WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL CARE?
FINANCIAL PLANNING IS THE KEY
There are various ways to organise your finances so that you remain living in your own home for as long as possible. With the uncertainly of the government’s future plans we would urge people to consider the following options. • How do I pay for my care and protect my capital? • Will I get some guarantees? • Where can I get unbiased advice?
LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO SOLLA
The poor quality of home care services is never far from the headlines these days. Recent documentaries, such as the Channel 4 Dispatches ‘Britain’s Pensioner Care Scandal’, have highlighted the industry-wide problems of visits being cut short, unfair terms and conditions for staff, and variable quality and regulation of services. It all makes for a worrying picture. After the General Election my main thoughts were: would things change, will promises be kept and what will be the outcome for Social Care? From the various political manifestos, nothing is really clear about how this crisis is going to be resolved. What is clear is that public and private expenditure on long-term care is increasing rapidly. The NHS could be facing a 25% increase in the cost of elderly care, between now and 2025. Within eight years, 2.8 million people over 65 will be unable to cope alone and will require nursing and social care, many with dementia.
Some years ago the Bunbury Care Agency became the first home care agency to be made an affiliate member of The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA). Their aim is to ensure that people are better informed about the financial issues of later life and can find a fully accredited adviser quickly and easily. SOLLA is a not-for-profit organisation that does not make any money from advice given or products sold. They were the first organisation to train financial advisors specifically in finding solutions to the cost of elderly care. We are happy to recommend a local financial advisor who is a fully registered member of Solla and therefore an expert in elderly care funding. So no matter what your questions are, be they legal, financial or other matters, we can help. Nobody caring for elderly parents wants to put a monetary value on it, but hopefully our home Care Fees Solutions can answer your questions. We understand that this can often be a stressful and emotional time and whilst we make no claims to being a ‘one stop shop’, we hope that our information will help you make informed choices.

Rain fails to dampen Tarvin fete The weather wasn’t particularly kind to the Tarvin Village Fete, with high winds and occasional showers but it failed to dampen spirits on the day - and the Rose Queens managed to stay dry!
Tarporley Fire Station open day
Firefighters are inviting residents to join them at Tarporley Fire Station when they open the doors for a community open day. The free event takes place on Saturday, 1st July from 12noon to 4pm at the fire station on Birch Heath Road, Tarporley, and guarantees something for all ages. The day will be action packed and firefighters will be giving a rescue demonstration from height. Tarporley Fire Cadets will also be performing a drill. Fire engines, vintage and modern will all be on display for people to see throughout the event. One of the organisers, on-call crew manager Paul Dale explains: “I believe that many people will be surprised at the variety of work the fire and rescue service does to prevent as well as deal with emergencies. “We are looking forward to showing visitors the kind of equipment we use on a daily basis and of course the fire engine, which is everyone’s favourite. As a modern day fire and rescue service, Cheshire concentrates on prevention so we hope that visitors will have a great day but also take away some safety messages to help keep them safe in the future.” For more information visit www.cheshirefire.gov.uk

TARPORLEY PARISH COUNCIL Newsletter
PARKING AND PLANTING We are currently working on a number of projects, namely the introduction of Time Limited parking along the High Street; improving the road surface of Lychgate Lane; and awaiting the completion of a number of conditions before the planning application for the Leisure Land off Brook Road can be considered by Cheshire West and Chester Council. We have just completed the repair of the rubberised surface at the children’s playground behind the Community Centre. Talking of repairs..... we are aware that a number of the benches along the High Street are themselves in need of repair, if not replacement, and then there’s the repair needed to the flag pole at Burton Square. We are also looking to improve the appearance of the mound under the chestnut tree by the Chestnut Pavilion before too long. This all means a busy time for the Parish Council and we look forward to Delia’s involvement in our work. l Thanks are due to the residents who have very kindly spent time planting up the “wedding cake” planters on the High Street, tidying up the flower bed around the Tarporley painted sign outside the gates to St Helen’s and weeding the large flower bed in the Parish Council Cemetery. The Tarporley painted sign is kindly being repair by a resident and hopefully by the time you read this, it will be back in place. Maybe also by then, the hanging baskets along the High Street will have been delivered by CWAC so that we can put them up on the lamp posts in good time for the Tarporley Carnival on Saturday 8th July. Please do support this important annual event on the Community Centre field, run by Tarporley Rotary Club and Tarporley 41 Club. There is a full programme of events and all profits go to our local charities. The Carnival, which this year is celebrating its 25th year, starts with the procession down the High Street, leaving Rode Street at 12.30pm. As ever it will be a successful fund raising occasion for local charities. ROYAL BRITISH LEGION At the time of writing there is no further news of when the planning application for the ex-Royal British land will be considered by CWAC, nor when housing development will start on the “Daffodil Field”. The planning application for the expansion for the Primary School, which is supported by the Parish Council, has gone in to CWAC and we await a date for its consideration by the Council. NEW ADDITION As part of the Parish Council’s team, led by our new Chairman Gordon Pearson, we welcome Delia Cox who will be working alongside Abbie Webb to carry out between them the roles of the Parish Clerk, Project Coordinator and Responsible Financial Officer. l Due to the recent retirement of Ken Parker, we are looking for another resident to be a Parish Councillor.

Harley is on the right track Harley Galloway has beaten the odds to prove he is something of a speed demon on the karting circuit. The 14 year-old is currently third in the Hooton Indie Kart Championship after a series of impressive finishes. Mum Abbie said: “Harley has ADHD and needed a sport that could focus him and keep him engaged. I originally took him karting for fun, but soon realised he was good. Mark Morgan, a local garage owner, was interested in helping a child with problems from the local community and asked him to attend an arrive and drive session. “He noticed Harley’s ability and offered to sponsor him in the championship at Hooton kart racing track. “On our first visit to the track Cat Racing noticed Harley and offered to tutor him, which they have done since the start of the year.” Abbie says that Harley has overcome many obstacles, including ADHS and has been considered a challenge in school. “Karting has matured him, given him a focus and direction. He has formed friendships with fellow racers and is gaining an understanding of engineering,” Abbie added.

Why Facelift Your Kitchen?
®
• Why replace your whole kitchen, when a makeover looks just as good? The
majority of people will believe that they need to replace their entire kitchen, which can be a very disruptive and long winded process. But why not consider a kitchen facelift for your new kitchen, as there are many benefits to refacing instead of replacing!
• A Dream Doors kitchen facelift will save you £1000s. But that’s not all you’ll save. What if we could give you something that can’t be bought? What if we could free up your time to do more of the things you love? That’s right – Dream Doors can save you time. Time to be with your family. Time doing what you love. Time to enjoy your new kitchen.
• A Dream Doors kitchen facelift will typically take just 1-2 days to install...
And that’s all. Replacement kitchen doors and new drawer fronts can be fitted in just one day. Add new worktops and a sink, then give us an extra day to have it professionally fitted (and to tidy up afterwards, of course!). That’s another thing - by choosing a Dream Doors kitchen makeover you won’t be spending time living in a building site, because Dream Doors will also save you from the dust and disruption that comes with a total kitchen refurbishment.
• There’s less stress and less mess with a kitchen facelift. You won’t have to empty all of your cupboards, and we won’t be pulling out old kitchen units creating unnecessary upheaval. Imagine that! No living with clutter for weeks on end. No need to trawl through takeaway menus every night. You’ll be up and running and enjoying time in your new kitchen before you know it.
• You will be amazed and delighted by the quality of the finished kitchen and wonder why you ever even considered ripping out the whole thing! Our before and after photos are testament to the quality of our work and dramatic transformation.
• By replacing your old kitchen unit doors with made-to-measure new ones and
incorporating new kitchen worktops and a sink, or an oven and a hob if you like, you will save at least half the money spent on a comparable new kitchen. But you’ll also benefit from a stress-free experience that gives you a new kitchen in a matter of days, not weeks!

Canal bridge to get traffic lights PERMANENT traffic lights are being installed at Golden Nook Canal Bridge, Long Lane, Huxley. To allow the works to be carried out, Long Lane is closed at the bridge until early July. Cheshire West and Chester Council has been working with the Canal and River Trust to improve vehicle safety at the bridge and the improvement works will also repair the damaged bridge parapet. The signed diversion route will be via Quarry Lane, the A41, Chester Road, Gatesheath Lane and Red Lane. The traffic light installation work will cost in the order of £100,000 and is jointly funded between Cheshire West and Chester Council and the Canal and River Trust, who own the bridge. Sally Boddy, regional engineer with the Canal and River Trust, added: “This historic canal bridge is regularly damaged by vehicle strikes due to the Independent Funeral Services Limited amount of two-way traffic travelling over it. We are delighted Over 15 years local experience the new traffic light system will reduce NAFD Qualified traffic flow to one direction at a time. 24 hours a day Personal Service “This should greatly reduce the Private Chapel of Rest risk of accidents Pre-paid Funeral Plans and improve public safety.”

HEALTH & BEAUTY By Angela Bartlett, owner Sensoria Beauty, Grooming & Wellbeing
Lip Service By Angela Bartlett, Owner Sensoria Beauty We smile with them, we kiss with them, we speak with them and we eat with them, but lips are often forgotten about in our beauty regime. It’s only when we notice that they are cracked, lipstick is bleeding or they are not as full as they used to be that we sit up and take notice of them. Lips are a particularly vulnerable part of our face as they have no oil glands, the thin is extremely thin (having only 3-6 layers of cell compared to 16 layers found in other parts of the skin) and due to the large amounts of saliva in the area are susceptible to dehydration. Did you know that lip cancer is far more prevalent in men than women as they rarely put anything on their lips to protect them? So how should be looking after them? Protection and restoring the barrier function of the skin on your lips is key. Using lipstick is a good method of protection. Choose lipsticks with a moisturising formula and preferably additional beneficial ingredients such as vitamin E. Use a specific lip product to treat your lips. Look for ingredients such as shea butter and Indian Gentian extract to restore barrier function to keep them soft, supple and protected. Sesame seed extract is a great ingredient for hydration and reducing roughness. New ingredients such as Apple Fruit Extract has been show to increase tissue volume in lips to address thinning and ageing lips.

Tribute to terminally ill STAFF at the Alvanley Arms Inn have done their bit to help the chef who has been diagnosed with terminal bowel and stomach cancer. The team at the Cotebrook pub hosted a special charity night for their talented chef Aaron Ferris, who worked for the pub for five weeks before becoming terminally ill with bowel and stomach cancer. The evening consisted of raffle prizes throughout the event, which built up to the allimportant auction towards the end of the night. The Alvanley Arms team were accompanied by none other than celebrity Chef Simon Rimmer, who supported them all the way. Licensee Harry Challinor said: “Earlier this year

we had the good fortune in employing a young, very talented and passionate Chef called Aaron. We developed a great connection with Aaron, as he made such an enormous impact on our pub. However, he became ill and, at just 25 years of age, has now been diagnosed with terminal bowel and stomach cancer. On hearing this devastating news, myself, Julie and all at The Alvanley organised an event to raise awareness of this deadly disease and raise some money for Aaron.” The charity event and dinner involved some of Aaron’s previous colleagues who he worked with as a chef in London, who helped to serve
www.tarporleytalk.com
ll pub chef up tasteful food on the night. The menu was expertly designed by Aaron himself, and included a delicious selection of innovative foods, such as: Live Rock Pool (crab ravioli, mussels, clams, prawns and sea herbs with a shellfish bisque), Cherry Bakewell (cherry soup, frangipane sphere, toasted almonds, cherry sorbet and Italian meringue), and many more memorable dishes. Harry continued: “The event was very emotional, but we had a great turn out and we’d like to say a big thank you to all who helped make the night so special. A 2-hour helicopter ride over Cheshire was donated to Aaron as part of the auction, and after experiencing the trip on Saturday,
he said it was the best thing he’s ever done. Robinsons also helped a lot with the night, with a special thanks to David Bremner and Sarah Rogers who facilitated enormously. In spite of the circumstances, we’re incredibly proud of the community for pulling together and to have raised so much in such a short period; this is tribute to Aaron and how much everybody thinks of him.” With the great help and generosity of all involved, The Alvanley Arms raised a huge £15,100 for this cause. All of the proceeds raised will be going to Aaron’s suggested charity; When You Wish Upon A Star.

As I sit in my office writing this article, I’m feeling a strong sense of déjà vu as this time last year we were awaiting the Brexit referendum and here we are again, only now we’ve just re-visited the polling stations for a General Election. Then as now, I suspect the outcome has had little impact on the need for most of us to simply get on with juggling our lives, families and work commitments, with barely a pause for breath.
We all probably have the same concerns for the future, no matter what colour you’ll be pinning to the mast, and it’s fair to say that more financial responsibility will ultimately have to fall on our own shoulders as time goes on. Take Pensions, regular readers of my column know this is a subject close to my heart, and recently I’ve met a lot of new clients who are about to take their pension benefits and need good quality advice as to the best way to do so. These clients are at the end of their working lives, but at the beginning of what will hopefully be a long, healthy and happy retirement. Some really have left it too late to improve their financial wellbeing, some have been serious about their retirement and can look forward to a comfortable financial future but one of the things I always ask my clients to obtain is a State Pension Forecast and a contribution record, and its really quite an eye opener when you look at how little, relatively speaking, it costs to make up for lost years of national insurance contributions, and how much extra state pension you will receive when you do. This begs the question of how financially viable it really is for the current triple lock, something which political parties are understandably reluctant to remove or change, but in the overall scheme of things, is probably not affordable for very much longer. When I first started working in the Financial Services arena
in my twenties, it was widely predicted that for my generation there was unlikely to even be a state pension, and as my state pension age is constantly being moved back to the point where I now have an additional 7 years over to wait, over what was anticipated in my twenties, its actually easy for me to see that this just might be the case! This of course is only my personal view, so please don’t assume that the end of the state pension era is nigh, but equally importantly don’t assume that you can keep putting off the responsibility of providing for your retirement years either. Nor should you assume that just because you have a workplace pension scheme in place now, you are saving enough. If you are only making the minimum contribution, I can guarantee that you’re not saving enough and whilst Politicians might not be able to work out the costs of putting more police on our streets, putting off until tomorrow what you should be doing today in terms of your pension will equal a poor retirement! Thank you for continuing to call us regarding your financial planning needs, we have managed to help a record number of new clients this year either due to our existing clients introducing us to their friends and family, or of course because reading this column has struck a cord. Please give us a call on 01948 840738 or 075959 28907 as ever, without obligation.

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH
HIGH SUMMER IN JULY There are so many flowering plants out in July that I am spoilt for choice. One that you may not know is a shrub, Abutilon Kentish Belle. This is a tender shrub growing to about 2m tall and as you can see from the photo, has hanging red and yellow flowers loved by bees. So if you have a sheltered corner that gets sun in summer on well drained yet moist soil then try it out. It is hardier than other Abutilons and would do well on the Wirral where winter temperatures are lower. Another supposedly tender plant is Agapanthus with round heads of white or blue flowers. These are hardy in my clay based soil in full sun in Chester. You can grow them in pots and bring them in over winter. They do well with low growing perennials around the base. If you have dryer soil and sun then why not try Verbena bonariensis and Eryngium bourgatii or Sea Holly. The silvery blue stems of the Sea Holly look great with the taller stems of the Verbena and both are loved by insects. Surround with low growing geraniums or purple leaved Heucheras. Janet Heath Garden Mentor
Another tall perennial is Campanula lactiflora Alba with stems of white flowers up to 1.2m tall. Good for the back of the border in moist soil but not in a windy position. Plant autumn flowering bulbs such as Nerine bowdenii or Amaryillis belladonna in sunny sandy soil or in pots for autumn colour. If your geraniums have flowered, take the shears to them and cut back hard, some varieties will flower again. Prune plums and cherries after fruiting has finished, not in winter. Make sure you water vegetables like beans and courgettes for a good crop. If you would like to visit gardens look out for gardens open under the National Gardens Scheme where all proceeds go to charities including Marie Cure Cancer Care and Macmillan Cancer Support. The Rowans at Malpas is open on 1st and 2nd July. It has an Italianate theme and is divided into different areas from quiet pool to exuberant pots planted with annuals.Also open on 15th and 16th July is Sunnyside Farm, Little Budworth. Five acres of country garden with wildflower meadow, pool, herbaceous borders and woodland to enjoy.

NEW BUSINESS IN CLOTTON
Sarah’s goal - creating happiness for you My Journey: I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2015. After battling osteoarthritis from the age of 12, resulting in half a knee replacement at the tender age of 44, writes Sarah Stanyer. Spending the majority of my life trying to survive through depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, IBS and sleep issues. On one hand it was a huge relief to hear that I was not going mad! but how was I going to cope? Fibromyalgia causes widespread chronic muscle pain and fatigue, it affects 1 in 20 and mainly women over the age of 30. So the chances are you know someone who has this. In 2016 I had over 140 days of chronic pain and fatigue. My oldest daughter, Amy has sever learning disabilities, Autism, dyspraxia and apraxia, she needed me, so through gritted teeth I had to keep going for her. I then stumbled across Access Consciousness Bars Therapy, a very relaxing gently therapy that can change any area of your life, if you truly want change? It made me feel lighter, have less chatter in my head and less pain, giving me more energy, and a sense of calm. It had such a huge impact in transforming my life, I have now set up a new business in a range of alternative therapies but Access Bars being the main focus.
