of a Will if the original is not supplied. The requirement on the Registrar is to presume it has been deliberately destroyed or superseded, so a copy will just not do. The estate would be administered as intestate; as if you had left no Will at all. It has also happened that a more recent Will has been lost, but an original older one found, and the provisions of the older Will have been applied. Obviously, this could be very different to the more recent wishes. As an example, if William Shakespeare’s Will had been lost, then the executors would not have known of the provision “I gyve unto my wief my second best bed.”
The Last Catch 22 Many will be familiar with the origin of ‘Catch 22’, and if not familiar with the origin, it is in almost universal usage, and there can be a catch 22 when it comes to Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney. In order to prepare or instruct a valid Will or Lasting Power of Attorney you are required to possess what is known as ‘testamentary capacity’. This is the legal term to describe someone who understands what they are doing and the provisions and decisions they are making.
Many people whilst fit and healthy, and it is understandable, don’t think about the legal implication or impact if they should die, or become unable though illness to manage their affairs. As a result, the need for a Will or Attorney might only be acknowledged when the person no longer has this ‘testamentary capacity’, and so therefore cannot make a Will or appoint an Attorney. In such cases, in the event of death, the rules of intestacy would apply, and the estate administered and distributed quite possibly very differently to the persons wishes. In the event of incapacity, then application has to be made to the Court of Protection to establish ‘Deputyship’ and it is quite common for the Deputy appointed to be a professional or local authority with no prior relationship to the person. A will does far more than most people think. In a will you can: l Make funeral instructions. l Make specific gifts. l Donate to charity. l Gift sentimental items. l Appoint guardians for children. l Exclude beneficiaries. l Mitigate inheritance tax. l Avoid intestacy. Please, don’t put it off any longer; make a Will.

Woodfall pupils take a dip Woodfall Primary School’s ECO Club went pond dipping during a visit to Lees Lane Ponds in Little Neston. On their way to the ponds they collected litter with the litter pickers. Sadly, there was a great deal that could harm and spoil the environment. While there, they were split into groups to pond dip. One group found a little fish and some groups could use the underwater camera and microscope.

LETTER FROM WESTMINSTER by Ellesmere Port and Neston MP Justin Madders
Justin Madders, the Labour MP for Ellesmere Port and Neston, and Shadow Health Minister, gives his thoughts on the consequences of Britain’s decision to leave the EU.
Brexit: What next?
W
HAT will the next couple of years hold for the country in light of the decision to leave the EU?
Although I was disappointed by the result I was not surprised by it. I have talked to enough people in the constituency in recent times to know that whilst there were many people who wished to remain in the EU, particularly because of the economic arguments and the risk to local jobs, there were more who wished to see us leave. There is no doubt though that across the country the result has deeply divided the nation and even locally many people have been contacting me to request that a second referendum be held. However, as a democracy, we have to accept the result and now work to get the best for the andQualified the country. RFSconstituency Cert Arb & NPTC StaffThat for me in particular means doing our utmost to Fully Insured Domestic & Commercial ensure that General Motors are given every encouragement to continue to invest in the local plant.

What happens next is uncertain but the process for us leaving is likely to take several Dismantling andbe Clearance years and there will a huge number of massive decisions to be made about what our relationship in the future with Europe and the rest of the world. Central to that will be HedgeisMaintenance whether Stump we are still able to access the European Single Market which is of course key to Removal us being able to export our goods without tariffs being applied. It seems one of the likely Tree Surveys and reports conditions of continued access would be freedom of movement of labour but I have no doubt from what people have said to me that one of the biggest reasons they voted to Free Estimates & Advice leave the EU was because of concerns over immigration.

Why put up with your window & door problems?.. …when we offer low cost window, door and conservatory repairs WindowGeeks is a local window & door repair expert. The company name says it all. But us 'Geeks' don't just fix windows, we are called out to mend problem front doors, patio doors and conservatories too. And with many homeowners battling with the extremes of good old british weather, we find our low-cost services are in high demand throughout the year. “Replacing misted-up or broken double glazed units and glass is only a small part of what we do,” says Ian, who runs WindowGeeks in the Chester & Wirral area. “We are often called out to fix a fair amount of draughty & leaking windows, helping our customers keep the warmth they're paying for inside. And, with the weather playing havoc with hardware, we’re kept busy fixing
lots of jammed or faulty window & door locks, hinges & handles too” “So, don’t just accept from anyone else that you need a brand new entire door or window” Ian adds, “as we can probably repair your existing problem for far less. And, in the rare event that we can’t fix it for you, then we can also give you a competitive price on a top quality replacement, so remember to call us first” Saving money gets most people's attention; whether it's helping to reduce energy bills or providing a simple repair that saves thousands over new double gazing. “But”, says Ian, “it's the company's reputation that makes us stand out, and it’s why most of our new customers are introduced to us through referrals”.
“This is my business, and it's one that's based on trust,” he says. “We will only charge you for what actually needs doing, and we always deliver on our promises. That's good old-fashioned customer service – nothing more – but it spreads fast through word-of-mouth.” We don’t employ salesmen and we provide free quotations with: • No call out charges, No minimum order values, No credit card charges • No deposits, 10 year manafacturer’s guarantee on all Glazed products • All quotes include VAT and Fitting, With NO HIDDEN EXTRAS

Sporty pupils enjoy a V PUPILS at Neston Primary School enjoyed a very busy ‘Sports Week’ recently. The week began with an opening ceremony, with each class representing a different country. The children learnt about famous sportsmen and women from each country, the Olympic pledge was read out and the school’s Olympic flame was lit. During the week a range of activities were organised and the children had the opportunity to try their hand at a number of Olympic and Paralympic sports – including -archery, shot-put, boccia and hockey. The annual Sports Days also took place during the week and, although the weather was not the best, the children thoroughly enjoyed taking part and competing against their classmates. The events included traditional activities including the egg and spoon race, the sack race and balancing a bean-bag on your head (which is not yet an Olympic sport!) Infant children took part in a sponsored walk around the school grounds, Year 3 children took part in a sponsored swim and the pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 walked to and from Hadlow Station. After school on the Thursday the school also held a Summer Fair. There were a number of stalls and attractions. Members of the Year 6 Class had the ‘pleasure’ of sitting in the stocks as their parents, relatives and friends threw water at them. At the end of the week a closing ceremony was held the children reported back on the events and activities. The Olympic flame was extinguished and the flags lowered.

ATC learn CPR!
Neston Air Cadets, including staff, cadets and committee members, joined together to take part in a Heartstart refresher course. For some, the evening was to gain their qualification, for others, it was a chance to spruce up techniques and catch up on any changes in the way that CPR, a crucial lifesaving technique, is delivered. The evening was a total success, with special thanks to Flt Lt Hall, who delivered the programme.

Station gets a makeover THE transformation of Neston Station and surrounding area continued with the redecoration of the underpass. The overall initiative is led by Neston Town Council but includes important contributions from Arriva Trains Wales, the Neston Station Adopter group, Neston Primary School and Neston High School. The train operator has provided new bins and repaired the shelters and their funding was used by past Town Mayor Pat Hughes, the lead station adopter, to pay for the impressive display of flowers that now adorns the platforms and station

Deputy Mayor Cllr Ceri Lloyd, who with former councillor Phil Lloyd championed the project, said: “The station is an

important gateway to Neston and we need it to convey the energy and optimism of the town. We are grateful to all parties who have contributed to this improvement and especially to the young people whose ideas and hard work created the mural under Andy’s guidance. We plan to go further by improving the Raby Road entrance to the station in due course. We hope that many people will go and have a look at these improvements and also take the opportunity to check out all the occasions they have to leave the car at home and use the train for work and leisure.�
