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.

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.

Local Community Southend Film Festival I

t’s soon time for the 2016 Southend-on-Sea Film Festival!

Yes, film lovers, the eighth annual Southend-on-Sea Film Festival, the largest in Essex, will soon be upon us! Beginning on Thursday 26th May with a prestigious Opening Gala at the Odeon, the main festival will follow from Friday 27th to Monday 30th May, the late May Bank Holiday weekend, at the sumptuous Park Inn Palace Hotel. The Gala screenings are both World Premieres. Festival Director Paul Cotgrove says “For our Opening Gala I have been delighted to select London Heist, a powerful, fast-paced thriller starring Craig Fairbrass. This will be the centrepiece of this prestigious black tie event, at which you will have the chance to walk up

the red carpet alongside Craig and our many guests. Our Closing Gala will showcase one of Southend’s favourite sons, actor Mike Edmonds, in the affectionate documentary Under the Radar: The Mike Edmonds Story.” New British features are sprinkled throughout the festival, together with the usual mix of World Cinema, classics, documentaries, children’s films and audience favourites. And you’ll find many of the features are supported by short films, all of which are from the UK, emphasising just how much talent there is in our own industry. For more information including details of the opening and closing galas and all film timings visit www. southendfilmfestival.com.

History of Castle Point Hadleigh Castle

adleigh Castle was built in the 1230s during the reign of King Henry III and is the most important late-medieval castle in Essex. It is now preserved by English Heritage as a Grade 1 listed building. The castle was originally built for Hubert de Burgh, the 1st Earl of Kent. Hubert was, at the time, one of the countries most powerful men being chief justiciar to King Henry. The castle was returned to the crown in 1232 by Henry after Hubert fell out of favour and was imprisoned. The castle was built of Kentish ragstone and cemented by mortar made up of a large proportion of seashells, mainly cockleshells from the cockle beds of Canvey Island. In around 1365 it was rebuilt and heavily extended by Edward III to guard London against possible attacks by the French and it is mainly these extensions that remain for us to see today. It became the custom that the castle and its adjoining 500 acre park was given to a tenant for life, reverting to the King on their death, Traditionally, the tenant would usually be the Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consort and so belonged to several English queens in the 15th and 16th centuries. These included Elizabeth Woodville (wife of Edward IV) and three wives of Henry VIII - Catherine of Aragon, Anne of Cleves and Catherine Parr. In 1551, it was sold by Edward VI for ÂŁ700 to Lord Rich of Leez Priory who used the castle as a source of stone for other buildings such as churches. The castle later passed from the possession of Lord Rich to the Barnard family.

After years of neglect and the effects of land subsidence, the castle was in ruins by the 17th Century and just two towers that were constructed during the time of Edward III still remain. One of the three-storey towers at the Eastern side (which you can see on the picture above) stands almost to its full original height. The second tower, however, has not fared so well and only approximately two-thirds of it remain standing. The foundation of the great hall, two solars and the kitchen still remain and there is also a barbican which once stood adjacent to a swing-bridge. (A barbican is a fortified gateway or tower that would have been used for defensive purposes.) The English painter John Constable visited Hadleigh in 1814 and made a small drawing of the castle which he then used to create ten oil sketches and a single painting in 1829.

They organise all sorts of events, and are looking for volunteers who can spare a few hours to help them.

Not only will be you improving other people’s well-being, you also get the chance to enjoy and explore the art work.
