Could you save your Child’s life? 60% admit they couldn’t! More than one million children a year in the UK are involved in a serious accident in the home!! Let alone all the other serious accidents that occur elsewhere! It only takes seconds for an accident to happen but it takes a life time to deal with the consequences of knowing that your child suffered or worse, because you couldn’t provide them the best possible Emergency First Aid, prior to the arrival of the Professionals. It’s fair to say that most parents understand the importance of emergency first aid training but unfortunately more than half never ‘get round’ to it. This could be for many reasons: Some chose to ignore the idea believing it will never happen (until the life critical time it does). Others think calling an for an ambulance will be enough. But consider this... You discover your baby/child or other loved one unconscious and not breathing. You’re otherwise alone, with no knowledge of effective CPR. Your heart is suddenly beating faster than it’s ever felt before. What are you meant to do, push on their chest a bit? But how hard, how many times? How many breaths should you put into their mouth? You look at them lying there, motionless and grey. You feel bewildered, afraid. What if you press too hard or not hard enough? You fumble frantically for your mobile phone, and with shaking hands unlock it, dial 999 and explain the circumstances and give your location to the operator. 60 seconds have passed. The emergency call is dispatched to the nearest ambulance crew that happen to be at a stand by point on the outskirts of town. On receiving the call, the crew run downstairs, out of the building and into the ambulance. The driver starts up, then, with lights, siren and seat belts on, they pull away. By the point at which they are able to safely enter onto the main road another minute has passed. It then takes 5 minutes for the crew to get through rush hour traffic to your location and park the ambulance in a safe place. Time slips by as the crew rush to locate you. More than 7 minutes have passed at this point. A paramedic immediately commences CPR on your loved one. In this circumstance would the casualty live? If they did survive would they be brain damaged from lack of oxygen? Being that this is a hypothetical emergency it’s impossible to say of course. What is fact however, is that the best survival rates where cardiac arrest has occurred, apply to casualties that received the earliest possible CPR, early defibrillation and early advanced care. If you’re a parent and wouldn’t know what to do if the above was your emergency - for their sake, act now!! 2015
could be the year you make a life saving difference!!

IS 2015 A GOOD TIME TO INVEST IN PROPERTY? James Hawkesford, Managing Director of Hawkesford Estate Agents explains current market trends
Election years often bring a certain amount of uncertainty to the property market and early indications would lead us to believe that this year is going to be no different. My own view is that unless we get a BNP / UKIP / Monster Raving Looney Party coalition I doubt that much will change whoever is elected.
“Mortgage rates available are superb.” There is a lack of property coming onto the market both at a local and national level, and if priced correctly any that does is sold very quickly and often before it is advertised in the press or on any of the web portals. The sub £250,000 market is still very strong, this is where there is the highest
demand, not only from first time buyers, and those downsizing, but it is this sector where the majority investors buy in order to rent out, and also the area of the market most purchased by divorcees!
“Many will look at this option and buy a property to let out in order to provide an income into retirement.” The changes to the pensions that come into effect later this year could have a significant impact on the property market, instead of buying an annuity it will now be possible to take it as a lump sum and I feel that many will look at this option and buy a property to let out in order to provide an income into retirement.
the people who can least afford it. There is however more property beginning to be constructed now which will help relieve some of this pressure and the mortgage rates available are superb. If you would welcome any advice on the buying or selling of property or would like to find more out about the rental sector please call Hawkesford on 01926 811848 or visit our website at www.hawkesford.co.uk.
So is 2015 a good time to invest in property? – Absolutely!
So once again it will be the lower end of the market that sees the most pressure on prices and this will affect

Should you or a loved one be paying Care Fees?
a
The Care Team at Quality Solicitors Moore and Tibbits is on hand to advise you on your unique circumstances.
re you, or someone you love, facing difficult decisions about care? This can include considering care packages at home or moving to a residential or nursing care home, all of which can have significant financial consequences for you and your family. The Care Team at Quality Solicitors Moore & Tibbits have extensive experience in advising and supporting vulnerable clients, their families and professionals regarding the legal aspects of organising and paying for care including entitlement to NHS Continuing Health Care funding. Continuing Health Care is a package of health and social care fully funded by the NHS. The criteria for being eligible for this funding is dependant only on the individual having a ‘primary health need’, the amount of an individual’s income or savings are NOT taken into account. However, the threshold for eligibility is high and the assessment process can be complicated and upsetting and many find it incredibly difficult to secure funding. As a result people may inadvertently pay for some or all of their care fees and our team has successfully recovered significant sums for clients in this regard.
“Aside from thanking you as a matter of professional courtesy, I’d like to add how refreshing it has been to deal with someone who, obviously, personally cares about the outcome. It’s sadly lacking nowadays, the older generation and less capable people in society are often, at best, tolerated or dismissed entirely. This aspect of the process, especially yesterday, I appreciated as much as the outcome.” Mr H
We offer support and advice that is clear and easy to understand and tailored to the unique circumstances of your case and we ensure that our client’s dignity and rights are preserved at all times. We work closely with various local charities including Age UK Warwickshire, Alzheimer’s UK and the Guideposts and offer free legal advice clinics at various locations across Warwickshire. If you have a query regarding care, please do not hesitate to call our friendly team on 01926 491181 for free initial advice. Alternatively, visit our website www.qualitysolicitors.com/ moore-tibbits for details of our free legal advice clinics.

Restoration
at Majestic Motors
Before At Majestic Motors we specialise in restoring classic cars and bikes. However, we also cater for the more unusual and demanding projects like customising and substantial modification. One of the more interesting projects in the MM workshops at the moment is a TVR Cerbera. The customer wants to transform the
car into a supercar, loosely based on the Cerbera Speed 12, but with some of his own design tweaks. The first stage was to fully strip the donor car, and the body has since been returned to the customer for the modifications. Meanwhile, the chassis has been modified to allow fitment of larger wheels. The chassis and the suspension components
have been stripped back to bare metal and re-furbished to modern manufacturer standard. The rolling chassis will be on display at the Practical Classics Restoration Show at the NEC 27th and 28th March. You can also follow the progress of the build on our Facebook page and our website.

Beautiful Artificial Lawns
without the upkeep!
Clean and safe ■ No mowing ■ No weeds No more muddy patches Hard wearing ■ Unaffected by weather/uv stabilized Green and usable all year round ■ Perfect for pets
Finding an artificial grass product that has the look of natural grass was never an option until recently. But with developments in the last 2-3 years we can now offer you a choice of looks that will give you the dream lawn all year round. We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.

Lighting Cutting-edge lighting designs can transform your garden – and don’t have to cost a fortune!
Installing lighting in the garden has often been seen as a costly luxury and something for large country manor houses – but with the advances in technology this is no longer the case. With the introduction of LED (light emitting diodes) technology, we have seen an increase in demand for outdoor lighting for gardens of all shapes and sizes. Now spring has arrived it is the ideal time to give your garden a new lease of life for summer! Take the indoors outside when you make your garden a beautiful space ideal for socialising, dinner parties and somewhere the whole family can enjoy. Some well-placed lighting can make your garden a really usable space that will enhance your lifestyle. Bring out the spirit of your garden and show off some key features with the latest LED Colour technology. The best LEDs are now powerful enough to light up large trees, water features, drive ways and patio areas. With a lifespan of 50,000 hours with low running costs they are a cost effective way to light-up your garden. You can save more money when you complete your installation with smart sensors, which turn the lights on and off automatically when the sun goes down and up. Williams Electrical Installations Ltd has experience installing a full range of outdoor lighting from essential security lighting to complete garden lighting schemes. Give us a call on 07889 238822 to discuss your requirements or get advice on what you can do to bring your garden to life.
