Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company policy of delivering the

highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has 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. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, 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. Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Southend, Westcliff on Sea, prittlewell, Southchurch

& Chalkwell areas and manager Chris Miller agrees that this 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 as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ 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!

Working for the Community

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

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 pleased that Billy the Jack Russell Terrier, Little Mo the Terrier and Todd the Husky that we featured in our last issue have all been successfully re-homed.

 Billy - Successfully Re-homed

Money Guidance T

his years’ Budget genuinely appears to underpin the Governments rhetoric on ‘saving’. The much talked about reduction in tax reliefs on pension contributions did not materialize, in fact it was positively rebuked before the budget by Mr Osborne. Instead he has introduced higher income tax allowances enabling more people to save by increasing net income, raising the ISA limit next year and extending the Help to Buy ISA ideas with another new acronym, a ‘LISA’. The Government have also recognised that Financial Services regulation, the rules under which firms such as ours operate, are too restrictive and have driven up the cost of advice. They are consulting on some regulatory changes and to allow advice fees to be paid out of your pension fund. They recognize that the Money Advice Service and the Pensions Advisory Service have been inadequate in providing advice to those who can’t afford it and need to make Financial Advice more available again. Needless to say, within the industry, we were not surprised to hear this, although it is pleasing that they now recognize our role and that a weeks’ training on pensions is no substitute for our years of experience and qualifications! The Nation has a long term savings problem and this budget can only help that. In particular it reinforces Help to Buy ISAs, whereby the Government will add 25% of your contributions each year as long as the plan is used to buy a genuine first main residence or to secure a retirement income. They are not available to all and do have some restrictions and caveats, but this is a genuine commitment to encourage people to save. This will be helped by the annual ISA allowance, including the “LISA” element) to £20,000 per annum from 2017. The Chancellor does seem to have an eye on making Buy to Let investment less attractive. As well as the Stamp Duty increases and restrictions on claiming relief on interest payments announced last year, he has now made them relatively less attractive by lowering the Capital Gains Tax on stocks and shares investments, but NOT for Buy to Let. This makes the relative return from residential property investment much less attractive than from other sources and is a genuine tightening of policy to make Buy to Let less attractive in attempt to slow house price inflation. This combined with the saving inducements detailed above may mean that more genuine home

owners are able to buy, rather than just investors, if prices do actually begin to slow. An interesting point of detail concerns investing in Commercial Property. The rates of Stamp Duty did not benefit from the tiered system introduced a couple of years ago, so by applying a tiered system most smaller purchases will benefit from much lower stamp duty. This will be of particular interest to those buying through their pension funds, and may encourage more investment in this sector, again relative to house building. The Budget reconfirmed and extended some of last years’ pension freedoms, especially around some conflicting treatment of death benefits and ill health early retirement benefits. This only reinforces our view that pensions are still the most efficient medium for long term investment for Higher Rate tax payers. Whilst Mr Osborne did not reduce tax relief this year for higher earners, it may simply be because pension providers and payroll departments do not have the technology to limit the reliefs without sometime implementing system and software changes. The Treasury would have wanted any reduction in tax relief to be implemented immediately to prevent surge of large pension contributions, so by letting it go for now they may be able to give providers and pay roll time to make the necessary adjustments for future reductions? Watch this space! If this is the case then it will be prudent to maximise any pensions for higher rate relief in the short term, as there is still the political will behind the scenes to reduce higher rate tax relief. A point of warning, there are two important changes to pensions rules this April. Firstly, The Lifetime Allowance (LTA) for pensions reduces to £1 million from £1.25 million on 6th April and those affected should consider applying for one of the two types of “protection” available. Secondly, those earning over £150,000 will see a reduction in the amount they can contribute to a pension each year. Martin Lamb, Dip.PFS Certs CII (MP & ER) This information does not constitute an offer or advice and the service described may not be suitable for everyone. Alternative services may be offered if more suitable. Investments can go down as well as up and you could get back less than you paid in. Past Performance is not a guide to future returns. The “from launch” performance figures are from 29th October 2004 to 16th December 2015, and assume a £100,000 investment subject to our initial and ongoing charges for this level of investment. The performance figure for the last year is taken from 16th December 2014 to 16th December 2015. Assuming investment in our unit trust/OEIC portfolios, the returns from our ISAs and pension portfolios are higher.

Canvey Drama Group Puts on a Show!

ast weekend the War Memorial Hall on Canvey was packed to the rafters as the very successful Canvey based Adult Drama Group, Cast & Crew Theatre Workshop, put on their latest production, “Cheshire Cats” a comedy by Gail Young. The show had the audience in roars of laughter, and even a critic from the Amateur Dramatics World described the play as an “absolutely brilliant production”. This was Sarah Lepley’s debut production as Director and this production will put her in good stead for future Directorial roles. Sarah Lepley said “I am delighted at how everything went and also for all the support I was given, not only from this great drama group, but also the War Memorial Hall for allowing us to use their lovely facility, and also the Concord Rangers Football club for lending us

some chairs. What a great community we live in!” All the money donated in the bucket collection and the refreshments will be donated to Lady McAdden Breast Screening trust in Southend. Cast & Crew Theatre workshop are already thinking about their next play that will be performed in July and is the comedy “Prepare to meet thy Tomb” by Norman Robbins. If you would like to be added to the group’s mailing list email your details to enquiries@CastAndCrew.org.uk, like them on Facebook CastAndCrewUk, or give them a call on their phone, 07544 273 535.

History of Castle Point

Chapman Lighthouse - Canvey Island

hapman lighthouse was built in 1851 to warn passing boats of the off shore mud flats.

As the river bed was very unstable, it was not possible to build a conventional lighthouse so a screw pile structure was constructed with accommodation for three keepers. The lighthouse was an iron lattice structure built on seven screw piles driven about 40 feet into the river mud. The living accommodation consisted of a living room, bedroom, kitchen/washroom and a storeroom. The bedroom contained three bunks - one each for the principle keeper and his two assistants. A light tower was fixed on top of the living quarters. The tower was 74 feet high and the light visible for about 11 miles. The whole structure was painted red. There was also a fog-warning bell attached to the tower that gave three strokes in quick succession every 15 seconds during foggy conditions. At low tide it was possible to walk or wade across the half mile of mud to reach the lighthouse and during high tide, there was often a pleasure boat taking holiday makers on a trip around it. During both world wars, the lighthouse was a used as a marshalling point for ships that assembled in convoys to wait for armed escorts who would accompany them to ports as far away as South Africa.

Eventually, the lighthouse was decommissioned on 14th August 1956 when it was discovered that the iron screw piles were rusting away and it was in danger of collapsing. After 106 years of service, demolition of the Chapman Lighthouse began in 1957 and was completed in 1958.

Castle Point Association of Voluntary Services Latest Volunteering Opportunities

f you are looking to do some volutary work in the local area this year, the Southend Association of Voluntary Services has a whole host of opportunities available. Here are just a few of their current opportunities.

create some inspiring spaces for the children to participate in and enjoy, and know you may be creating gardeners of the future! Bouncing Babies!

Furry Friends’ Funds A local animal charity provide assistance dogs to support disabled adults and children, and they can’t do it without your help. They organise all sorts of events, and are looking for volunteers who can spare a few hours to help them. If you have your own transport, love chatting to people and are reasonably fit, this is an ideal opportunity to help provide funds for the future. Golden Oldies Are you a Jack or Jill of all trades, and enjoy getting involved in everything? This local club for the older members of the community provides a place where they can meet new friends, grab a snack or a drink and enjoy different activities in a safe and friendly environment. If you would love to get involved, are friendly and welcoming and can offer a morning or afternoon once a week, then please get in touch to find out more.

A busy, noisy Childrens’ Centre runs a very popular baby clinic every Wednesday afternoon and would like help to ensure parents and children are welcomed with a friendly face. If you have had children, you know how daunting it can be for new mums to get out to clinic, so come and share your experiences and make them feel at home. Patience is essential as it can be very noisy! For more information of these volunteering opportunties and many others in the local area, contact the Castle Point Association of Voluntary Services at: The Tyrells Centre, 39 Seamore Avenue, SSS7 4EX or call 01268 638416. Email: office@castlepointavs.org.uk. Further details are also available at www.castlepointavs.org.uk

Green Fingers If you love being out of doors, gardening and are happy working on your own, a local school and childrens’ centre would love your help. They have a lot of different green spaces that help children to learn and develop, and every year, they enter Southend in Bloom. Help 30
