Huge Hike In Calls For Help North East Doncaster Citizens Advice saw a huge increase in the number of people seeking help from them between 1st September 2014 and 31st December 2014, compared to the same time in 2013. Over 840 people turned to the service for help during that period – over 430 more people than the same period in 2013.

58% of issues dealt with in the period were debt with the bureau handling almost £1.7 million of debt in the 3 months.

The rising cost of energy, food and housing is putting extra pressure on people's finances, with the problem only set to become worse at the start of the New Year. Karen Bothamley, Chief Officer, North East Doncaster CAB, said: “Some budgets are at breaking point with January the time when people take stock of their finances. People who have never experienced money worries before are finding their finances increasingly tight as rises in day to day spending like keeping their home warm, getting to work and putting food on the table is sending them over the edge.

“Payday loans, credit cards and overdrafts are being used to top up people's income as wages are static. There are things people can do to get on top of their finances, including making sure they're getting all of the help available, aren't paying over the odds for things like gas and electricity and prioritising their spending to make sure there is money for essentials like rent, energy bills and water. Its important people don't wait for debts to mount before they seek help. A few early actions could stave off a future financial meltdown.

“If we can help, please contact us on 01405 741457. We won’t judge, and our service is free and completely confidential.”

North East Doncaster CAB is a registered charity number 1096497 providing free, confidential, independent and impartial advice on any subject to all, without discrimination for any reason.

Doncaster Advanced Motorists Braking.

Dear readers, If you’ve ever been in a nodding dog passenger in a car and got out feeling a bit queasy you’ll know the effects of ill-timed braking. Achieving a smooth, progressive and effective braking technique will make every drive safer and more pleasurable for everyone involved.

Braking progressively and smoothly you must develop superb observation and anticipation skills, as this allows you to begin braking earlier should any unexpected hazards arise. Effective braking is a skill that requires practice. You should roll the pressure onto the brake pedal progressively; do most of the braking in the middle phase; roll off the brake; again then select the best gear to make good progress. This method always produces the smoothest drive.

Practice this technique by attempting to produce such a smooth drive that your passengers don’t even realise you are braking; decelerating gradually so that the nose of the car never dips. Well-timed braking will usually make you faster from A to B. Take timing your arrival at a roundabout for example. Look well ahead and asses the traffic on the roundabout, then time your arrival so that you don’t have to stop. The cars that sped past you as you were decelerating early, will be at a standstill trying to find first gear as you slide past and get straight back on the accelerator.

Keep every drive as simple as possible by not overlapping braking steering and gear inputs.

Brake in a straight line.

Even with modern anti-lock brake systems (ABS), it is always best to carry out any firm braking in a straight line before making any steering changes. Any racing driver will tell you that using your brakes in the middle of a bend can upset the balance of the car and affect its handling.

If a situation arises that requires midcorner braking, do so progressively to avoid locking the wheels. Vary the brake pressure accordingly to the road surface and conditions.

Safe driving.

Paul Tuke.

Doncaster Advanced Motorists.
