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!

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING? Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

It’s hair today and gone tomorrow for Eleanor! Nine-year-old Eleanor Riley, from Tarvin County Primary School, recently had her hair cut and donated it to The Little Princess Trust, a charity that makes real hair wigs for children in the UK and Ireland. Eleanor loved her long hair so much but was very keen to help the charity. Alongside having her hair cut Eleanor also wanted to raise the money to pay for the wig to be made which is a massive £350. She smashed her target and the running total at the moment is £545 of which she would like to send a little to St Luke’s Hospice, Winsford. Eleanor and her family thanked Grace Lancaster, from Raymond Francis in Tarporley, who did a great job cutting Eleanor’s hair free of charge.

TARPORLEY PARISH COUNCIL NEWSLETTER Brook Road Field The Outdoor Sports and Recreation Committee met recently with Groundworks to discuss the need for a drainage survey and a topographical survey. A DRAFT plan has been prepared following the last public consultation to include a football pitch, an all-weather multi sport games area, a pavilion, a car park, a length of running track and a footpath around the edge. A wider consultation is scheduled for early 2016. Section 106 monies received from developers have been looked into BUT significant additional funding WILL be required. If anyone has specific experience with sourcing money for a project like this please contact the Clerk to the Council or Andrew Wallace on andrewwallace@ wrightmarshall.co.uk.

Garden Plots The Parish Council is looking for individuals to take on the maintenance of various small areas of amenity garden in the village such as by The High School entrance, Bowmere Road, Burton Square and Cobblers Cross. Interested parties please speak to the Parish Clerk or email her clerk@tarporley.org.uk

Community Centre Field Groundworks have also put a DRAFT plan for what may be possible on this playing field and drainage improvement is being investigated.

Dog Poo!! DOG OWNERS - PLEASE PLEASE be responsible. NO ONE likes walking in dog poo left on the pavement. The Community Centre field is also not A DOGGY TOILET!!

Tarporley Country Market The organisers of the market as from 1st October will be THE ROTARY CLUB OF TARPORLEY.

It takes place on the first Saturday of the month at The Community Centre where you CAN PARK! Do come along on October 3rd 9.30AM TILL 1.30PM. Light refreshments will be available.Enquiries to Parish Councillor Andrew Wallace

“A specialist centre for all aspects of hearing care” Hearing loss is one of the most common health issues in the world and is also one of the most treatable. Just as our eyesight deteriorates as we get older, hearing has its’ own natural aging process. In fact nearly one in five people age 12 and older, experience hearing loss severe enough to hinder communication. Why live with hearing loss? Why feel frustrated, anxious and isolated? Even a minor loss can have a huge impact on our work, social and family lives. Asking people to repeat themselves or responding inappropriately draws more attention than wearing today’s stylish hearing aids. Do you recognise any of the following?

 Do you feel like other people are mumbling or not speaking clearly?  Do you find it difficult to follow conversations in noisy environments?  Do other people comment that your radio or television is very loud? Nantwich Hearing Centre is owned and managed by Alan Jackson, an HCPC registered audiologist, and his wife Helen. The centre offers a range of hearing services to the local community. Alan explained “We have invested in the most advanced audiology testing equipment and fitting systems to ensure the very best results for our patients. We provide access to the latest digital technology not available on the NHS. Awareness of the permanent damage that can be sustained from noisy work environments and loud past times, such as motorcycling and shooting, is increasing. Protecting your hearing from noise is vital as the damage it can cause is irreversible. Nantwich Hearing Centre provides a range of custom made hearing protection, musicians earplugs and in-ear monitors, as well as custom made ear moulds for swimming and sleeping. If you choose to visit Nantwich Hearing Centre you will receive honest, informed advice, whatever your hearing needs. Our pricing structure is clear and competitive and our recommendations will always be based on the hearing system that is most appropriate for your hearing and lifestyle.

Your work, Your family, Your safety, Your happiness! Tarporley Talk October 2015 19

From pampering skin care to beautiful make-up and feel-good fragrance, Clarins has the perfect gift for everyone. Our specialists can help you select a personalised present or choose from our selection of great value gift sets. All beautifully wrapped and ready to give or receive.

Skin Deep opened in February 1991. Owner Stepanie Humphreys trained at Bretlands Beauty Centre, in kent, and then worked in salons as a beauty therapist and later for Clarins on their promotion team. Stepanie previously travelled the world working for the examination board Cibtac, testing students on their final exams but she has given this up due to being so busy in the salon. There are also three fully-qualified beauty therapists working with Stepanie, who all have CIBTAC and CIDESCO qualifications. The salon works to a very high standard, which has led to recognition by the Cidesco institute, one of two in the Uk. The award is based on the excellence of work, hygiene, quality of staff and up-to-date equipment. Skin Deep also holds the highly prestigious Clarins Gold Award status. Covering all aspects of beauty therapy, the salon stocks the full range of Clarins, Rene Guinot, nailtiques and Tea-Tree products, all for homecare.

Calling all Carers! We urgently need more experienced local daily and live in carers, who are able to look after our clients in and between the areas of Tarporley, Nantwich, Malpas, Whitchurch, Tarvin and Chester. Bunbury Recruitment Day – 21st October 2015 As a result we are holding a recruitment day in Bunbury Village Hall on Wednesday 21st October from 10am to 3 pm. If you are unhappy with your current working regime, we invite all local carers to come and meet for a presentation about our care services. You will meet some of our carers who will give testimony to the valuable service we have provided to our clients over the past 47 years.

Our Philosophy We passionately believe the elderly and vulnerable people should have the choice of how they are looked after. Our experience tells us that almost everyone, with the right care and support, can remain living in their own homes. We do not believe in ‘pop in - pop out’ home visits. Our clients want and deserve respect, privacy and should be treated with dignity. Therefore each visit is a minimum of one hour giving the carer time to interact with their client, not rushing them and having time for a chat over a cup of tea.

Choose your hours and your clients Your hours can be flexible to suit your other engagements such as school runs, medical appointments and holidays. Once we know that you and our clients are happy, you will become one of their regular carers, sometimes exclusively and sometimes as a team. All our carers are self employed BUT, they all say that they have a better experience with Bunbury. As from October our hourly rate will be increased to £12 per hour weekdays and £15 per hour at weekends, plus 45 pence per mile travel allowance. Overnights and weekend start at £100 per night, waking nights are more.

Do you want to make a difference? If you want to find out more about our lovely family of ‘Bunbury Carers’ and really want make a difference to other people’s lives as well as your own, come to the Bunbury Village Hall on Wednesday 21st October between 10am and 3pm and meet us all. We are really looking forward to meeting you. Sarah Green – Director Campaigning to help people remain living in their own homes

Look up....

and use all the space in your home We would all like more space in our homes and with houses in the UK getting smaller, space is at a premium. But what if there was an affordable way to create more space in our homes? A simple solution for all those people fed up of living among clutter and one that doesn’t require planning permission or any major structural building work. For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited seasonally; once to dig out the Christmas decorations and then again to bring down the holiday suitcases. A precarious scramble across dusty beams, torch in hand; grabbing what’s needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long-forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of

the floor space in an average home. So shouldn’t you be making the most of it? And that’s where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton over five years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by making the loft easily accessible. And that’s all it does. It’s not a generic building company, and it’s not jack-of-all-trades. MTLL only installs loft hatches, ladders, boarding, lighting and insulation. It’s what the company does all day, every day, using qualified local installers who are reliable, tidy and efficient. The latest MTLL franchisee to open covers Crewe and Chester and is run by skilled tradesman, Adam Shepherd...“Our average job is about

Here’s a great way to make more storage space...

£290 and only takes a few hours to complete,” says Adam. “And for that, customers get a modern two section aluminium ladder 50sq ft of boarding and a light to make the space safe and secure.” The price customers are quoted is the price they will pay, with no additional call out or credit card charges. “More Than Loft Ladders is already a trusted name in the north west with over 2,500 successful installations, and I really wanted to bring it here to Cheshire...It’s such a great and cost effective way for people to gain the extra space they need,” added Adam. For a free survey and quotation with no obligation, contact More Than Loft Ladders now!

Install a loft ladder and make more use of your loft!

Loft ladder, Light & Switch plus 50 sqft of flooring from as little as £277+VAT which includes FREE fitting in less than a day. Over 1500 people have chosen us to fit their loft ladder, this is because we offer: • A FREE home visit • A FREE written quotation

Impressive turnout for allot

Presentation of the cheque by representatives of the bowls and allotments clubs to Tarporley War Memorial Hospital: Graham Rathbone, Bert Bolt, Tony Gorman (General Manager), Claire Teasdale (Matron), Ken Warburton, Bobbie Nancarrow. Tarporley’s Allotments & Bowls clubs played joint hosts to the village at their Grand Open Day which had been organised to raise awareness about the threat to the site from developers and also to raise funds for a local charity. Despite some very windy and wet weather which played havoc with the gazebos, visitors flocked to take part in organised events. For children, there were scavenger and bug hunts while for adults there were taster sessions of Crown Green Bowling, a tombola and plant sales. Allotmenteers were on-hand to advise on how to get the best results from the vegetable seeds and seedlings. Visiting exhibitors such as The Cheshire Wildlife Trust and MidCheshire Beekeepers were also available with

expert advice on such issues as insect-friendly gardening. The Cheshire Wildlife Trust was also kept busy with games for smaller children. Various fund-raising activities on the day raised an impressive £517 which has been donated to Tarporley’s War Memorial Hospital. A further £40 was donated by Eaton Garden Club to the Hospital. Residents plus some parish councillors were also very keen to show their solidarity with the allotmenteers and bowlers whose amenities are threatened by the proposed developments to the site. Those opposed to the developments were pleased to sign one of the many petitions which have been in circulation. In total, over 1,000 signatures have now been gathered! Clearly, residents of Tarporley are very unhappy at the thought of any changes to their village’s precious green open spaces.

health & beauty with Angela Bartlett

BIOSLIMMING By Angela Bartlett, owner Sensoria Beauty, Grooming & Wellbeing

Q. Why does massage feel so good? A. Our skin is a highly complex organ and is dense with sensory receptors. Some of these receptors receive messages about touch and pressure which are relayed to the brain via nerves. When we receive massage the brain releases a ‘feel good’ chemical called ‘oxytocin’ into the bloodstream which floods the body giving rise to a sense of wellbeing. In addition, the chemical ‘cortisol’ also known as ‘the stress hormone’ can be inhibited helping you to feel more relaxed. The power of touch should never be underestimated for a healthy life. Q. I am considering having BioSlimming, how does it work? A. Bioslimming helps to increase the circulation, target fat cells, reduce inflammation and smooth out the skin texture. The innovative formulas include caffeine as a stimulant which means that your metabolism is increased in the affected areas facilitating the burning of fat, the whole process is intensified by thermal action ingredients which causes a rise in skin temperature. The tissues are then rapidly cooled giving tone to the tissues. Immediately after the treatment it is helpful to undertake vigorous exercise for an hour to assist the lymphatic system in removing waste products more effectively to further improve the appearance of the skin. It works particularly well when a weekly treatment is undertaken for six weeks with the use of prescribed homecare products between salon visits. For more information visit the ‘treatment’ section at www.sensoriabeauty.co.uk

TARPORLEY HIGH SCHOOL & S

Teacher is a voiceover star Tarporleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very own English and Media teacher, Mrs McMillan, was asked to record the voiceover for a new trailer for BBC School Report â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a BBC project which gives students in the UK the chance to make their own news reports for a real audience. The trailer is still in production but will be played nationally on television, on radio and online later this year. Having been heavily involved in the BBC School Report project for many years, the BBC approached the school to receive feedback from teachers who had worked with students in the past. Mrs McMillan spoke to the marketing team, and as a result of that discussion, was invited to Media City, Manchester, to record the voiceover in a studio this summer. Two English and Media students, Rhiannon Price and Dan Farrell, accompanied the teacher to Salford, gaining invaluable insights into the Media Industry as well as acquiring a unique experience to refer to on their UCAS applications for University. The main BBC School report news day is on 10th March 2016, when Tarporley students will be involved in once again. Look (and listen) out for the forthcoming trailer on the run up to the main event!

FOOTBALL TALK...

Vic’s show off new kit Tarporley Vic’s are delighted to announce that Wichtig International is the Club’s new main Sponsor for the 2015/2016 season. The Club are grateful to Wichtig International for their generosity in providing a new home strip for the First & Reserve Teams, plus training tops and t-shirts as part of this sponsorship. Wichtig International is an STM (scientific, technical and medical) publisher which was established in Milan, Italy. Pete George, a Tarporley resident, acquired Wichtig International eighteen months ago and the Company is growing with the objective of becoming a global player in the Medical Publishing market. Jean Jones is a Senior Manager at the Company and a key member of Pete’s Team in Tarporley. Wichtig International also has an office in Milan and one of the points of interest for Pete, Jean & Giulio Zuanetti, who is a Senior Manager in

the Milan office, was that Tarporley Vic’s strip is in the same colours as FC Internationale Milano (who English football fans know as Inter Milan). Who knows, we may be able to make use of this link in the future! Pete George also made reference to the fact that Tarporley Vics FC gives excellent development opportunities for young players from Tarporley and the surrounding area; Pete & Wichtig are also keen to utilise local talent, as Pete did previously when he was involved with Wolters Kluwer Ltd, based in Tattenhall. On the field of play Tarporley Vics 1st Team have played four League games and one Cup game in recent weeks. On the League front Tarporley Vics suffered defeats against Altrincham FC Reserves, Billinge FC & Pilkington FC. These teams were all expected to do well this season, with Billinge & Pilkington both having played in the Premier Division for a number of years and their experience certainly came to fore in these fixtures.

Pete George & Jean Jones of Wichtig International with the First Team squad at the presentation of the new strip

To balance out these defeats, the win over Middlewich Town, by a 3 – 0 score line (watched by Pete George and Jean Jones after the presentation of the kit!), helped boost the squad’s confidence as did a Cup-tie win against AFC Macclesfield. With the return to Football action of the players who represent local cricket teams during the summer, Andy Williams and Sean Taylor hope to continue to build on this confidence for

The Reserves season finally started on September 12th after the fixtures were re-arranged to accommodate new Teams into the League. The first game for the Ressies resulted in a 1- 1 with local rivals Tarvin FC There are now 11 Teams in the Crewe Combined League and the League will be much improved with the inclusion of Tarvin FC, Winsford Saxons FC & Knights Grange FC.

‘Legion must be sold t T

here has been a considerable amount of rumour and misunderstanding with regard to the disposal of the land in Tarporley currently in Trust to the Royal British Legion, writes Ernest Boynes.

The original donation of the land occurred in 1966 when the benefactor offered that parcel of land which now comprises the redundant Tarporley Royal British Legion Club building and the car park to the Tarporley Branch of the Royal British Legion (the Trustees), to be held in Trust “ for the Pursuance of the Aims and Objective of The Legion which are expressed in the Royal Charter of Incorporation”. There were four Trustees, Members of the Branch, appointed by the Branch, who signed the document.

In 1987 that parcel of land now known as the allotments and bowling green was sold to the Tarporley Branch. The document states “The Transferees shall hold the property upon trust and for the benefit of members ( both present and future) of the Royal British Legion, Tarporley Branch, to deal therewith whether by way of sale, lease, mortgage, charge or otherwise as its committee shall from time to time direct. In 1999 and following a resolution passed at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Tarporley Royal British Legion, the two parcels of land were passed in trust to the Royal British Legion, a registered charity ( Charity number 219279). The document transferring the property was signed by four members ( the Trustees) of the Tarporley Branch. The management and control of the Property was vested in the National Council of the Trustees of the Royal British Legion.

to the highest bidder’ These documents have been viewed by the Parish Council. In December 2014, for reasons that have been widely publicised the RBL Club closed. The property, including the Club together with the allotments and bowling green, provided a limited amount of income for the Charity and now the Club lies derelict. Charities have a duty in law to obtain the best reasonable return from their assets when sold in order to provide support for its beneficiaries. As this property in its present condition and usage will not produce a return commensurate with its value, the RBL has no option but to sell for the highest amount it can reasonably obtain for its beneficiaries. It should be noted that to be a member of the RBL does not necessarily qualify a person to be a beneficiary. A beneficiary is defined as a person, a member of the armed forces community, which includes dependants, who currently serves, or has served in the armed forces and is in need as a result of wounds, ill health, bereavement or adverse circumstances for the remainder of their lives. In order to comply with the terms of its Royal Charter the RBL now has no option but to sell or lease the property to obtain a satisfactory return on the asset. If the local authorities had wished to take an interest in the land they could have approached the RBL with a proposition. The Charity must consider whether they have sold the property on the most favourable terms. A charity can achieve this by ensuring the property is favourably marketed, taking advice from professionals and accepting the best financial offer available. However an

offer that is not necessarily on the best terms can be accepted by a charity in the following circumstances: if the disposal is to a charity with similar purposes; if the charity reasonably believes that a buyer would not be able to complete; or if the buyer’s intended use of the property conflicts with the principles of the charity. The Royal British Legion is now in discussions with a developer for the disposal of the land and details of the initial proposals have been posted on the notice board at the entrance of the RBL car park. It is anticipated that there will be objections by local interest groups to any development which will result in a change of use of the land, so the Parish and Borough Councils will need to decide whether or not to object to any planning application. In the case of this particular planning application there is an additional matter which the Parish and Borough Council might believe they are obliged to take into consideration, namely the government’s Armed Forces Covenant, “An Enduring Covenant Between The People of The United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and All Those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of The Crown And Their Dependants”. The principle forming the basis of this Covenant is that no decision made by any part of government or the public services should disadvantage the armed forces community. The funds raised by the sale of this land, if completed, will be used to support those who serve, or who have served in the Armed Forces, together with their dependants, who are in need.

Bunbury Neighbourhood Plan submitted The Neighbourhood Plan was formally submitted to Cheshire East Council on Friday 28th August. The submission was made in accordance with Regulation 15 of The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, for consideration and wider publicity. The plan will shortly enter a new and final round of consultation, for a period of six weeks, and Cheshire East will issue a press release to coincide with the early stages of the consultation launch. Cheshire East will publicise the plan so that it is brought to the attention of people who live, work or carry out business in the neighbourhood plan area. The latest version of the plan is now available on our website (www.bunburynpg.

org) and the consultation will provide an opportunity to comment on this submission version. Details of how to comment will appear on the Cheshire East website. Following the consultation period the plan will be independently examined. When considering the content of the Neighbourhood Plan the independent examinerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role is limited to testing whether or not the draft Neighbourhood Plan meets the basic conditions, and other matters set out in the legislation (paragraph 8 of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990). The last stage of the Neighbourhood Plan process will be a referendum, organised by Cheshire East Council, to enable the residents of Bunbury to vote on the Plan.
