Inconsiderate parking The number of inconsiderate parking complaints to Doncaster Council has increased over the last few months. The Council wishes to raise awareness of the concerns of local residents in the area with regards to drivers parking inconsiderately and spoiling grass verges or obstructing the highway. Where parking restrictions (yellow lines) have been introduced, they have been done so for reasons of road safety and where parking problems have occurred, for example outside local shops and schools. Doncaster Council is working in partnership to make your community cleaner, safer and greener and would kindly remind all drivers to

follow the rules and guidance set out in the Highway Code. Council staff will be out on patrol to enforce any motorist caught parking in breach of restrictions and will be issued with a £70 penalty charge notice. Sally Dean, Activities & Engagement Officer East Neighbourhood Support Team
THE M25 HOUSING AND SUPPORT GROUP are very pleased to announce that they have recently been granted funding from Doncaster Supporting People to establish Nightstop within the Doncaster Region. Doncaster Nightstop will offer vulnerable young people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless short term accommodation in the homes of volunteers. Accommodation is arranged night by night whilst the young person is helped to find a lasting solution to their housing needs. Some young people only need a night‘s breathing space whereas for others it may lead on to a wide range of accommodation options suitable to their needs. M25 are looking for volunteers who can help us make a positive impact on the lives of vulnerable young people. If you have a spare room and time to listen and give support to a young person who may be in distress then we would like to hear from you. We offer comprehensive training and support and volunteers will be provided with financial assistance to cover expenses. Even if you can only spare one night a month we still want to hear from you ý that one night can make all the difference. To find out more about Doncaster Nightstop contact Iona Edwards on 01302 361777 or enquiries@m25group.org.uk.

Skincare Make up Nails Skincare Make up Nails Dear Reader,It has been brought to my attention many times over the years that people have misconceptions about beauty salons - from what I can gather they think they are 'pretty' and 'girly' and just about 'make-up' and 'nails'. I often hear: ' Oh! I couldn't possibly have a manicure - my nails are a mess!' But surely - that's when you need us???? Just a tidy up of the cuticles and removal of dead skin cells from the nail plate can make nails look phenomenally better. So this month I thought I would consider the benefits of visiting a salon and what to 'suss out' when you get there. Firstly: why would you visit a beauty salon? It's not all about beautifying. Don't get me wrong - that side can be lovely, and it is nice to have nails that look absolutely stunning and a facial that makes your skin look healthy and youthful, but over the years salons have changed and have become more paramedical, concentrating much more on overall well-being by introducing more clinic-type treatments alongside the traditional pampering ones. Over the next few months I am going to cover these specialised treatments and explain how they could benefit you. On a daily basis I hear: 'Oh! I didn't know you could do that!' so educating everybody is going to be my mission! Before you commence any treatment, though, do your research. It is important to make sure you can be confident you are to be treated at a salon with a tradition of high professional standards. Are you routinely asked to complete a consultation and consent form? Are there appropriate insurance certificates clearly on display? Are strict hygiene procedures - for example, to equipment - applied in preparation for and during your treatment. If the answer to any of these questions is not an emphatic ‗Yes!‘ then please beware – your health and well-being could be at risk!! Advanced Cosmetic Procedures are not commonly associated with beauty salons.
Here is a list of the skin disorders and blemishes that can be successfully treated:
Thread veins Xanthoma Blood spots Age spots Moles Spider Naevi Verrucae Molluscum Contagiosum
Milia Skin Tags Common & Plantar warts Seborrhoeic warts Sebaceous Cysts Syringoma Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra Hairs in Moles
ACP treatments are safe and effective and offer instantaneous results in many cases. Length of treatment very much depends on the problem and your skin specialist will advise you of this although it is difficult to state a definitive time. The area worked on must not be over treated and your skin reactivity will be taken into account. Spacing technique and treatment intervals will be carefully considered in a treatment plan as well as taking into account your requirements, needs and wishes. Your skin specialist will be pleased to offer you a consultation and price estimate. All of these treatments are available in Perfect Harmony and can be of a huge benefit to many people.

Laura Gilligan, 27 , originally from Sprotbrough, Doncaster owns and runs independent letting agency 3Keys Property Ltd… We asked Laura to share the story of her success in business so far….
I originally set up the business in 2006 when I was on maternity leave from my job in recruitment, I had always had a passion for property and wanting a career change I began studying a home-learning style package to gain an understanding re; the legal side of lettings. Working from my spare room at home I began canvassing landlords and slowly developed a client base. By 2007 the business was demanding more of my time, so I took on the Rossington office and a member of staff to assist me. I had my second daughter in 2008. In the past 3 years as well as raising 2 girls, the business has steadily grown, I currently employ 4 staff members and we have out-grown our Rossington office. As such, I am very proud to announce as a result of our continued success we will be opening a second office, this will be more central, based at Town End, Doncaster (on the old North Bridge). The Rossington office will remain open. 3Keys Property Ltd is an ARLA (Association of Residential Lettings Agents) licensed agent, working to the highest standards in the industry we have a reputation for our hard work and delivering results and continue to maintain excellent relationships with our landlord clients (please let me know if you would like a testimonial from one of our landlords to add to the editorial?). As a result of the expansion I am taking on 2 additional agents and an administrator to staff the new office. Working full time and raising two young children hasn‘t proved an easy task, but the 2 girls in my life who are my inspiration and who I am doing this for, Sienna (4) & Faith (2) just make everything worthwhile.
12
We will be running special offers to celebrate the opening of our new office including reduced letting fees for new clients and discounts for existing landlords. We are also having an Open day on Saturday 7th May 10am - 2pm, welcoming all landlords both new and existing to call in for a glass of bubbly and meet the staff for an informal chat. In the current climate with a lack of movement in the sales market more and more people are turning to letting their properties; an increased number of property owners are finding themselves becoming landlords as a means to achieve an income on static empty properties. The problem here is that many new landlords are inexperienced in this field and often choose an agent without really knowing what they should be looking for: as ARLA members and because we subscribe to the Property Ombudsman our clients can be assured that our staff are trained / qualified to deal with their (most often) valuable asset, their home. What‘s more, many new landlords are unaware that they could be breaching terms of their mortgage by not using an appropriately qualified agent. My advice to anyone thinking about letting their property, would be do your research - lots of new lettings agents are opening up, equally many established estate agents are setting up a lettings divisions, many under-cutting each offer by offering excellent discounted rates which of course are very appealing in the current economic climate where we appreciate everybody is watching their finances, however my closing though on this is the wrong choice of agent at the outset could end up costing you much more in the long run. Laura can be contacted on 01302 867888 or email laura@3keysproperty.co.uk

2011 FAKE FESTIVAL TOUR SHAPING UP TO BE EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING THIS SUMMER Fake Festivals is back at Sandall Park on May 21st bigger and better than ever! Thanks to the biggest Fake Festivals Tour to date due to take place this summer, 2011 should see more towns than ever throughout Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, be able to experience festival fever right on their doorstep. With more dates and performances from some of the best tribute bands in the world, it‘s the perfect destination for your festival fix – enjoy all the atmosphere of a festival minus the two hundred mile round trip in a car buckling under camping gear and monsoon friendly clothing! Featuring celebrated acts from previous tours including Coldplace, Antarctic Monkeys and Oasish, it‘s a festival that can make a guarantee like no other – the British weather can‘t ruin it! Each one is held inside a marquee (no juggling with your brolly and pint of lager whilst rain drips down your nose here) with the bands taking to a main stage boasting a state of the art sound and lighting system. To capture that real festival vibe, there‘s also a secured area with a variety of food stalls, face painting and other activities such as surfing. ―With this year seeing extra Fake Festival dates happening in Worksop, Otley, Barnsley, Rotherham and Thorne, the 2011 tour‘s shaping up to be the biggest and best yet,‖ explains Jez Lee, founder of the event. ―The idea of Fake Festivals was always to bring that authentic festival feeling to your home town instead of having to travel hundreds of miles and
14
pay hundreds of pounds to experience it,‖ he continues. ―Our bands not only sound like the real thing, but also give such a good performance that you may as well be watching the real band themselves – the only difference with our festival is that the beer prices stay the same!‖ Shane Crofts from Coldplace agrees: ―This will be our fifth year touring with Fake Festivals and we have seen it grow and grow. Each year it just gets better and better – the crowds are bigger and the atmosphere is always electric. It‘s a special gig for us, each and every one we play.‖ This year though not only can you get to see lookalike bands who sound amazing, but you may just also get the chance to become a lookalike yourself thanks to a competition run by the Fake Faces agency. To enter, simply make sure you‘re at the festival before 2pm dressed as a lookalike, complete an application form and have some photos taken. A photographer will then choose the best entry and the winner will not only be taken onto the agency‘s books, but also grab themselves free drinks for the rest of the festival. ―Matt Durkin found fame on Britain‘s Got talent mimicking Harry Hill last year, thanks to Fake Faces discovering him at a Fake Festival,‖ explains Jez. ―Who knows who we‘ll find this year? One thing‘s for sure, someone at each festival is going to come to watch a tribute act and may well end up leaving as one!‖ For further information about the festivals and to order early bird tickets, please visit www.fakefestivals.co.uk Sandall Park Fake Festival’s line-up this year includes Blondied, Oasish and Four Fighters.

Doncaster Advanced Motorists Speed and Acceleration Dear readers, Knowing when to use your car‘s power and when to take it easy are skills which every driver needs to master. It isn‘t about driving around at a snails pace, its about using power and acceleration wisely, smoothly and safely. Power is nothing without control. This is true of all aspects of driving and a maxim the Advanced Driver lives by. A powerful sports car is at best wasted and at worst deadly in the hands of the amateurish or lazy driver. Never abuse your car‘s power. Instead learn how the car delivers its power then use the experience to make the most of it by driving as safely, smoothly, and as progressively as possible. Firm acceleration is sometimes necessary –when joining a motorway or when overtaking for example but to make the best use of your car‘s power band takes practice and an understanding of the way it delivers its torque (the power that creates acceleration). Being in the wrong gear at the wrong time can ‗bog‘ the engine down, restricting the car‘s acceleration and possibly putting you in a hazardous situation. It‘s important to learn which part of the rev band delivers the most torque and acceleration. This will ensure you select the right gear for the conditions and the job in hand. Test your sense of deceleration. Here‘s a useful way to test your sense of deceleration. The next time you‘re driving along the road at the national speed limit and see a 30mph or 40mph speed limit sign ahead, try to time the point at which you ‗lift off‘ the accelerator so that the car reaches the speed limit sign at the correct speed, without the need to touch the brakes. On twisty roads you can take this technique a stage further by managing the speed of the car between the bends with accurate use of the accelerator. This will limit the amount of braking you need to do, producing a smoother, more satisfying drive. With smooth road surfaces and powerful, quiet cars, it can take serious concentration not to creep over the speed limit. Advanced Driving is not about driving slowly. A driver who tootles along at 50mph on a busy motorway or a clear country road can be just as dangerous and frustrating as a speed demon. The skilled Advanced Driver looks to make good progress whenever possible by carrying out well-timed overtakes; with smooth, progressive controlled acceleration. Remember just how difficult it would be to enjoy your motoring without a driving licence! If you are interested in the courses that we offer, you‘ll be able to find this information on the Institute of Advanced Motorists website at www.iam.org.uk or Tel: 020 8996 9600 Safe Driving Paul Tuke.
