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 the Handbridge, Curzon Park, Westminster Park &
Hough Green areas and 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!

Thethe Diamond Jubilee Bringing Art to Street Have you spotted a Klimt in Curzon Park, a Van Gogh in Vicars Cross and a Botticelli in Boughton? Somerville’s Estate Agents are bringing well known works of art to the street with their popular arty ‘For Sale’ boards. The unique boards feature paintings from wellknown artists and make an eye-catching and welcome change from the run-of-themill ‘For Sale’ boards. Richard Wheeler, Director of Somerville’s said “We like to stand out from the crowd and we want our properties to stand out too. We’ve had a lot of compliments about our art boards. People really like them.” One vendor, Mr Pugh from Handbridge, is delighted with his board. “We have Van Gogh’s Irises on our board. It’s one of my wife’s favourite paintings. It’s such a clever idea to put these works of art on the ‘For Sale’ boards. It certainly makes a change from some of the ugly boards you see and brings some added interest to the street!”

ON THE BEAT with Police Community Support Officer Chris Fox
We’re watching your speed! After a number of complaints about vehicles breaking the speed limit on Lache Lane myself and the local Policing team have placed enforcing the speed limit as a local priority. Over the past month the speed gun has been deployed on Lache Lane on numerous occasions at all time of day. Over 50 vehicles have been reported for speeding offences along Lache Lane. Hopefully motorists getting reported for offences and realizing that enforcement is happening regularly around the location will slow down motorists on Lache Lane and neighbouring roads.
Please call 101 if you have any issues to report. Also my e mail address is Christopher.fox@cheshire.pnn.police.uk. Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month: Chester Street, Saltney – 9am-10.15am Westminster Park Shops – 10.30am – 11.45am Handbridge – Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn – 12noon-1pm.

Underneath the A The Handbridge Community Association are rolling up their sleeves ready to renovate the area known as ‘The Arches’; the cut-through between Prenton Place and the Carlton Tavern, writes Jess Pamphlett. It is used every day by residents, including families and young people walking to Queens Park High School, but has recently become a tunnel of despair, with litter along the walkways and dangerous and illegal items hidden amongst the laurel bushes. We are in the process of applying for funding to cover the cost of clearing the overgrown bushes and shrubs, which block out the light and afford ample cover for antisocial or illegal behaviour. Our initial ideas were to add planters and bird boxes to make an attractive wildlife area, potentially with some artwork by Queens Park High School students who have leapt at the opportunity to improve their community and make it safer! Following various discussions and meetings with representatives from Cheshire West Council, Street Scene, the Police and future Chester Mayor Razia Daniels, the HCA are making this area our main environmental focus for 2017. We have started an informal consultation with residents, and would welcome ideas and suggestions from Overleigh Roundabout readers who live in the area. Get in touch on our Facebook page where the consultation questions are, or on Twitter @HandbridgeCA. What would you like to see in that area? Have you witnessed any fly tipping or antisocial behaviour? What would make that area an asset rather than an eyesore? We want to hear from you!

Students get competitive for Children in Need Student houses at Queen’s Park High School have been in competition with each other to see who can raise the most money for Children in Need. Eaton, Grosvenor and Westminster Houses sold official merchandise; wristbands and keyrings from house stalls throughout the week, each house was set the challenge to develop creative ideas which would engage both staff and students, which resulted in sponge the teacher photo booths, bottle flipping competitions and a sponsored silence. The final outcome was a grand total of £1336 raised with Westminster House raising £584, Grosvenor £427 and Eaton £325.

SKIN TAGS, MILIA, CAMPBELL D SEBORRHOEIC WARTS, COMMO We are all affected by one or many of the above mentioned during our lifetime. Although none are life threatening they can be unsightly, or in the case of verrucae painful and warts can bleed if they are knocked or scratched. Many grow in size if left untreated. Seborrhoeic keratosis warts can grow very large and can even merge into one another. They appear mainly on the torso after the age of 40. They are flat, dark brown or black, on the surface of the skin and have a stuck on appearance.

Milia are small whiteheads most commonly seen on the face. They feel like tiny hard pearls under the skin. They are formed when the skin is dehydrated and oil and skin debris becomes trapped under the layer of dry skin. Prevention is keeping the skin well moisturised, regular gentle exfoliation and in salon facial peels which will accelerate moisturisation and exfoliation.

DE MORGAN CHERRY SPOTS, MON WARTS AND VERRUCAE Skin tags are stalks with a mushroom appearance on the surface of the skin. They are usually caused by friction. They are commonly found on the neck, under the arms, under the breasts. They are viral, and can appear singularly or in groups. Campbell de Morgan cherry spots appear in adults on the torso with age. The red spots vary in size and are dome shaped or raised. At Hough Green Clinic we treat all the above by Cryotherapy using the CryoPen. The CryoPen is an excellent solution for removing skin imperfections quickly and effectively. It emits a fine jet of nitrous oxide under high pressure with millimetre precision. This means there will be no collateral damage to
healthy tissue. It is incredibly accurate and with minimal discomfort. A full consultation is carried out before treatment. Small imperfections are usually treated successfully after one treatment, whereas larger verrucae, warts or seborrhoeic keratosis warts may need additional treatment. Treatments start at £50.

Why You Need A Will By Nina Sperring of Hoole-based Bartletts Solicitors Making a Will is something most of us think about doing but many of us fail to actually do – and the consequences can be severe. Did you know that dying without a Will means having no say over what happens to your property and possessions? If you die and don’t have a current Will, your estate is dealt with according to the rules of intestacy rather than according to your wishes. This can mean loved ones don’t inherit it and can create more stress and financial strain for your family at an already distressing time. More than two in three individuals don’t have an up-to-date Will, which means that more than two-thirds of us run the risk of dying intestate and having no control over the distribution of our estates. Your estate is everything you own, including property and valuables as well as liabilities and debt. If you die without a Will, loved ones may not inherit as the rules of intestacy can be unfair and fail to consider your personal circumstances. For example, under inheritance law in England and Wales, unmarried couples or step children are not acknowledged, so partners and step children would not automatically inherit.
26 To advertise call 350398
The consequences of not making a Will can be devastating for family members – and for you. Without a Will: l You have no say over what happens to your assets, including property l If you co-habit, your partner won’t automatically inherit l If you’re married, your spouse may not inherit as much as you wish l Your family and loved ones could face additional time delays, costs and stress l You will likely pay more inheritance tax l If you have no surviving relative who can inherit, your estate passes to the Crown Making a Will gives you control over what happens when you die – you decide how your possessions, including property and jewellery, are to be divided amongst family and friends. Furthermore, you can appoint a Guardian to care for your children should you die when they’re young. The Wills and Probate team at Bartletts Solicitors Hoole Office will take the time to understand your individual situation and exactly what you’d like to happen to your estate, and help you to write the most effective Will for you and your loved ones. l Contact us on 01244 311633 or email advice@bartletts.co.uk

No town council for Chester! I write to report on the response to the offer by CCV UK to some 70,000 residents of Chester’s unparished wards the opportunity to contact us expressing an interest in the holding of a meeting to discuss the possibility of a Town Council for Chester. Given only four individuals (0.000057%) contacted us to express an active interest in attending such a meeting it is clear that there is no adequate interest in the proposal, and I therefore write now to confirm that CCV UK will not be pursuing this matter further on our own part or that of any others. The few who told us they were not interested in this idea were a mix of people either satisfied with the service CWAC and its councillors provides or alternatively hostile to our local government and to the possibility of another costly level of party political control over their lives. For our part we now consider this matter closed. Reg Barritt General Secretary, Chester Community Voice UK Hartington Street, Handbridge, Chester

animal behaviour
Years 12 and 13 psychology students enjoyed a trip to Chester Zoo and a chance to learn about animal behaviour in their environment and how it links to human behaviour. The two workshops which are interactive relate the research by Psychologists and animal behaviours and the evolution of human intelligence to the AQA syllabus. The day was enjoyed by viewing chimpanzees, spider monkeys and orang-utans and a first glimpse of the new baby elephant.
ries for QP rowers Wins came from (left to right): l Kiera Burke and Zara Gautier-price also in year 10 competing in their double. l Gwilym Harris in year 10 who was racing in the year 11 category. l James Cox from year 8 in his single.
l And Dylan Howard and James Cox who are in year 8 achieved a 1st place by beating their 2nd place opponent by 25 seconds. This event also saw Kiara, Gracie and Josh W from year 8 taking part for the very first time.

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH
FABULOUS SPRING COLOURS THE background of brown and grey that we have had over the last few months of winter have given way to fresh new green leaves on trees and shrubs. In my garden in a north facing area and in full sun I have many self seeded Aquilegia or Grannies Bonnet. These are trouble free plants if your soil remains relatively moist. Slugs seem not to bother them, they don’t take up much space, seed easily and come in a range of colours. The stems will get to 75cm tall and they flower over a long period. Let the flower heads go to seed and shake the dried seeds in the garden then wait for them to germinate. Spring is also the time you will see Aubretia draped over walls and rockeries. They form mats of very low foliage and do best in dry areas on walls or in pots. To keep them looking good for next year, cut back the flowering shoots hard after flowering. Shrubs also get going in April and if you love bright yellow, how about the cheerful Kerria. This produces long stems 2m high studded with single or double bright yellow flowers. It expands by sending out suckers, similar in habit to Raspberry Janet Heath Garden Mentor
canes but if allowed room, will give a splash of colour as you can see from the photo. Cut back old stems after flowering keeping younger stems for next year. Will grow in any soil except light sandy soils. Magnolias are the super stars of spring with their cupped flowers in white or pink. Very hardy trees or large shrubs but as the flowers are damaged by frost and wind they need a site sheltered from early morning sun and strong wind. Soil should be slightly acid or neutral and preferably moisture retentive. Be warned, some can become large, wide trees so go for small varieties such as Susan or Magnolia stellata varieties which are more suitable for smaller gardens. Plenty to get on with in the vegetable garden. If you planted early potatoes, make sure you earth up the new shoots as they show to protect from frost. Plant lettuce, radishes, peas and carrots in the soil under cloches to keep temperatures high enough for germination. Indoors you can plant seeds of tomatoes, marrows and courgettes in pots on a windowsill or wait till May when temperatures are higher.
