SO THE DILEMMA OF CARING FOR THE ELDERLY CONTINUES…. When I joined my mother’s agency in 2004, my first thoughts were how appalling the provision of social care was for the elderly. I was so shocked at the lack of foresight. Firstly I made it my priority to provide the best service I could at the best possible price but also to speak out about the problem and play my part in educating people about the value of planning ahead. I researched statistics about the rapidly increasing ageing population. Even before the recession of 2008 it was
obvious that there would not be enough funding, it has been talked about and campaigned about now for over a decade. Finally, in last month’s budget, the government have started to address the situation with the promise of a reasonable amount of money. Of course, it will not be enough and totally dependent on local authorities becoming better organised with the delivery of their social care, so that the elderly are not left stuck in hospital.
PRIVATE CARE THE BEST OPTION
SO WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM?
Our clients go into hospital for a relatively short period, as in most cases it is usually because of infections and dehydration requiring intravenous medication. Because they know they have someone to look after them they can come home as soon as they are on the mend. No bed blocking, no unnecessary financial drain on the NHS, reducing the risk of further infections, thus relieving the acute pressure on the system. Sounds obvious to me! Minimum time in hospital quality care in your own home – more money available for urgent hospital services.
There are now more people over the age of 65 than there are under the age of 18. Half of our clients are now well into their 90’s which is amazing. Despite being fragile, they still have a reasonable quality of life in their own homes. That’s a nice way to end I think. Please start planning. Go to www.bunburyagency.com and read our ‘Time to Talk’ leaflet. It has very useful and comprehensive information about preparing for elderly care.
If you would like to discuss the many care options available, or join our team of carers, please contact us on 01829 260280.

TARPORLEY PARISH COUNCIL Newsletter Planning application for 10 houses The plans for the land at the former Royal British Legion site are now available for all to see via http://pa.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/online-applications/ by putting the planning application number 17/00760/FUL into the search box on the planning page. The plans include knocking down the old clubhouse, providing a 32 space car park at the front on the site, building 10 houses, retaining the current bowling green and around 68% of the existing land for allotments. The Parish Council are holding an extra-ordinary meeting on Monday March 27th at 7pm in the Community Centre, so that members of the public can look at the plans and share their views with them. After the public forum part of this meeting, the Councillors will hold their meeting to decide on their comments about the plans which will be submitted to the planners at Cheshire West and Chester Council for consideration. Members of the public can also submit their own comments to the planners at the address above or by emailing planning@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk. The official closing date for comments is 29th March but generally they accept comments after the closing date, providing it is before the date they consider the application.
Annual Parish Meeting This year, by way of a change, the Annual Meeting will be held on a Saturday morning, on May 13th, at the Community Centre. If any club, society or charity in the village that would like to have a stall at this event, please contact Abbie Webb, our Projects Coordinator, by email to projects@tarporely.org.uk or by phone 01829 732516.
Parish Clerk Vacancy Applications are sought for this post in Tarporley, because our current clerk is leaving at the end of March. Ann Wright will be greatly missed and we wish her well in her post at the Cheshire Association of Local Councils. The vacant position is largely home base, working 12 hours per week providing legal, administrative, financial and management support to the Parish Council. More information can be found on the Tarporley facebook page and at www.chalc.org.uk under vacancies. To apply please send your CV and two references (including one from your recent employer) to clerk@tarporley.org.uk The closing date is Sunday 9th April.
NatWest Bank Closure Despite meetings and petitions, it is with regret that the bank seems on course to close in June. NatWest are helping their customers move to digital banking by providing assistance in the bank on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from their digital expert Anthony Welsh. They have created a new post of Community Banker, who will provide financial assistance and advice on a regular basis in the village after the bank has closed.

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 Tarporley, Tattenhall, Kelsall, Tarvin &
Bunbury 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!

HEALTH & BEAUTY Summer starts in spring! By Angela Bartlett, owner Sensoria Beauty, Grooming & Wellbeing
Angela Bartlett’s Top Tips for getting Summer- ready Every summer clients rush into the salon for treatments to get them ready for their summer holidays. However, if you plan ahead in Spring you can get much better value for your money and more effective results. April is the month to get started on most Summer treatments: • Hair removal: if you want a long-lasting, more permanent hair removal solution then book your IPL sessions now as they need to be scheduled one month apart. IPL is ideal for removal of strong bikini line, leg and underarm hair to give you summer freedom from shaving or waxing. However, if you want to opt for waxing this is the month to get started on that too. Getting several waxes in before your holiday will give you a much better finish for your final ‘holiday wax’. • Feet: sandal-ready feet take time to achieve; booking a pedicure a couple of days before your holiday may not be enough. Hard skin, cracked heels and other foot imperfections take time to address with regular treatment and home care help. Come in and let us take a look at your feet to assess what may be needed before you break out your sandals! • Tans: As with feet, preparation is key. Tans look better on soft, smooth skin so regular body exfoliation & hydrating treatments will give you a much better finish to your tan. Always have a patch test at least 48 hours in advance for tanning products to ensure that you are not allergic to the products and to ensure you will be achieving the shade that you want. • Figure improvement: We’ve all been there! You take out your summer clothes only to find that they no longer fit! Or that the tone of your skin on your legs doesn’t look the same as it did twenty years ago. BioSlimming treatment is fantastic for figure improvement. Sensoria was voted best BioSlimming Salon of the Year for the results achieved, but it is not a miracle cure in one treatment. BioSlimming sessions need to be scheduled one week apart for at least six weeks, so depending on when your holiday is, you may need to start now. For an easy to follow guide on how and when to book your sessions download the Summer Ready Beauty Plan on the blog section at www.sensoriabeauty.co.uk

Alex aims to hit new heights in this country KELSALL’S Alex Staniforth’s next epic challenge is a little closer to home. Alex has dedicated the last few years trying to climb the highest there is - Everest. But a number of factors conspired against him, including an avalanche and acute altitude sickness. His next project “ClimbTheUK” will involve climbing to the highest point of all 100 counties in the United Kingdom in one push. It will take him over 3,500 miles in approximately two months on foot and bike. The journey will be almost entirely human-powered barring a couple of ferries to the Orkney Isles. CTUK is due to start on 8th May to coincide with Mental Health Week on Shining Tor in Cheshire. Alex said: “Sometimes we just have to start and find a way. My route will be open to anyone to join me, follow and be part of the journey. I want to inspire both the young and the wise; and those who haven’t tried. “CTUK will raise as much as possible for Young Minds, the mental health charity. Mental illness affects people of all ages and sizes. Myself included. By engaging every corner of our home turf, we can put the message out there that mental illness is not a sign of weakness.”

Tarporley Talk April 2017 65
Another busy year for T At their Annual General Meeting held at the Vicars Cross Golf Club, over 40 members and friends of Tarvin Tennis Club heard reports of an exceptional year. Their new pavilion is in the final stages of completion, the court lights are up and running, and preparations to celebrate the Club’s 50 years of existence in 2017 are slowly being finalised. There was even a trophy to hail as the Men’s B team won their division in the Chester and District 2016 Summer League! Chairman Rob Millar, whose words were later endorsed by President Barry Cooper, paid tribute to all those members who had worked hard over the years to bring the improved facilities to fruition, from the initial bid for a grant from Sport England and obtaining the necessary planning permission to the organisation and overseeing of the work itself. Of course, the main purpose of the club is to play tennis, and Captains Chris Edwards and Julia Burgess gave encouraging reports on the teams’ various successes (and failures!) during the previous year in both the Winter and Summer League campaigns. American Tournaments were enjoyed and the Club Tournament itself, run over the summer months, was well supported and contested. Wendy Rae with her 8th Ladies Singles trophy. From left: Jane Wilson receives the Ladies’ Doubles trophy from trustees Margaret Dixon and Len Shipley. Men’s Doubles winners, Rob Millar and Peter Nosworthy (who also won his 16th singles title). Mixed Doubles winners, Sarah Mitchell and Graham Bunting.
r Tarvin Tennis Club Trophies were formally presented at the meeting to all the winners. In addition to the above mentioned individuals, Secretary Felicity Pochin and the other six members of the committee were unanimously re-elected to serve in 2017. After eight years as Treasurer, Allyson Clarkson stood down and the Club was pleased to elect Rowena Okell to take her place. Tributes were paid to Allyson for her cheerful and quietly efficient devotion to her task and she was presented with a gift from the Club in appreciation. The Club also expressed their appreciation to Jane Wilson, shortly to leave Cheshire as career opportunity beckons elsewhere, for her many years of contribution to the Club, both on committee and as a team captain and player. Jane managed to finish as a Ladies Doubles champion for the fifth time and the Club wished her well in the future.

Bunbury Mill comes to life again The volunteers at Bunbury Mill were faced with a massive task when they discovered that many of the wheel timbers were in such a poor state. When they carried out a detailed inspection of the 10-ton water wheel late last year, it was found that the boards were seriously eroded, some were split apart, and one or two had already become detached from the locating slots in the cast iron framework. This meant that the small band of volunteers had to repair and replace 36 ‘buckets’, each formed by three timbers - the sole board, the riser, and the ladle board - 108 boards in all. Each bucket is secured by seven wellrusted bolts - a total of 252. In January they passed the point of no return, and set about removing all the ladle boards and risers, and around one third of the sole boards using nearly a ton of oak. While in the wheel pit, the boards were fitted by two people on top of the wheel, and one or two ‘hamsters’ inside the wheel. They were very careful to ensure that the wheel was locked during this time! In February the last board was fitted. Two days later the platform was removed, the sluice was opened, and the team was elated to see the wheel turning sweetly with another 40 years of life in it. For more information visit www. bunburymill.com. The mill opened to the public on Sunday 26th March, then every Sunday and Bank Holiday afternoon until the end of October. Top: Accessing the wheel and, right, a well-earned break for some of the 16-strong team who worked for over 400 hours on the project.

This branch of the law has changed greatly during Denise’s working life especially with the introduction of Collaborative Law, an alternative to litigation in resolving disputes between couples, especially where children are concerned; both parties meet together with their lawyers to hopefully resolve matters and thus avoid going to court.
