With ongoing development of the vehicle, the exact performance (including emissions and consumption performance) is not yet set. All models have been tested in accordance with the World Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) and as such all mpg and CO 2 figures quoted are full WLTP figures. WLTP figures may be adjusted for the final vehicle and according to specification. The CO 2 emission (Diesel – 308g/km, Petrol – 346g/km) and fuel consumption (Diesel – 23.9mpg, Petrol – 18.5mpg) figures quoted by INEOS are Combined Cycle estimates. The low figure is from a base vehicle, high from fully optioned vehicle with off-road tyres. Passenger (M1) vehicles are tested with 15% of payload. Commercial (N1) vehicles are tested with 28% of payload (Bodystyle and powertrain availability may vary by market). These figures may not reflect real world driving conditions, which will depend upon a number of factors including variations in weather, driving styles, vehicle load and accessories fitted (post-registration). Final CO 2 emissions figures and resulting associated pricing will be confirmed by INEOS Automotive or your selected Retail Partner prior to order confirmation. Tests will be performed in accordance with legislation in force at the time of type approval.

HIGHLIGHTS

The Mall Blackburn teams up with Secret Santa to deliver magic this Christmas The Mall Blackburn is once again supporting Secret Santa in its bid to deliver toys to the area’s most underprivileged families this Christmas.

A donation station has been set up outside The Mall’s Ask Me Point as part of the 2022 toy appeal and shoppers are being asked to drop off presents for more than 1000 children across the borough.

Loraine Jones, General Manager at The Mall Blackburn, said: “Secret Santa has grown to become a lifeline for families and individuals across Blackburn with Darwen and their efforts to help people all year round are relentless.

“We assist them with their Easter and Secret Sheik appeals and we are delighted to be an official collection point for Christmas gifts again this year.

“The local community always rallies round to make sure even the most disadvantaged children in our area can enjoy opening some lovingly chosen gifts on Christmas Day.” Phil Boulding, who founded Secret Santa with his wife Karen, said: “While Christmas should be the most wonderful time of the year, it can be very worrying for families who cannot afford to buy presents for their children.

“Sadly, this year has been extremely difficult with many more families finding themselves in this position, so we will work extra hard to help as many as possible.

“We’re aiming to provide a sack of seven presents to more than 1000 local children to open on Christmas morning.

“We would also be very grateful for cash donations that allow us to purchase age/gender specific gifts.

“Cash donations allow us to fill gaps between what toys are donated, and the toys that we need.

“These are then delivered to parents or carers to wrap up and give to the area’s little ones most in need.”

In 2019, The Mall made a rent-free store available to act as the Secret Santa HQ and has been working with them for the last three years.

Located below the clock tower on King William Street, the unit gives the organisation a high street presence to sell new and preloved items and raise awareness of its work.

In 2021 Secret Santa was selected as The Mall’s Charity of the Year, with more than £3600 being raised.

Collection containers for toy donations are available at The Mall’s Ask Me Point and people can donate cash in store or online.

TOTAL TRANSFORMATION

A

In what was a complex challenge, the professionals at Renovo Dental formulated a dental implant plan that has been a huge success for patient Jack Morris

s an extremely active 83-yearold, Jack Morris has undergone life-changing, dental implant treatment that has given him the smile he has always wanted.

Jack has also seen the benefits to his health and confidence too – and it’s all thanks to the professionals at Renovo Dental.

Seeking specialist dental treatment, patients throughout the UK travel to the new, Ribble Valley-based Renovo Dental, where there is a top team of dental specialists, in-house dental technicians and general practitioners working with some of the very latest state-of-the-art technology.

After wearing loose dentures for several years and being advised on numerous occasions there was insufficient bone for dental implants, Jack felt he had come to the end of the road in his attempts to resolve the problem.

But when he asked for a consultation with the team at Renovo Dental, he began to see light at the end of the tunnel, as he explains: “I had lost my upper teeth at quite an early

Dr Usman Riaz of Renovo Dental, having undergone implants with him almost a decade ago.

“She was highly pleased with her implants,” says Jack. “I had always been told that I had insufficient bone to have implants and that it would be too complex – I wasn’t making any progress in improving the situation so I asked Shirley if Usman would see me for an assessment.”

Usman, a highly experienced clinician with

“During the initial assessment a CT scan was done and yes, it revealed Jack didn’t have sufficient bone. So, we agreed that bone grafting was the solution.”

Bone grafting was performed to replace destroyed bone surrounding the teeth roots.

The bone graft then helped to serve as a platform for the regrowth of natural bone.

Testament to their skills, the team at Renovo, carried out the bone graft procedure in the same visit as the implant placements.

Working alongside Usman on Jack’s dentistry was highly experienced specialist periodontist and implant surgeon Dr Khurrum Hussain, who completed specialist training in periodontology at the prestigious Eastman Dental Institute, London.

As a periodontal specialist, he deals with gum disease and the soft tissue surrounding the palate, degenerating bone issues and failing implants.

Following treatment to improve bone density and the health of Jack’s gums, a period of healing followed before the final implant-supported teeth were fitted – and the results have been transformative for Jack:

Usman explains: “Jack had been told that implants just weren’t possible, but he persevered. He was struggling with loose fitting, partial dentures and was finding it difficult to eat.

“The team at Renovo have been superb!

I can’t recommend them highly enough.

They treat you as a client with total respect – you’re not just a number.

“All the staff are so reassuring. It’s made a terrific difference to my life,” says Jack, who spends time with Shirley in Tenerife each year. “I can now eat okay – and I like my food!” says the former award-winning Bolton butcher.

Speaking about Jack’s treatment, Usman adds: “Jack is a really sociable guy, prominent in the community and resolving his dental problems was a big thing for him. It wasn’t just about aesthetics it was a functional issue that was affecting his quality of life.”

As a brand-new clinic, Renovo has invested in the latest digital dental technology, including a state-of-the-art CT scanner which allows the team to plan and perform very precise implant surgery. This CT-guided surgery for implants is faster, easier and more efficient for surgeons and safer, more comfortable and results in faster healing for patients.

a special interest in aesthetic and implant dentistry, readily agreed to see Jack, who went along to the beautifully restored Renovo surgery in the village of Chatburn: “Usman carried out the assessment – and while he said implants would be quite complex, he said it was possible.”

Preparation is the key to the success and the team of dental nurses, dental technicians and implant surgeons, all play their part on the day.

“Like all our other patients, the implants have completely changed Jack’s smile,” adds Usman. “Implants can transform people – they gain confidence and restore self-esteem.

It may sound a cliché, but this treatment really does change their lives.” n Renovo Dental treats patients throughout the region, who have been referred by their general dentist as well as self-referrals

Ribble Valley Holiday Homes

TRAVEL

Our cottages promise to be perfect for any occasion!

Whether it’s that relaxing hot tub escape, a special family gathering or an exciting milestone celebration with your nearest and dearest, our modern holiday cottages have been built with both functionality and comfort in mind while maintaining a traditional countryside look from the outside. Each of our distinctive homes is configured with sociable, open plan kitchen/dining rooms with Smart TVs, woodburning stoves and access to private, enclosed gardens.

Contemporary en-suite bedrooms with comfortable super king sized or large single beds come as standard with ambient underfloor heating throughout.

If you fancy leaving the comfort of your cottage, we’re ideally placed not far from the larger cities of Preston, Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds with museums, attractions and shopping outlets. A little closer to home are both Clitheroe and Longridge which have a combination of high street shops and independent retailers to visit as well as an abundance of cafes and bars. The real perk of the Ribble Valley is the heaps of quaint local villages to explore, just like Ribchester itself, each with charming features, cosy rustic pubs and beautiful countryside scenery on tap!

Whatever your occasion, our dedicated in-house team is incredibly passionate and on hand to ensure your accommodation is always pristine, warm and welcoming. They pride themselves on creating the fluffiest robes and towels as well as making sure the linens are smooth and crisp. They also happen to be experts on the Ribble Valley and will happily make suggestions on tried and tested outdoor escapes, local attractions and the best places to sample brilliant local produce.

Take your time to discover what makes the Ribble Valley great. With Forest of Bowland (AONB), the Yorkshire Dales and The Lake District within easy reach, you’ll be spoilt for choice! Whether you’re out and about or relaxing in the bubbles of your own, private hot tub with friends, we’re confident you will fall in love with your home from home.

at the Old Coach House

THE PRE-LOVED ECONOMY IS GATHERING PACE! The ever-changing British economy is throwing up all sorts of challenges for families across the Ribble Valley and surrounding areas. Here at The Old Coach House Antiques, based on Waddington Road, we are adapting to the challenges by offering pre-loved items to suit all budgets.

Where antiques meet vintage, we have an exciting array of items for inside and outdoor areas. Spread across four rooms, we have inspirational displays of antique furniture, vintage, curios, architectural and garden furniture. Salvage and garden items are proving very popular now with rural farming bygones especially sought after in the Ribble Valley.

Our stock is rotated on a weekly basis with sourcing from local auctions as far away as Harrogate, York, and the Yorkshire Dales.

We also regularly purchase local house clearances, all providing a regular source of items with local interest.

Here at the Old Coach House, we are entering our third year trading and rapidly approaching our third Christmas. We will have plenty of fabulous gift ideas for the run up to the festive period with a few surprises along the way!
