Flavourz Review_Double Page Editorial 13/12/2017 14:01 Page 1

Flavourz Indian restaurant in Shrewsbury, already have an excellent reputation for authentic, quality food and a friendly welcome. My colleague Eileen and I were really looking forward to visiting for something hot and spicy, on a particularly cold and crisp Wednesday evening. As we approached the restaurant, nestled unassumingly in a small row of shops, we were pleased to see the inviting glow from the vibrant lights of the building. From the outside you may be forgiven for thinking that this restaurant is on the small side, but after a revamp and extension there is now a spacious dining area, with a new bar; which is fully licensed, with ambient lighting and contemporary design, all of which makes for a comfortable and cosy dining experience.

As we entered we were warmly welcomed by AJ

f and his son Jay, it was like greeting an old friend - we sat down, soft music made for a really relaxed atmosphere.

AJ took our drink order, whilst we looked at the extensive menu, and we were provided with poppadum’s and fresh dips, which we grazed on whilst we waiting for our starters. e Mixed Starter, with a combination of both meat and vegetable options, every aspect of which was sensational. e vegetable samosas, which were packed with fresh ingredients and a little kick that really got the taste buds tingling, the tasty chicken and vegetable pakora’s were beautifully light, crispy and fluffy

Flavourz Review_Double Page Editorial 13/12/2017 14:01 Page 2

and the final component; chicken tikka, which was perfectly cooked and impeccably seasoned – it was top class. ere was a steady flow of regulars, popping in to collect a take away or some eating in, each one greeted by name and given time and attention - it was evident that it is not only a reputation for brilliant food but also warmth and friendliness that Flavourz is built upon.

For our main course we had Chicken Myra; an impressive dish which was accompanied by rice and a naan bread. A particularly tasty dish, with a large chicken breast which was tender and bursting with flavour, with interesting additions of spicy boiled eggs; which packed a real punch and potatoes, which Eileen said she would definitely have again in future. For me it was a Chicken and Kofta Curry, cooked with medium spiciness; something I would not normally have chosen but definitely the best dish I have sampled to date; the tangy sauce was truly mouthwatering and the pilau rice was light and fluffy thoroughly enjoyable. We were so full we couldn’t manage dessert, although they have some tempting treats of offer.

f

In summary; Flavourz is an excellent Indian restaurant – possibly one of, if not the best in the area. is is not only because of the 5 Star Food Hygiene rating and amazing dishes prepared by the chef, but a large part of the credit has to go to AJ, his son Jay, and co-owner Bob Stock for creating such a warm a friendly establishment. If you love Indian cuisine then Flavourz should be top of your list for where to visit next. ey also run some brilliant special offers which include a fantastic 5 courses for just £9.95 (adults) and £6.95 (children under 12) on ursdays and Sundays. ey also hold charity curry nights; a recent one of which supported the National Autistic Society, raising much needed funds for a very worthy cause, attended by the Mayor of Shrewsbury, as well as some prominent Councillors.

Flazourz is open 7 days a week from 5:30pm till 11:00pm.

The Local Grapevine..

Shrewsbury to host the 10th UK Recovery Walk!

The UK Recovery Walk are looking forward to working with the local people to organise this truly inspiring event... hrewsbury has won the bid to host the 10th UK Recovery Walk in 2018.

(Originalshrewsbury) The announcement was made way back in July 2017 - at last year’s host winners party in Blackpool.

S

Shropshire’s UK Recovery Walk campaign was launched to encourage residents and organisations across the county and the West Midlands to vote for Shrewsbury to be the host town for the event.

Shrewsbury was just one of two places in the UK who were bidding to be the host town for the walk in 2018. The town received 75% of the public vote, beating stiff competition from the City of Bradford.

The UK Recovery Walk organised by national charity Faces and Voices of Recovery (FAVOR) UK, is an annual event that aims to celebrate recovery and freedom from drug and alcohol dependence. Held each September, as part of International Recovery Month, the walk draws thousands of people from all over the country to come together and provide hope and inspiration to those who are struggling to overcome their drug and alcohol misuse.

There was high praise of Shropshire’s campaign and support from the community and partners from the Chief Executive of FavorUK. Lee Chapman, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for health, adult social care and housing, said:

UK Recovery Walk 2018

“This is fantastic news! I would like thank everyone for their support and help to bring this important national event to Shropshire.

This is a great result for everyone involved.

“Hosting the UK Recovery Walk in Shrewsbury would provide an opportunity to highlight the achievements of the Shropshire recovery community, alongside the valuable, lifesaving work of our drug and alcohol treatment services. “We are very keen to ensure this event is memorable for both Shrewsbury and the history of the walk.”

Annemarie Ward, Chief Executive Officer of FavorUK, added;“Throughout September, thousands of people in the UK will be organising local events celebrating the fact that recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs is a lived reality in their lives.

“Faces & Voices of Recovery UK are delighted Shrewsbury has won the bid of hosting the largest of these events, The UK Recovery Walk. We look forward to working with the local people to organise this truly inspiring event.”

Shrewsbury’s Recovery Walk 2018 route will start and finish at The Quarry town park and highlight the town in the best possible way.

The total route is 1.7 miles and takes around 35 minutes to complete from start to finish.

If you or someone you know is affected by or worried about alcohol and or drug use, call Shropshire Recovery Partnership on 01743 294700 or visit: www.shropshirerecovery.com.

Plans to build hundreds of student rooms in the centre of Shrewsbury could become a reality by 2018, according to council bosses.

The proposal to build the halls, from Morris Guildhall Student Partnership, was approved

Shropshire Moms and Babies at Risk - Shropshire Defend Our NHS

‘They’re Playing Games with the Lives of Women and Babies’...

“

ow dare they?

They’re playing games with the lives of women and babies” - That was the response from health campaigner Gill George following a recent meeting where Shropshire CCG bosses announced the destruction of rural maternity care.

H

The plan from CCG decision makers is that the Midwife-Led Units in Bridgnorth, Oswestry and Ludlow will be closed to births forever. Instead, they will be turned into jolly ‘community hubs’ – which offer - for 12 hours a day - the support that used to be available 24/7 at every Midwife-Led Maternity Unit. Now, for those rural communities, there will be a choice between home births (not suitable for every mother), or travelling the long journey to Shrewsbury or Telford. Gill George

added, ‘It was quite bizarre. They kept insisting tonight, “This is what women want” and “This is what women asked for”. We heard this from Commissioning Lead Fiona Ellis and from an independent advisor called Fay Baillie as well.

What nonsense. They have been told by hundreds and hundreds of women in our rural communities to keep births and postnatal care in our local areas, and to keep our MidwifeLed Units open. Maybe they just forgot to write it down because it wasn’t what they wanted to hear.’

In an angry meeting, members of the public were told that women in rural communities will have a choice – between home birth and travelling to Shrewsbury or Telford. Asked about ‘rural proofing’ and making sure the needs of rural communities are met, Fiona Ellis looked bewildered and was unable to answer. Questions on the risks to some women and babies of home births weren’t answered.

Members of the public asked about the risks of travelling long distances in

labour – and we were told midwives will ask the right questions and make a judgement call. That’s all right then!

We were told that the ‘Northwick Park model’ says there are enough beds after the closure of the rural Maternity beds – even though the lived experience of women and midwives is that the pressure on beds is relentless and has contributed very directly to unacceptable levels of risk. Bridgnorth councillor and campaigner Dr Julia Buckley, present at the meeting, said, ‘They’re ignoring the evidence that a shortage of beds has led to adverse outcomes for babies – and they’re just carrying on and cutting beds. That has to be unacceptable.

There are some important economic arguments here too. This is another strand in the destruction of our rural market towns, as young families will be far less likely to move to these areas.’

Maternity campaigners added their own voices to the growing chorus of protest. Ally Hiles, leader of the Ludlow Maternity campaign, said ‘We now know of FOUR babies born in Ludlow without midwife support, two in the last few weeks. One of those four babies was mine. What makes them think it’s acceptable that my life and my child’s life were put at risk? What makes them think they can do this to other women?

We’re not going to let this decision stand.’ Bobbie Brown, Coordinator of the Bridgnorth campaign said, ‘This outcome goes against everything they’ve been pretending – about listening to women, not levelling down to the lowest common denominator, treating us with respect. They’re devious – and they’re completely contemptuous of Mums, babies and our safety. No way.’ And Liz Grayston, Coordinator of the Oswestry Maternity campaign, summed up the mood of rural communities well: ‘They have yet to get it through consultation - in front of the women they have apparently 'listened' to. Last time in Oswestry, 11 years ago, the crowd of us was so large and angry that we just couldn’t be ignored. It’s time for repeats, across our county. They have a fight on their hands’.

Clean Eating DISHES FOR New Year

Healthy Green Fritters A healthy breakfast option that will keep you feeling satisfied until lunch time. With eggs, green vegetables, such as broccoli and courgettes, it’s a quick and easy way to start the day right.

Method

Eggs Baked in Avocado Ingredients 2 Eggs 1 Avocado, Halved And Pitted 2 Teaspoons Chopped Fresh Chives Fresh Parsley Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper To Taste Optional Extra - Chopped, Crispy Bacon.

Method 1. Preheat oven to 220C 2. Crack the eggs into a cup or bowl, being careful to keep the yolks intact.

3. Arrange avocado halves in a baking dish, resting them along the edge to prevent them from tipping over. Gently spoon 1 egg yolk into the avocado hole. Continue spooning egg white into the hole until full. Do the same with the remaining avocado half. Season each filled avocado with chives, parsley, sea salt and pepper.

4. Pop the baking dish gently into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 mins, until eggs are cooked.

Garnish with chives and chopped bacon (if you are having it) and serve.

1. Squeeze the grated courgettes to remove any excess moisture, or tip onto a clean tea towel and twist it to squeeze out any excess moisture.

2. Beat the eggs together in a bowl, tip in the broccoli, courgette and some of the dill, and mix together well.

Sprinkle in the flour, mix again and season.

3. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Put a laddle full of the mixture in the pan at a time, you should be able to fit around 3 fritters at a time, depending on the size of your pan.

Cook for 3-4 mins on a medium heat until golden brown on one side, by then it should be solid enough for you to flip over, and cook again for 3-4 mins on the other side. Repeat to make 3 more fritters (you probably won’t need any more oil). Garnish with some dill and serve.

Paloma Faith.

Paloma Faith Tour Tour_Double Page Editorial 12/8/2017 1:01 PM Page 1

The Architect covers everything from Motherhood to Politics...

Paloma said: “‘The Architect’ is a social observation record. I was adamant that I wouldn’t write about love. I wanted to look outside of myself. I’m coming at politics from the perspective of the common man or woman, observing why people are suffering. Each song on the record is about a different pocket of the socio-political world that I’ve been delving into.”

She added: “I wanted to write something more modern. On previous albums I’ve been more concerned with the past, but now I’m looking forward because of motherhood and wanting to change things for a better future. It’s a marriage of old and new.”

Paloma Faith – one of only two British female artists this decade to have their last three albums go double platinum in the UK – released her long-awaited fourth album, ‘The Architect’, in November.

The new album – her first in more than three years and since giving birth to her first child – features an array of acclaimed cowriters, producers and collaborators including: Sia, John Legend, Jesse Shatkin, TMS, Starsmith, Tobias Jesso Jr., Eg White, Rag'n'Bone Man, actor Samuel L. Jackson and journalist and activist Owen Jones.

Paloma, who won the BRIT Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2015 following the phenomenal success of her last record, 2014’s ‘A Perfect Contradiction’, explores both personal and political themes on the album.

Whilst the music is classic Paloma – with sweeping orchestral tracks, smooth soul, sleek disco grooves and stomping electro pop all featured on the album – the lyrics raise social and political questions, and cover powerful and topical themes, such as motherhood, social anxiety, wealth inequality, technology’s impact on feelings

Feature | Live Tours

of alienation…. oh and also the future of the Western world, Donald Trump, Brexit and the refugee crisis – all within the confines of classic pop.

Title track ‘The Architect’ features - if you can imagine it – Paloma as Mother Nature, singing to humanity, while ‘Guilty’ reflects on the Brexit vote from the perspective of a Leave voter who regrets their choice. Lead single ‘Crybaby’ ponders whether war would cease to exist if men successfully dealt with their emotions, and ‘Lost and Lonely’ is sung from the viewpoint of a skeleton!

The album also includes the track ‘Warrior’ written by Sia, which Paloma interprets to be about the refugee crisis, a duet with John Legend, ‘I’ll Be Gentle’, and two spoken word interludes – album opener ‘Evolution’ which is performed by acclaimed actor Samuel L. Jackson and ‘Politics of Hope’ which is a political commentary by Owen Jones. String arrangements on ‘The Architect’, ‘Warrior’ and ‘I’ll Be Gentle’ were written by David Arnold, the celebrated film and TV composer best known for his work on James Bond and Sherlock.

Paloma released the video for the first single, ‘Crybaby’ - the dystopian video, directed by Thomas James and was shot in Ukraine, with opening footage of IVF, a newborn baby and a young girl, before a man addresses a group of uniformed young people, including the girl, in a human factory. He gives a speech about qualities such as emotion, empathy and feeling, which he says are “for the weak, for those we leave behind, for those that we remove from the crop.” The rest of video features Paloma as one of the people in the institution as she encounters the brutal training of the people imprisoned.

‘The Architect’ follows the huge success of Paloma’s last album, ‘A Perfect Contradiction’, which spent 29 weeks in the Top 10 Albums Chart, 66 weeks in the Top 40, and 100 weeks in the Top 200. The epic lead single from the record, ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This’, is Paloma’s biggest-selling to date, with over half a million copies sold and 55 million streams on Spotify.

Paloma will embark on a UK arena tour this year, entertaining huge crowds across the UK and Ireland playing shows at venues including the Genting Arena in Birmingham.

Love is in the air…

Let’s face it, we can all relate to Bridget Jones and her ‘big knickers’ but sexy lingerie is a must for Valentine’s Day, and luckily for us all there are some amazing sets available on the high street. A guaranteed way to turn up the heat in the bedroom is treating yourself, or your partner to some stunning lingerie.

With lots of options available to suit everyone from the most body confident of us, to the more shy and retiring - it shouldn’t be too much of a struggle to find something both daring and flattering from stores such as Marks & Spencer, Boux Avenue or even Ann Summers, who have not only a great range of sexy sultry undies but also offer higher coverage underwear for the less body confident amongst us.

Corsets and chemises are great if you worry about your dreaded stomach area, or if you want to emphasize your bust area, a keyhole neckline is a great option. New Look have some really pretty sets too with delicate lace and balcony bras, with seductive cut outs and sexy strappy detailing that are very reasonably priced so you won’t have to break the bank.

Book Worms...

Snuggle up with a good book...

A successful travel journalist, Bridget has ambitions to turn her quirky relationship blog about the missing pieces of her heart into a book. But after a spate of rejections from publishers, she accepts an alternative proposition...

Nicole Dupré died leaving behind a bestselling novel and an incomplete sequel. Tasked with finishing the book, Bridget is thankful to have her foot in the publishing door, even if it means relocating to Cornwall for the summer and answering to Nicole's grieving husband, Charlie. But as she gets to know the family Nicole left behind, and the woman behind the words, Bridget’s priorities begin to change...

I’m a little late to the party when it comes to reading books by the ever-fabulous Paige Toon. I read ‘The One We Fell in Love with’ on my summer holiday to Majorca last year and while I thought it was okay, I wasn’t overly impressed so didn’t bother to read anymore.

However, in the last couple of weeks, I’ve read more and more of her books, so when I saw her latest read ‘The Last Piece of my Heart’ was on offer in my local store, I couldn’t resist.

Bridget is so much fun! The protagonist of the book, she is happily settled with her boyfriend Elliot who lives in Australia and writes a relationship blog which she desperately wants to turn into a novel. So, she sets about travelling around the world to ask her ex-boyfriends for a piece of her heart back.

Georgina Jefimik The Last Piece of my Heart - by Paige Toon

Book Review...

Author: Paige Toon Series: Standalone Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Release Date: May 18th 2017 Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK

Her publisher has another offer though: to travel to Cornwall and become a ghost-writer to finish the sequel to Nicole Duprés bestselling book after she sadly died. Queue a trip to Cornwall where Bridget meets Charlie, a grieving husband and his daughter April.

I really enjoyed reading about Cornwall, it’s a place I’ve never been but always wanted to go and after reading this book, it has moved to the top of my places to visit.

I also loved seeing how Bridget’s relationship developed with Charlie and April. It wasn’t rushed, and although there was a spark from the beginning, it developed slowly which suited the pace of the book in general. To be honest though, I couldn’t wait for Charlie and Bridget to finally get together. After every page, I was willing Charlie to just finally kiss her!

This book is a journey of self-discovery for Bridget. Her whole life centres around her past and trying to piece together her heart so she can finish her blog and get it published. The moment she realises that her blog isn’t the most important thing and what is, is right in front of her, I was overcome with the same emotions she was feeling. She is strong, and brave and I was rooting for her through the whole of the book as she risked everything for what truly matters.

I couldn’t put this book down and read it within 24 hours and I know others will find it hard not to do the same.

This book is perfect for anyone who loves a happy ending. From the very first moment I met Bridget, I knew she would always have a piece of my heart. I couldn’t not give this book 5/5 stars and I am so excited to see what Paige has in store for us next.

ring the New Year into your home with a stylish hallway. Your hallway is far more than just a corridor leading to other parts of your home, it is an integral part of it and making the most of this space can create an entrance with the wow factor.

B

By adding clever storage solutions, using the right colours a lighting options, you can create a stylish hallway worthy of you will love to come home to.

Even tiny hallways can become beautiful, welcoming spaces. Instead of being the family dumping ground for everything from coats and shoes to school bags and post, it can become a space you will be happy to welcome guests into your home.

Neutral colours work best on small hallways, both walls and floors in neutral hues enhance the feeling of light spaciousness, then using decorative accessories you can add a splash of colour.

A mirror in the hallway is a must, not only does it add space and help reflect lights around, it is a great way to check out how you look before you step out of the door.

Ceramic floor tiles or wooden flooring are the best options for practical reasons, after all, the hallway has the highest footfall throughout the whole house.

WALLPAPER RETURNS...

Wall coverings are back

Add a feature wall with pretty wallpaper like with these from Wilkinsons £15 a roll.

Wallpaper is making a real comeback; using subtle patterns you can add an interesting touch without it being overpowering. Painted walls are great as it’s easy to touch up the paint when the walls gets scuffed and marked.

Getting rid of clutter has to be the number one priority, so creating clever storage is essential. Add a bench seat with drawers or baskets built in; great for storing shoes. If there is room you could add a built in cupboard for coats to be hung, or alternatively add pegs for both coats and hats.

A well-planned, well-decorated hallway – Welcome home!

FLOORING OPTIONS...

Ceramic tiles and hardwood You need something hardwearing in this busy area of the home.

You can find this relaxed and calm oasis on Old Chapel Court, between English Walls and Church Street - one of the most attractive parts of the town. You can browse the very colourful clothes and gifts from around the world.

Lots of small and affordable stocking-fillers from 95 pence, plus a wide selection of scarves and pashminas which are ideal gifts for posting.

Are you due a smear test?

It only takes 5 minutes to have a cervical smear test and it could potentially save your life. Many women avoid smear tests due to lack of time, fear of discomfort or even embarrassment. It is important to make it a priority and your GP will do everything to make you comfortable. Results are back in 2 weeks and in all likelihood you will get the all clear - It really puts your mind at ease to get it done out of the way, so don’t put it off any longer - book yours today!

onderful Coconuts...

Why are we going nuts for Coconuts?

I often treat myself to a snack of coconut; it’s tasty and natural but what are the benefits of eating coconut? Firstly it is high in lauric acid which is better for our bodies than oils that are high in trans-fatty acids.

Studies have suggested that some indigenous communities that rely on coconut oil for a large portion of their calorie intake show them to be amongst the healthiest in the world. They suffer fewer illnesses, and have no signs of heart disease.

With a huge amount of coconut products appearing on the shelves of supermarkets and shops, from oil, water and of course coconut itself – it’s literally everywhere. So why are we suddenly going nuts for coconut and what benefits does it have?

Drinking Coconut helps to improve digestion, boost energy and combat sweet cravings –

making it one of nature’s finest fluids. Add it to a smoothie or even straight from the fruit itself.

Using coconut as a dental wash – a process known as ‘oil pulling’ is believed to draw toxins from the salivary glands, teeth and gums. It involves swilling a tablespoon of oil around your mouth for about 15 minutes, just remember to dispose of the oil carefully once finished as it will harden and block the sink. With celebrity fans which include the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow no less, it has to be worth a try, it is even said to help with everything from hangovers to eczema – so get swilling!

Beautiful Coconut is the latest edition to the must have list of beauty products, for very good reason. With antibacterial and antifungal properties, it is packed with vitamin E and proteins; it has a brilliant ability to lock in moisture, making it the new best friend of anyone with dry hair or skin.

It also makes a really effective make-up remover or even a really great lip balm – it really is a versatile product.

So go nuts for Coconut…

The best way of getting a good nights sleep is to avoid your phone or tablet in the bedroom. Don’t get tempted to check emails or update social media before bed - your profile picture will last another night! If you use it as an alarm just buy an alarm clock so your phone is not in arms reach of your bed, plus the blue light they emit can affect your quality of sleep.

Eating Right?...

Do I need to change what I eat?

Eat natural foods and avoid processed foods where possible. Check if you are eating enough wholefoods, like fish, eggs, lean meat, veggies, fruit, nuts and wholegrains.

Listen to your body by eating slowly and stopping when you feel full not when your plate is empty. These two simplw steps can help aid long-term weight regulation and have many added health benefits.

Know your Breasts...

Have my breasts changed?

Breast cancer signs and symptoms vary, so it is important to check your breasts regularly for any changes - and that applies to the guys too! Study how they look and feel and you will soon be able to notice if any changes occur. Any change in your breast is worth getting checked out by your GP, this applies to the armpit and right up to your collar bone.

Mentor Scheme Edit_Double Page Editorial 12/11/2017 3:39 PM Page 1

The Local Grapevine..

MENTORING AND MONEY SCHEME... launched to nurture Shropshire talent! delighted to find such an enthusiastic new level of business support for what the charity is doing and commented:

“Our rationale is all about maximising young people’s business and personal potential with a view to leading to financial independence. The ASYSTORS prove that Shropshire is blessed with some outstanding private organisations who have pledged their time and expertise to this new enterprise as well as some valuable resource which will provide that all important financial boost to many a business dream.

Y

oung Shropshire entrepreneur Gemma Allies, was given a welcome boost as she and her young company Skin Sincere were announced today as the first beneficiaries of a brand new ASYSTORS Mentoring and Money scheme.

Five local companies are the founders of the ASYSTORS project: Brewin Dolphin, Morris & Company, Marches Care Homes, Dyke Yaxley and Wynn Developments and were inspired to come together in support of the Shropshire Youth Support Trust (SYST) charity, who provide help for young people aged 18-30 to start a business.

Mike Paul, Chair of the Shropshire Youth Support Trust ASYSTORS panel, explained how the businesses decided to create this new tier of support and funding to build on the impressive work being undertaken by the Shropshire Youth Support Trust in the county:

“These founding partners place real importance in social responsibility and

“The ASYSTOR support takes us to new heights and it is more than exciting for us to see Gemma rise to the challenge and enthuse the ASYSTORS to invest further in her through her passion and abilities. Now she will be able to take those all important next steps towards her future business growth.”

undertake a range of activities within their own businesses where staff are involved in pro bono projects to benefit their local communities. So, the chance to come together, share skills and experience to support enterprising young people to get ahead, particularly those who may be disadvantaged, struck a chord immediately.”

The ASYSTORS group offers the broadest range of skills and experience from IT and legal to marketing, HR and financial and works through bringing different colleagues and skills from each organisation to match the differing business challenges which SYST puts forward for consideration by the ASYSTOR panel.

Gemma Allies, already a SYST Assysted Shropshire entrepreneur, originally launched her business in 2015 selling her range of sensitive skin cream products into beauty salons, and with help from the SYST charity had reached a point where she felt she and business partner Rosemary Nutting needed a strategic sounding board to guide their expansion plans and funding to take them to this next level. Through mentorship and the financial award from the ASYSTORS, she is planning to mount a targeted PR promotional support campaign to propel her skin cream business into the retail market and increase her stake within the salon sector.

The Motoring Review..

THE SEAT IBIZA...

By Sue Cooke

FACTS AT A GLANCE

Model: SEAT Ibiza 5 door FR Price: £16,630otr

Engine: 1 litre TSi 115 PS 6 speed manual Performance: 0-62mph in 9.3 seconds and on to a top speed of 121 mph CO2 emissions: 108g/km Combined fuel consumption: 60.1mpg listen to the radio using her technology but tell her to shut up when the annoying adverts intervene!

The Ibiza received five stars; the highest number possible; in the EuroNCAP crash tests, performing particularly well in passenger protection and in the efficiency of its driver assist systems, especially the emergency brake’s Front Assist system.

hate driving in these darker nights which will be with us until March and IAM RoadSmart says shorter daylight hours, mainly between 3pm and 7pm bring more incidents involving pedestrians and asks us as drivers to be more aware.

I

In a perfect world the dimly lit roads, particularly country lanes, would be lit up like daylight, pedestrians would wear hi-vis jackets and they would never have to cross a road. I can’t claim to have found perfection but driving the new SEAT Ibiza this week, I came pretty close to it. The fifth-generation supermini has the brightest headlamps I’ve ever experienced, which splayed a beam wide enough to light up both sides of the road and was very near to driving in daylight.

SEAT says the new Ibiza stands out for including the most advanced technology in terms of safety, driver assist systems and connectivity. Headlamps use LEDs, new to this class of car, which offer much higher quality lighting while at the same time,

saving energy, resulting in improved fuel economy. Marvellous and I actually began to enjoy any evening trips instead of trying to avoid them.

Launched in 1984 for the first time, the Ibiza has been around the longest in the history of the Spanish manufacturer and is its topselling model. It’s easy to understand why.

I had a week of busy but very easy driving.

The new SEAT Ibiza is only available as a five-door option and the exterior styling is a lot more grown up, fresh and young but mature and balanced. It is built on a new platform so has a longer wheelbase which means more space inside. Leg room has increased and my passenger and I had a decent amount of courtesy room between our shoulders. The boot is bigger too with a total capacity of 355 litres, making it best in class.

As the demand for voice-controlled assistants is increasing among drivers, SEAT will introduce ‘Alexa’ to the new Ibiza, from this year (2018). Already available in the SEAT Ateca and Leon, the technology will be introduced to the new Arona which will be launched this year. My favourite thing about the Alexa system I use at home is that I can

There is a selection of frugal engines to choose from, both petrol and diesel but my favourite is the 1 litre 3-cylinder TSi with 115PS, which along with a turbo compressor, intercooler and direct injection, provides a wealth of power, just when you need it.

Overtaking, getting onto a roundabout, no problem.

The new SEAT Ibiza has a lot going for it.

The supermini has grown up, has lots of interior space with genuine room for four, offers frugal but powerful engines, is keenly priced and has fantastic technology, particularly when driving in the dark!
