BLACKPOOL SOUTH MAGAZINE

JULY 2011 Editors Letter

Welcome to our JULY edition of LINK, its been a great last month with lots of exciting events going on around Blackpool with Armed Forces week and Blackpool Pride events, lots of people out and about enjoying all there is to offer locally. Lots of work still going on with the seafront, but its all taking shape now and not long before we see our new super trams, and all the work will be forgotten.

Don’t forget coming up this month on the other end of the coast 17th July is the return of the biggest FREE event of its kind, the Fleetwood Festival of Transport “Tram Sunday 2011” and I believe a tram will be present on the day, so lets support it! LINK had the pleasure of creating the programme for the event so look out soon for copies.

Due to the success of our magazines we have now taken the decision to launch our 6th magazine into FY8 Lytham St.Annes coming in August so if you want to get in it call LINK. You may also have noticed a slight change to our covers as we’ve given it a fresh look, we hope you like it as we work hard to develop our Blackpool magazines.

Congratulations LINK-Spotter John Heyes of Fleetwood who won our ‘Where am I?’ Competition. £50 is on its way to you.

GET IT COVERED, GET IN LINK! Many Thanks

SUN IN YOUR EYES… … CHILDREN NEED PROTECTION A Blackpool optician is warning parents about dangers of UV rays on young and undeveloped eyes. Lisa Barrett from Red Bank Opticians Kodak Lens Vision Centre in Bispham is encouraging parents to think of their children this summer when buying sunglasses for themselves.

For more information about the different types of sun lenses, the importance of proper eye-care protection or expert advice visit Red Bank Opticians KODAK Lens Vision Centre at 113 Redbank Road, Bispham or call 01253 350048 www.kodaklens.co.uk

“Everyone knows to protect their children’s skin from the sun, but it is really worrying that so few people are giving their children’s eyes the same protection. Given that children’s eyes are more sensitive and fragile, it is not surprising that they need even more protection against the harmful UV rays than adults.” (Lisa Barrett, Red Bank Opticians Kodak Lens Vision Centre)

Sun damage from UV rays contributes to a wide range of eye disorders from cataracts to cancer.

Recent research has shown that by the age of 16 more than half a lifetime’s worth of damaging UV light has been absorbed by a child’s eye.

Red Bank Opticians has an excellent range of sunglasses designed especially for children. KODAK lenses for Kidz are designed to suit children’s growing eyes and faces and are perfectly suited to children’s active lives as they are scratch and impact resistant, ideal for the rough and tumble.

Red Bank Opticians KODAK Lens Vision Centre offers the following tips for choosing children’s sunglasses:

• Only buy sunglasses with CE marking which means they conform to European safety standards • Only choose sunglasses that block out UVA and UVB rays as other versions could actually damage your children’s eyes rather than protect them • Think about buying a strap to hold them in place • Encourage your children to wear their glasses by wearing yours • Explain the damage the sun can do to their eyes

Blackpool Windows and Solar Energy (BWSE) Is a family run business that has been supplying and fitting quality doors, windows and conservatories across the Fylde Coast and Lancashire for many years.

The company has recently expanded into green energy conservation by including PV panels in its portfolio of products.

David Williams, the proprietor of BWSE said ‘PV panels are fitted onto the roof of domestic and commercial properties and convert the suns energy into electrical energy which is the current that we use in our houses By generating this energy you can help power your own home and also receive a guaranteed feed in tariff from the

28

Government for the next 25 years and the tariff is index linked so will keep pace with inflation. It’s a fantastic way to beat the inevitable electricity bill rises and to also receive an income from the Government.

We can take you through the initial design to the final installation and will ensure all your questions are answered so that you are fully aware of the system and requirements. We also complete all the paperwork to obtain the feed in tariff so that the whole process is easy and painfree’.

Companies have to adhere to a strict accreditation process which provides reassurance to the customer that the work and system is being fitted to the correct standards. PV panels have already taken off in other parts of the country and demand has increased with the recent

announcements of price rises by the energy companies. Some forecasters predict the increase could be as high as 19% so it makes sense to be get ready now and not have to worry this winter.

BWSE also continue to provide doors, windows and conservatories as well as PV panels so if you would like more information about any of these product please call us on 01253 824109/07753583602.

There are no flashy salesman and no hard sell methods, we want our customers to be 100% happy with the quality, workmanship and price from Blackpool Windows Solar and Energy and most of our work comes from returning customers and recommends.

Start making money today and install PV panels onto your roof, you’ll be glad you did.
