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 Chris Miller 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 Benfleet, Hadleigh, Thundersly and Canvey

Island areas and Chris 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 Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Can you help Re-Home a Dog from Acres Way Kennels?

Adopting a Dog

I

f you think you can offer a dog a good home, the first thing you need to do is to go down to the kennels, select a suitable dog you like, take it for a walk and see how you get on. Some people and dogs just don’t get along, so before reserving a dog, the Acres Way staff would need to see if you suit each other. If you have children, or another dog, they recommend that you bring them with you, to make sure that everyone will get on.

Once you have visited the dogs, and hopefully found one that matches your lifestyle and expectations, a member of staff will arrange a convenient time for a home check. These are usually carried out within 2 or 3 days of your visit and take about half an hour. Once the

home check is complete, you’ll be able to collect your dog. You will need to bring with you some identification showing your current address, and the £130 adoption fee.

Their staff will be on hand if you have any questions, and will be able to guide you through the adoption process. All the staff and dogs at Acres Way look forward to seeing you Re-Homing Update We are thrilled that Wobbles the Schitzu (below) that we featured in our July issue has found a loving family.

Unfortunately none of the dogs we featured last month has been re-homed. We are therefore refeaturing these dogs in order to give them the best chance of finding a new home. Fingers crossed!!!

Canvey Island Town Council Invitation to get involved in Christmas E

ven though there are still four months or 124 days to go to the festive season, Canvey Island Town Council’s preparations are well underway to hold their annual Christmas Event with Lights Switch On Saturday, 29th November in the town centre on Furtherwick Road.

Because of the Christmas theme, the Town Council is looking for local businesses and individuals to get involved, for example by taking stalls selling Christmas gifts, crafts and food and drink as part of a Christmas market. Local businesses are also asked to contact the Town Council if they are willing to get involved in some other way in the lead up to the event and festive season.

Cllr Peter May, Chairman of Canvey Island Town Council commented: “This is our seventh annual Christmas Event so it is well established and popular with the local community. The Town Council aims to make improvements to the Christmas Event each year. If you have crafts or Christmas goods that you may be

interested in selling, whether you are a business or individual, please get in touch with the Town Council’s office. If you can support the Town Council in any other way, we would be interested in hearing from them. The Town Council would recognise support given through our publicity. The more that businesses and community gets involved, the better it will be to continue to build on previous successful events.”

Each year there is a variety of activities organised by the Town Council’s Christmas Event to get people into the spirit of the festive season and help local businesses in the town centre including an entertainment programme hosted by Heart Essex Radio, children’s games, fun fair, Christmas stalls, real reindeers and the Christmas lights switch on. Further details including the full programme will be announced nearer the time.

For more information call 01268 683965 or visit www.canveyisland-tc.gov.uk.

Money Guidance H

MRC have announced the final rules following the momentous budget changes announced earlier in the year. These new rules will become effective from April 6th next year, so if you are planning on retiring soon you really need to be aware of them.

They give new flexibilities not seen before, that counter many of the anti-pension arguments and in one fell swoop will have made saving for retirement via traditional pension policies rather than Buy to Let or ‘exotic’ schemes, truly interesting again. In fact I wonder whether the Government’s concern over the proliferation of ‘exotic’ (often offshore property) schemes and house price rises caused in part by Buy to Let investors alienating ‘real’ buyers and creating an economic bubble, was not a primary reason behind their thinking in trying to get conventional pension planning back on savers financial radars?

The two main causes of concern for savers in pensions have been the low level of income available from annuities due to low interest rates and the idea that pension funds ‘die’ with you. Neither of these have been strictly true for a while, but by the Government making pensions more flexible more and more people are now thinking positively about saving for retirement again. With auto enrolment in the workplace now happening, we all need to have confidence that our pension funds will deliver a real benefit for us and our families. I believe this has been achieved with the new rules, which in a very concise summary are; Tax Free cash remains at 25% of your pension fund from age 55.

No requirement for anyone to buy an annuity or conventional income product. Your pension can remain invested until needed, even after obtaining your Tax Free cash.

There will be no limits on the amount you take from your pension. If you wish to enjoy it over the early years of retirement that will be your choice. If you would rather invest it to make a sustainable income, or even any combination of income and lump sum withdrawals then again, the choice is yours.

If an annuity hasn’t been purchased by the time you die, you can transfer your entire remaining fund tax free to your spouse. Or you can leave the fund to your children subject to a tax charge which is currently

18

under review and expected to reduce.

As long as professional advice is sought you can transfer from Defined Benefit or Final Salary schemes in order to benefit from these new flexibilities - this may be especially useful for high earners or those with a limited life expectancy.

This option will be removed for Statutory Government schemes such as Local Government, Civil Service etc.

Prior to the new rules being introduced in April 2015 small pension funds of less than £30,000 and up to three plans with values less than £10,000 can be accessed entirely with no need to buy any form of ‘income’ product. These can be accessed from age 60.

As always there is some complex detail behind these rules, especially around taxation and on-going pension contribution allowances, so before making any steps you should always seek advice from a professional regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The Government have promised to fund a scheme to provide everyone with ‘guidance’ around these new rules, but we have yet to see what this will look like and how comprehensive it will be. Whilst it is a good idea to make guidance more available, would you rather talk to someone with basic training - or trust your finances for the rest of your life to a qualified professional?

I know which I would rather choose! At Joseph Lamb we have been dealing with pensions and retirement for nearly 45 years and have a number of fully qualified pension professionals ready to guide you through the new retirement maze. As always an initial consultation is free and we may be able to simply point you in the right direction, or formulate a plan for your finances for the rest of your retirement, including the most efficient way to provide legacies for your family.

Lest We Forget: Armistice Day - 11th November T

he Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month. Why we still remember:

Often these days, the First and Second World Wars are just seen as something that happened in history books and we may buy our poppies without any real understanding of their significance. For example, did you know that 57,000 British soldiers were killed in one day on the Somme battlefields?

Remembrance Day is the 11th November with Remembrance Sunday always being held on the second Sunday in November. It was on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918 that the guns of World War 1 fell silent. Four years of fighting and devastation finally ended. The following year, ceremonies of remembrance took place on what was then known as Armistice Day. It was renamed Remembrance Day after the Second World War. In 1919, an Australian journalist, Edward George, wrote a letter to the London Evening News proposing a respectful silence for the dead. This was brought to the attention of King George V who then issued a proclamation which called for a two minute silence. “The Last Post” is traditionally played at Remembrance ceremonies to introduce the minutes silence. In military life, “The Last Post” marks the end of the day and the final farewell. The sounding of “Reveille” - or, as it is more commonly known - “The Rouse” ends the two minute silence, followed by the recitation of the “Ode of Remembrance.”

Working for the Community

The Orpheus Singers T

he Orpheus Singers were founded in 2008 and under David Clark’s professional musical direction, the ladies choir continues to develop an impressive repertoire and entertain both locally and nationally.

The choir was started by local resident Lynne Ewins.

As an active member of several local choirs, Lynne felt there was a real need for a ladies only choir in the area.

She approached David Clark, the Musical Director for the Leigh Orpheus male Voice Choir with her idea. David eventually agreed that if Lynne could get together 40 ladies who wanted to sing, he would give her the choir she wanted.

So, Lynne and her friend Pauline Sear set about trying to find 40 enthusiastic ladies. Nobody could have predicted the level of interest throughout the area and just 14 weeks after launching the choir had 120 members!

The choir performs concerts to suit all occasions with songs from spiritual to folk; pop to classic; rock

28

to ballad; jazz to songs from stage and screen.

Through the many concerts held, the choir has been able to support a wide range of local, national and international charities. At the end of May 2014, 45 ladies formed the Choir’s Tour Group to the Isle of Wight. Over the weekend, concerts were performed in the beautiful All Saints’ Church Ryde, the Medina Theatre in Newport and Sunday’s finale was some unaccompanied singing on the terrace at Osborne House in brilliant sunshine.

If you would like further details of The Orpheus Singers or to arrange a concert for your charity, or maybe even join in the singing yourself, please contact Choir Secretary, Sue Latchford on telephone 01702 467052.

You can find details of their next concert - a remembrance concert on our What’s On page and a full list of concerts on their website at www.theorpheussingers.co.uk

History of Castle Point

The Village Pump - Canvey Island

T

he well on the corner of Haven and Long Road was sunk in 1889 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Up until the well was built, the only water supply available to local residents was rainwater collected in water butts or buckets of water bought from one of the local farmers who had small wells.

The cost of providing the well was largely met by voluntary public subscription, aided by a grant from the Corporation of the City of London. The iron pump was sheltered by a thatched roof and a painted wooden board around the eaves said: “Whosever drinketh of this water that I give shall never thirst.”

There was also a large horse and cattle trough placed nearby. A plaque was placed above the well that read: “This well provided for the use of the inhabitants of Canvey Island by public subscription and a contribution from the Corporation of the City of London was opened by the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee on December 5 1889 and is vested in the undersigned as a permanent committee.”

It then lists the names Henry Hayes, William Coleridge, Abraham Manning and Arthur Mayhew Clark. This plaque is currently kept in the Dutch Cottage Museum, haven Road.

Henry Hayes, who is named on the plaque, was the Reverend henry Hayes who had been Canvey’s Curatein-Charge since 1872. He worked tirelessly in ensuring 30

that his parishioners had access to the amenities that he believed were essential to both their spiritual and medical welfare. He was instrumental in arranging for the supply of fresh water to the village via the well.

Also during his time, the Island received a new church and its first school.

The well was officially opened on 5th December 1889 and a crowd gathered for the opening ceremony. As there were still only several hundred people living on the Island at the time, the well quickly became the focal point of the village where people would meet up regularly to discuss the latest news and events.

The pump was used for the next thirty-three years before being finally pulled down in 1938. In 1913 the Southend Water Company became responsible for supplying water to Canvey Island but it was not until 1922, when Canvey was finally connected to the mains water.

Cast & Crew

Present “Canvey’s Great War”

C

anvey Island’s “Cast and Crew Theatre Workshop” will be presenting a play to commemorate the centenary of the First World War entitled Canvey’s Great War. Canvey’s Great War, written by Martin Lepley, is a factually based dramatisation which tells the story of Canvey Island during World War One. Using original research, this play tells many stories that have never been told before from both the front line trenches and also the home front.

It is described as “A memorial to those people of Canvey Island who at the call of King and Country left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and many finally passed out of sight of men by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom” The play will be shown at St Nicholas Church, Long Road, Canvey Island, SS8 0JR on 12th - 15th November at 7.15pm with an extra matinee performance on

Personalised Cakes For All Occasions Weddings ~ Christenings ~ Children’s ~ Anniversaries ~ New Baby
