Welcome

to your August issue...

F

irst of all, huge congratulations go to our eldest son, Will and his bride, Emily who made July 9th their very special day, getting married in idyllic surrounds in Northamptonshire.

Everything went smoothly and, of course, the sun couldn’t help but shine on the loving couple, (slap bang in the middle of a 32 degree plus heatwave!) Not wishing to be outdone, younger brother, Ed got a big fat “Yes” when he asked Elissa to be his wife in July – even more hearty congratulations go to them both.

Those longed-for summer holidays are now here and, for the first time in years, our area is subject to a hosepipe ban. Hopefully, you are all coping with these high temperatures and, if youngsters are involved, you’re managing to keep them and yourself COOL, in more ways than one! Soon be September and back to school!!

As the second heatwave of the summer continues, the way it divides opinions remains a source of amusement.

Some, who would spend a fortune to fly to their holiday destination for the sun complain that it’s too hot; others grin and bear it stoically, some even removing their jumpers along the way!

On July 30th, 1966, the immortal phrase, “They think it’s all over … it is now!” became synonymous with England football’s greatest moment, winning the 1966 World Cup. Sadly, for England fans those same words have come back to haunt us, losing in the semi-final to Argentina. It might get you thinking (but not singing!) “Wonder … when”?

Linchfield Academy - A PGL Adventure to Remember The Year 6 pupils from Linchfield Academy could hardly contain their excitement as they arrived at PGL for their residential adventure.

On the first morning, the towering climbing wall stood proudly in front of them. Some pupils felt nervous as they clipped on their harnesses, but with encouragement from their friends and instructors, they climbed higher than they ever thought possible.

Next came archery. With bows in hand and targets in sight, the children learned the importance of focus, patience and perseverance. The rope-based challenges tested teamwork more than anything else.

Balancing on high ropes and tackling tricky obstacles required courage and trust. Finally, the children took

4

part in raft building, putting their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test.

As the days passed, friendships grew stronger and laughter filled every activity. Around mealtimes and during evening downtime, pupils shared stories from the day’s adventures and created memories they would never forget.

By the time it was time to head home, every child had achieved something they were proud of. The PGL residential wasn’t just about climbing walls, hitting targets or conquering rope courses - it was about building confidence, resilience, independence and teamwork.

Meet Suzanne Stevenson Bringing Compassionate Hearing Care to Market Deeping

hen it comes to hearing care, experience and understanding go hand in hand – and few people appreciate that more than audiologist Suzanne Stevenson.

Having qualified in 2002, Suzanne has spent more than twenty years helping people overcome hearing loss and rediscover the sounds that make life so special. She has recently led the hearing care service at Sound Advice Hearing’s King’s Lynn branch but is now delighted to be caring for patients closer to home at the Market Deeping clinic, where she lives.

WHY DO WE NEED A PROPERTY PROTECTION TRUST?

M

ost people hope that their estate will pass on to their loved ones eventually. But this will not happen for many unless careful arrangements have been made to protect their assets from being taken towards the end of their life to pay for care home fees.

The solution to help protect your estate is a Will incorporating a Property Protection Trust (PPT).

A testamentary PPT can only be executed whilst both partners remain alive. Upon death of the first partner, their will specifies that their share of the property is placed into trust and names the ultimate beneficiary of this share, normally the children of the deceased.

The surviving partner, under the terms of the trust, has the unequivocal right to remain living in the property for the rest of their life. On the death of

Westminster Law will assess your current circumstances and arrange the trust that will provide the best protection for you, your family and your assets.

This last point can be of particular interest to couples who have come together but have children from different partners. A PPT can help each person in a relationship ensure that their children inherit their share of the property, while giving their surviving partner the ability to live in the property for the rest of their life. If the surviving partner wants to move to another property, they can still sell the property and the proceeds be used to purchase a new property; the terms of the trust remain over the new property.

the second partner the trust comes to an end, and the property passes to the beneficiaries. As the surviving partner does not own the deceased's share of the property it is fully protected for the beneficiaries, so if the surviving partner requires care, or even remarries, this share of the children's inheritance is protected.

“Play & Plan” is Back:

Award-winning home care in Peterborough

MEG DUGDALE W&P Legal

Why Parents Are Racing to Book Their Spot

B

ack in January, I told you about something a little different we had started at W&P Legal: Play & Plan, our soft play and will-writing sessions at The Yard in Stamford, and why, as a mum myself, I understood exactly why “sort out our wills” kept slipping to the bottom of the to-do list. What I didn’t quite expect was just how quickly it would catch on.

Since that first session, we have welcomed families through the doors, watched children tire themselves out on the soft play, and sat down with parents who had been meaning to write their will for years. All of them left with a plan in place, or well on their way to one, and that relief that comes from finally ticking off the thing you had been avoiding.

Feedback has been the best part of running these sessions. A lot of parents have told me how

much easier it felt knowing it was a mum on the other side of the table, someone who has lived the same juggle and explains things in plain, jargon-free terms, rather than a solicitor with no idea what your week actually looks like. Add in children happily occupied, and a daunting subject suddenly feels manageable.

A few families instructed us to start their wills there and then. Others took the information away and came back to us afterwards. Either way works; there is no pressure and no obligation.

The honest answer for why it keeps selling out is that Play & Plan solves a problem most willwriting services don’t think about. The obstacle was never really about understanding wills, it was finding thirty uninterrupted minutes and something to occupy the kids. Take those two things off the table, and a daunting task becomes something you can do on a Tuesday morning.

Because of how quickly previous dates have filled up, we have further sessions running, with our next one taking place in August. Each session includes ninety minutes of fully funded soft play for the children, a free, no-obligation thirty-minute will consultation for parents, and time afterwards to relax and enjoy the venue together.

Spaces are limited and go quickly, so if you would like to join us, don’t wait too long. To register your interest and find out our upcoming dates, either email me at meg@wplegal. co.uk, pop me a message on 07890 207432 or Instagram @the_estateplanningmum.

BY TREVOR LANGLEY

BEER

W I N E S

Some Popular White Favourites hite wines are a favourite with many people. Whether a preference is for a dry production, medium or sweeter delectation, white wines can be enjoyed by themselves (perhaps during a quiet moment), but also make ideal accompaniments to numerous dishes of cuisine, complementing the flavours of foods. Sparkling productions are hugely popular too.

GELBER MUSKATELLER (12% vol) comes from Austria. This dry Muscat white wine has been carefully chosen for the ‘Loved & Found’ range of wines. Flowers and fruits are appreciated on the nose and in the flavour. I found this wine to be both elegant and fresh, for the mouthfeel and the palate’s sensation.

Villa Maria wine productions (founded 1961) is a wellrenowned, multi award-winning New Zealand brand of wines.

VILLA MARIA MARLBOROUGH SAUVIGNON BLANC (12% vol) has proved its popularity over many years. Overtones of gooseberry, passion fruit and lime are very much evident in this classic delectation, which accompanies fish/seafood and salad dishes admirably. For further information, including tastings, experiences, winery tours and more, please visit their website.

Another Sauvignon Blanc production that gained my 54 20

D I S C O V E R I N G March

attention was No.1 NEW ZEALAND SAUVIGNON BLANC (13% vol), which is produced in partnership with the highly respected Astrolabe winery, utilising grapes grown in the Awatere Valley, reputed to be one of the best areas in New Zealand for Sauvignon Blanc grape productions. Crisp and with a splendid mouthfeel, plus an extended finish, for the palate’s delight, I rated this wine as a fantastic accompaniment to white meats, fish dishes and salads.

For a sparkling white wine (it doesn’t always have to be Champagne) DENBIES WHITEDOWNS BRUT (12.5% vol) does not disappoint in any way. This production is extremely popular when a ‘sparkler’ is required. Fresh ripe fruits, for the mouth’s pleasures, put this crisp wine amongst the leaders for English sparkling wine productions.

Words from the Mayor of Market Deeping

Councillor Debbie Jones

Here in Market Deeping, we have every reason to celebrate this summer.

Y

ou’ll notice the stunning hanging baskets that adorn our High Street which provide a warm welcome to residents and visitors alike.

Our parks and green spaces are also looking their very best, all because of the dedication and hard work of our parkkeepers. On behalf of the Town Council, I extend my sincere thanks to them for all they do.

Our town comes alive with a fantastic programme of events. From the much-loved Deepings Dog Show, legendary Deepings Duck Race to the everpopular Deepings Raft Race and Street Fair, there are countless opportunities to enjoy time here with family and friends, and welcome visitors too.

One of the highlights of the summer is the Summer Reading Challenge at Market Deeping Library.

While many people know it as a fantastic initiative for children, I’m delighted that this year the challenge has been extended to include adults as well. All these events demonstrate the incredible dedication of the volunteers, community groups and local organisations who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Together with our exceptional clerks and parkkeepers, they play an invaluable role in making Market Deeping so good.

locally and taking part in the awards, we can all play a part in helping our town continue to flourish.

Summer is also a wonderful opportunity to support our fantastic local businesses. Our independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs are the heart of our town, offering a warm welcome and exceptional service throughout the year.

One of the things I value most about Market Deeping is the strength of our community spirit.

Time and again, we see residents supporting local charities, attending community events, volunteering their time and looking out for one another. It is this sense of togetherness that defines our town and makes it such a wonderful place to call home.

Local History

The Origin of Market Gate KINDLY SUPPLIED BY DEEPINGS HERITAGE

T

his shopping precinct in Market Deeping was opened in 1984, on the site of an ancient public house called The King’s Head. Developers had agreed to retain the old building on the left-hand side of the archway, but during alterations the walls became unstable and they knocked it down. As compensation for losing such historic premises, the frontage of Market Gate was designed with a similar appearance.

The King’s Head Inn traded from the 1600s and was ideally situated opposite a bridge, used by travellers entering Deeping from the Peterborough road. Behind the pub there was a yard with stables, a brewhouse and a paddock at the back. When Sarah Fripps was licensee in the early 1700s, she owned beef forks, cheese plates and a wide range of utensils for cooking and serving food. There was ale in the cellar with dozens of bottles and mugs.

As well as providing refreshments, the inn was a commercial hub. Samples of clover seed could be inspected there on market days; it was a venue for auctions; and it housed an excise

office. An advertisement in 1806 read, “Every Friday those who labour under any disease may send their water to the Wilford doctor at the King’s Head.”

The Royal Perseverance stagecoach from Boston to London called at the inn daily at 8am in 1817.

During the 1840s, annual pigeon shooting competitions were held in the paddock with prizes of two fat pigs. By that date, the old wooden bridge opposite the pub had been replaced by the present stone bridge at the opposite end of the Market Place, and the importance of the King’s Head declined. It still had a paddock and stables, but other outbuildings in the yard were converted into cottages and there was a barber’s shop fronting the street on the right-hand side of the archway. In later years, it was only licensed for the sale of beer and closed in 1914 when it was considered surplus to public needs, with two other licensed premises close by. The old inn then became a private house.

After serious flooding in 1947, when the River Welland overflowed and ran straight through one of the cottages on the south side of High Street, its residents had a new house built in place of the shop which adjoined the former inn. That property was also pulled down to create Market Gate, and stone obtained from the demolition of the pub and two other barns was re-used in the new development. With its clock tower and mews-style appearance, accessed through large archways, the shopping precinct still gives the sense of walking into an old inn yard.

Reliable, Experienced and “Keeping it Local” When you are brought up in a family which has a long tradition of expertise and success in a particular field, it is often the case that you will soon find your way into “following in dad’s footsteps”.

W

es Buckland, who has recently established WB Roofing Solutions, explained just how he was one such, working amongst family members “on the roofs” in his early teenage years and then making a career of it Wes is from Market Deeping and very familiar with the local area and in particular, the local suppliers of roofing materials and service providers. It was most encouraging to hear how he insists on “keeping it all local”. This involves using such reputable companies as Castle Roofing Supplies on the Northfields Industrial Estate in Market Deeping, Branch Brothers in Deeping St James and Bourne Skip Hire.

Although his company is only very much in its infancy, Wes can call upon over fifteen years of experience in all aspects of the roofing profession with local firms. It had always been his ambition to start his own business and so, he has now made the decision to go it alone.

WB Roofing Solutions will be able and willing to handle all aspects of domestic roofing work. This means going from tracing and fixing roof leaks, through repairs to existing structures, to installing fascias, soffits and guttering, to specialist ‘torch on mineral felt’ work on flat roofs.

Wes is keen to point out that his firm are part of two highly regarded national networks, designed to give potential customers the confidence to hire someone who they can trust and who will provide a top-quality experience. “Approved Roofers” is a long-established nationwide directory connecting homeowners with local roofing contractors. They verify the insurance and credentials of their members to ensure that you can make your choice of contractor with confidence. In a similar way, “Roofing Networks” provides the means by which roofing contractors can be identified, checked for their credentials and then hired. It gives you, the customer, complete peace of mind and an opportunity to comment on the quality of the work undertaken afterwards.

Home insurance and/or travel insurance will cover most cases of theft or accidental damage (be sure to check your policy) but it's still a good practice to take a few simple steps to make sure your devices are as safe as they can be.

• Backup your devices: It’s so simple and it should be something you do regularly anyway but let's be honest, it’s easy to forget. Make it a priority to get everything backed up before you leave.

Accidents happen and it’s easy to lose all your important data with just the slip of a hand. Don't just back up to the cloud, consider having a backup to a separate hard drive.

• Update your software: Again, a simple task that’s easily forgotten but can make a huge difference if anything goes wrong. Making sure you have up-todate security software is paramount!

• Secure your devices: Use a PIN, pattern lock or two factor authentication. Don’t forget to add security authentication to your laptops and PC’s.

• Be wary of which Wi-Fi you connect to: It's tempting to connect to any free Wi-Fi when you’re away and save using up your valuable data allowance but really think carefully before connecting to unsecured public Wi-Fi. There’s a huge risk that your devices could be hacked, sensitive data stolen or infected with malware.

• Be careful what you share on social media: You might think you’re just making your friends envious with your beach or overseas foodie photos – but if you make it public, you’re away from home any thieves will be able to take advantage of your absence. Now is a great time to check who sees your posts and consider making it private to friends only so you know only those you trust can see where you are.

Safe Local Trades member Ben from File Genie and his team can offer a wealth of advice and support whether updating your software and backing up your devices or if you think your device is not operating correctly. Get in touch at https://member. safelocaltrades.com/file-genie AUGUST 2026

Forty Women, Ten Weeks, One Stage.

Now is the Moment to Find Your Voice!

Women across Peterborough and beyond are being invited to take on a unique musical challenge, as the hugely popular Sing for Life project returns, transforming complete beginners into confident singers in just ten weeks.

L

aunching in September, the project offers around forty local women the chance to discover talents they never knew they had as they take on the experience of a lifetime.

No audition. No previous singing experience. Just a willingness to have fun and give it your best shot.

Participants will learn to sing, build confidence, improve their mental wellbeing and experience the thrill of performing in front of a live audience at The Cresset in Peterborough on November 13th. Along the way, they’ll make lasting friendships and help support local families by raising vital funds for charity partner Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice.

Last year’s project was an enormous success. More than a hundred women

completed the challenge, raising more than £10,000 in sponsorship, while delivering a memorable sell-out performance and proving beyond doubt that singing can genuinely change lives… including your own!

The project begins with relaxed sign-up sessions at the John Mansfield Campus in Peterborough. There’s no audition - just a simple voice test to find out whether your voice is naturally higher or lower, and where it will sit within the group. No judgement, no pressure, just a warm welcome and a chance to meet the team.

Whether you’ve always wanted to sing, are looking for a new challenge, want to meet new people or simply fancy doing something extraordinary this autumn, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for!

"An incredible team of professionals guiding us through to achieve a superb performance.

A massive boost not only to our selfconfidence but also for a very special charity.

So inspiring and uplifting. This is something you need to do."

"I didn't expect to be so emotional, but being on stage with these amazing people and hearing the support from everyone around us brought tears to my eyes!"

Ready to take the first step?
