CARNIVAL FEVER THE glorious summer weather was certainly kind to the organisers of the Bunbury Village Day and the Tarporley Carnival with huge numbers turning up on both days. We’ve got lots of pictures from both events in this month’s magazine. You can also read about the new dawn of the Rising Sun pub, the Tarporley High School prom, 50th anniversary celebrations at Tarvin Tennis Club, success for Tarporley Badminton Club, summer activities for children and lots more local news. There’s also the regular features, including Angela Bartlett, the what’s on guide, business directory and health and beauty.

LATEST CQC FINDINGS REVEAL A ‘RUSSIAN ROULETTE’ FOR CARE SERVICES’ Age UK has voiced its concerns about major inequality in the standards of care for older people. The charity is responding to the findings in a national report made by the Care Quality Commission this July, about matters most in adult social care. Services were judged on whether they were: • safe • caring • effective • responsive • well-led Although the report showed that most services were of a good to high quality, there were still too many services requiring improvement. The inspectors biggest worry was with regard to safety. Age UK says these figures reveal a ‘Russian roulette’ for care and has urged the Government to make a much greater investment into care services.
GOVERNMENT MUST COMMIT URGENT FUNDS TO SOCIAL CARE
A FIFTH OF SOCIAL CARE SERVICES STILL NEED IMPROVEMENT
I have mentioned this before, but my ‘Bunbury Carers’ tell me that they must have the flexibility of time to ensure they can look after their clients properly e.g. preparing them properly for the day and safely tucking them up for the night! That is why we insist on a minimum of a 1 hour call. The financial squeeze on local authorities seems to be preventing carers in the public sector from providing a proper service. It goes without saying that this is bound to result with errors in safeguarding. Taken as a whole, this report is a graphic demonstration of why older people desperately need the Government to follow through on its commitment to consult on proposals for strengthening social care later this year.
According to Andrea Sutcliffe, Chief Inspector of the CQC, most care services pass the ‘Mum’s test’ i.e. whether a service would be good enough for one’s own loved ones. However 19% of social care services were rated as ‘requiring improvement’, 2% ‘as inadequate and alarmingly’, a quarter of services previously been rated as ‘good’ have now declined! Within the context of safety, the levels of inadequate care were even higher, rising to 25% of services not being considered good enough. Safety concerns can leave older people vulnerable like not receiving their prescribed medicine or their home visits being missed.

TARPORLEY PARISH COUNCIL Newsletter
Tidy Tarporley is a team effort The Parish Council has been asked to promote a scheme to tidy up Tarporley. It involves residents “adopting” an area of the village and keeping it tidy by picking up any litter or rubbish that has been dropped and businesses doing the same from the front of their premises. The Council will be writing to businesses requesting support for the scheme and any residents wanting to get involved should contact Abbie or Delia, our parish clerks, at clerk@tarporley.org.uk The scheme is particularly timely for two reasons, firstly, we have received a number of complaints about litter in the village and secondly, we have entered a competition entitled Village of the Year, which is a new TV series presented by Penelope Keith. She and her team of judges will be visiting villages across the UK to determine the winner. A prize of £10,000 is available for the winning village to spend on appropriate infrastructure projects and a clean and tidy street scene will help our case. A meeting has been requested with Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWaC) to ensure they meet their responsibilities in the village such as cutting back overhanging foliage from public footpaths and weeding etc. A number of complaints have been received concerning residential hedges overhanging pavements and forcing pedestrians to move on to the road to pass them. Residents are requested to cut back hedges as necessary so that pedestrians can walk along pavements unhindered. Overflowing bins A small number of businesses and residents have reportedly been observed stuffing rubbish into the black public litter bins on the high street and at the Community Centre field thereby filling them up to overflowing much sooner than would ordinarily be the case. These bins are for public use, not business or household use and the Parish Council asks those concerned to stop this practice immediately. Natwest Bank The doors of the NatWest bank closed for the last time in June. A limited number of services previously offered by the bank will be provided by the Post Office and they should be contacted for further details. 20mph limit? A survey of mean speeds in towns and villages across Cheshire has recently been undertaken by CWaC. The outcome is a proposal that any residential road with a mean speed below 24mph or roads outside schools with a mean speed below 30mph should have a 20mph limit imposed, which would affect a large number of roads in Tarporley. Unfortunately a number of roads are excluded from the scheme and some of these pass through significant housing developments where children and families walk along roads to and from school. The proposal in its current form will also require a large number of 20mph signs to be erected, which is both costly and an eyesore. For these reasons the Parish Council will ask CWaC for the whole of Tarporley to be included in the 20mph scheme with new signs to replace existing ones on the main routes into the village.

Village parking The project to introduce time limited parking on the High Street and on Eaton Road opposite Bunbury Court is proceeding and the final proposal will be available for public scrutiny and comment in the near future. Unless significant objections are raised, implementation is expected in October or November. CWaC are considering a proposal to introduce parking charges in Tarporley. The council is opposed to the imposition of such charges because of their harmful effect on local businesses and residents alike and we will be lobbying against them. Benches and noticeboard The benches and notice board around the “Best Kept Village” signs at the entrance to St Helens Church, and the benches in the cemetery are in a poor state of repair and need replacing. Plaques on the existing benches will be transferred to the new benches or replaced with new ones, if necessary. The word Tarporley or the Tarporley pear tree emblem will be inscribed on the benches. The mound under the chestnut tree needs upgrading and refurbishing. It is hoped that the costs will be met under a sponsorship agreement with local businesses.

Parish Council Meetings Second Monday of each month (except August) in the Craven Room (the downstairs room accessed from the rear car park) of the Community Centre. Each meeting starts at 7pm with an Open Forum, during which members of the public can address the whole Council on matters of concern to them. At 6.30pm, prior to this meeting, the Parish Council holds a surgery where members of the public can talk one to one with individual councillors on an informal basis.
Carnival success The 25th carnival took place on Saturday the 8th of July and fortunately the weather was very kind to us. The Parish Council would like to thank all those involved and particularly Rotary and 41 Club for organising it and staffing the beer tent and barbeque, everyone who took part in the spectacular parade, the Community Centre for hosting the event, the stall holders, Carnival Queens and attendants, entertainers and last but by no means least, the residents and businesses of Tarporley for supporting the event, thereby benefitting local charities and voluntary organisations. British Legion plans approved The planning application for the Royal British Legion development has been conditionally approved. The most notable conditions are twofold; firstly, the “gifting” of the bowling green, the new car park and the remaining allotments to Tarporley Parish Council for the use of residents in perpetuity. The “gifting” will take the form of a legally binding transfer of ownership at zero cost, and secondly, the development must include 30% “affordable” housing. Parish council vacancy Due to retirement there is a vacancy on the Parish Council. Any interested residents should contact Abbie or Delia, our parish clerks, at clerk@tarporley.org.uk

TARPORLEY High School Year 11 technology student and would-be furniture designer Tom Cronin has built some excellent projects over the years. His latest project, for his GCSE, has been entered in to several competitions and is winning many positive accolades due to its innovative nature and construction. Tom’s work uses similar principles to that which were developed to build the Mosquito fighter/bomber during the second world war. His design requires wood to bend through a 90 degree angle to form a clean smooth corner by trapping thin layers of plywood and glue between two formers and allowing them to set.

Rising Sun expands its horizons The popular Rising Sun pub has reopened following a big refurbishment. The pub, which closed in late April, has been serving pints on Tarporley’s High Street for centuries. Initially owned by the Woodward family for nearly 100 years, it was known throughout Cheshire not just for its fine ale but as one of the county’s leading saddlers; resulting in the pub becoming a hotspot for travellers and locals. Stuart Wraith, the new landlord, said: “We’ve worked hard to capture the atmosphere and spirit of the old Rising Sun whilst giving it a fresh and up-to-date look. It’s been a busy couple of months and we can’t wait to serve the Tarporley community once more.” l Stuart Wraith (middle) and the team at the Rising Sun

HEALTH & BEAUTY By Angela Bartlett, owner Sensoria Beauty, Grooming & Wellbeing
Beauty - the Menopause & Beyond By Angela Bartlett, Owner Sensoria Beauty The menopause is a natural stage in the life of a woman. From a beauty perspective it can wreak havoc with skin, hair growth, figure maintenance and general wellbeing. So what happens in the menopause? As ovarian activity slows down the B-estradiol lev-els decrease, oestrogen and progesterone levels fall and can no longer mask the testos-terone which is produced by our adrenal glands throughout our lives. This can lead to accelerated skin ageing, excess hair on the face, spots, changes in fat distribution on the body, mood changes and even a deepening of the voice! Luckily, there are many treatments that can assist with making you look good and feel better in the beauty salon during and after the menopause. The first tip addresses the issue of drier skin. Lower oestrogen levels slows down the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the basal lay-er of the epidermis resulting in skin becoming drier and thinner. This, in turn, reduces barrier function leading to even drier skin. Opt for skin treatments and products based on ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar, which attracts moisture to the skin without adding oil. Look for vitamin rich products for their antioxidant and anti-ageing properties. In addition taking evening primrose oil often helps dry skin conditions too. For the other 6 tips visit the blog page at www.sensoriabeauty.co.uk

Tarporley Talk August 2017 83
Promotion at last for Tarporley Badminton THERE were big celebrations Tarporley Badminton Club after their promotion to Division Three of the Chester & District Badminton League. Having been resident in the bottom division for a number of years now it was very pleasing to get a runners-up spot and achieve promotion after steady improvement in recent seasons. During last season we travelled far and wide, visiting the likes of Ellesmere Port and crossing over the Welsh border to play Hawarden, Buckley and Connahs Quay, plus shorter journeys to our near neighbours Delamere. I’d like to offer my thanks to all our league players for their efforts over the course of the season, when we return to league action in September our standard of play will need to match that of new Division 3 opponents such as Christleton, Chester’s County Officers and David Lloyd Leisure Club. As a club we are always looking to attract new players, whether they be experienced or just keen to get some exercise through a racket sport. So if anyone reading this article is interested in playing please contact myself using the contact details below. Although we are primarily made up of adult players we also welcome teenagers who are keen to develop their skills and who might be interested in some junior coaching with a qualified Badminton England coach. We play our club nights, and home league matches, on Tuesdays between 7:30-9:30pm during school term time between September and the end of the following March. The venue is the Sports Hall at Tarporley High School and the first night for any new players is free of charge. Here is the Division 4 league table from the end of last season: Some members of the Tarporley Badminton Club celebrated promotion to Division 3 of the Chester & District Badminton League at the Swan Pub recently. The Lady players are Jennifer Dorsett, Jackie Christopher (front), Catharine Line and Alison Prichard (second row). The male players are Richard Line, Drew Brady, Howard Malyon, John Atkinson (back row) with Jim Crosbie (front) who also picked up the Division 4 men’s player of the season award.
