Email: info@link-mag.co.uk As I sit here writing this, it’s the warmest it’s been since last September. That means we have had Web: www.link-mag.co.uk an eight-month-long winter!

Thank goodness it looks like summer is finally here. Fingers crossed we have a scorching hot summer that fills the beaches, empties ice cream freezers and proves to be a boost for everybody on the Fylde Coast.

We have just had our biggest month in business for the second month running, which only means one thing: We are helping more local businesses than before. Thank you for your support; we will work harder to make this magazine even better.

Congratulations to the winners of last month’s competition. Mr M Hincks of Blackpool won our Where Am I? Competition, so well done - £50 is on its way to you! Also, Mr Shaw from Fleetwood won the James Jackson WIN Your MOT draw. A pat on the back to you both!

Don’t forget, LINK-MAG also offers competitive leaflet print and distribution for up to 123,000 homes and businesses across the Fylde Coast and Preston, as well as offering FREE ‘What’s On’ listings for most local events.

We will soon be able to show off our new website too – it’s due to launch next month and looks amazing!

Enjoy the read and see you next month!

Robert Pallant Design’s newly extended showroom has a wonderful ambiance when you walk in to browse the fully functioning displays, demonstrating their quality German-designed kitchens.

Director Robert Pallant said: “Customers can get a feeling for what their new kitchens can bring to their home and how they can work with their lifestyles.”

Alongside all the units and appliances, dining furniture options and lighting styles is showcased, as well as all the variances of taps and tiles.

Robert added: “Buying a new kitchen should be an enjoyable experience. We invite potential customers into a showroom to get a feel for their likes and dislikes.

“We carry out a survey at the home, discuss ideas and get a feel for the space and take the measurements. We create 3D full colour visuals and discuss specifications.

“We offer a personal service and listen to the customer. I deal directly with them throughout the process before handing over to my fitting team – who have worked with me since starting out 30 years ago.”

All the kitchens supplied by Robert Pallant Designs are made to order from Schuller, and offer superior quality, form and function.

Robert added: “Schuller is one of the top three German kitchen manufacturers but they are still a family run business. All orders can be tailored down to the very last detail.”

“We also give demonstrations on different styles and functions.

The showroom houses the latest trends in kitchens: Smooth, sleek lines and minimal finishes, handle-less drawers and cupboards and storage.

“We build a picture of their lifestyle and needs; size of the family, dining and cooking habits, pets – no detail is too minor. The kitchen is an integral living space.

Also vital to the design is making the most of the innovative appliances available, from Quooker boiling taps and active clean cookers by Siemens.

GREEN DEAL IS NOW HERE!!!

The Nations annual household bills have risen by £500 on average in the last five years, and prices are set to continue to rise. How can we deal with these continuing rising costs?

The Government are committed to helping and encouraging us to shop around for better deals on energy tariffs, but switching suppliers will not guarantee substantial savings. We already make inroads to saving energy by using energy saving light bulbs and turning off appliances when not in use, which are all helpful, but in order to make larger savings we must consider making our properties more efficient.

The UK has around 5 million homes without adequate Cavity Wall and Loft Insulation.

Despite the energy saving incentives offered in recent years, over a third of UK homes are still without suitable insulation.

This is where the Green Deal comes in. Loft and Cavity Wall Insulation is the way forward.

You could qualify for 100% grant if you satisfy the criteria. If you own your own home, or privately rented accommodation, in receipt of either: - Child Tax Credit (Household Income of £15,860) - Income related Employment & Support Allowance - Income based Job Seekers Allowance - Income Support - State Pension Credit - Working Tax Credit

After Installation, you will see a reduction in your energy bills, reduction of heat loss and an improved energy rating. An Energy Performance Assessment is completed for every property, which is mandatory if you were to rent or sell your property.

Our team of trusted and highly skilled technicians are fully experienced to the highest accreditation and deliver an exceptional service. Every Cavity Wall Installation completed, is guaranteed for 25 years by CIGA (Cavity Wall Installation Guarantee Agency).

FIRST DRIVE: TOYOTA PRIUS+

By Matt Kimberley

By Toyota’s own admission the Prius name is a bigger brand in terms of green credentials even than the company itself, so expanding the Prius range is the sensible thing to do.

Of course, the roof line has been raised while trying to maintain a recognisably Prius shape, and there’s no doubting the practicality on offer. The middle row of three individual seats (specifically for Europe) move forward and back independently, firstly so that each of the three occupants can get more shoulder room, but also so the available space can be balanced between the two rows of rear seats.

Toyota spotted a gap in the market for a sevenseat, sub-100g/km car, particularly for fleet buyers like car hire companies, and the Prius+ was their attempt to fill it. The lower of the two available trim levels, T4, sits at 96g/km and is expected to take around 70% of sales ahead of the 101g/km T Spirit

The upshot is that, believe it or not, you can get seven six-footers in the Prius+, even if the rearmost passengers won’t want to be there for too long. Nevertheless the practicality and intelligent management of space is thoroughly impressive, and families will find a lot to like.

Even though it works in exactly the same way, the new model doesn’t quite use the same Hybrid Synergy Drive system as the common-or-garden five-seat Prius, because in the latter the under-boot nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack raises the load bay and means a third row of seats is not an option.

The five rear seats, which fold flat and create a level load floor, have a brilliant one-hand-one-movement operation, so parents with one arm full of wailing child can still set the seats up just how they need them. The boot lid is a little too heavy to be ideal, but it’s something you work around.

For the Prius+, the new and impressively compact lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery has been cleverly sited in the centre console in the cabin, beneath the arm rest. The boot floor has been lowered and a third row of seats added.

30

With all the seats up there’s 232 litres of space, which isn’t a great deal but can hold a reasonable amount of soft baggage. With the third row folded flat there’s a much more impressive 784 litres, which is more than enough for the vast majority of families.

Under the removable boot floor there’s a useful extra space for oddments.

If the Prius+ majors on practicality, it does pretty well at in-town driving too. One of the three selectable driving modes uses electric power only as much as possible, keeping urban emissions - and fuel costs - to a minimum.

The battery is small compared to that of a plug-in hybrid so its range in EV mode is only a few miles at best, but it’s surprising how well the Hybrid Synergy Drive makes that power last once you’re rolling.

Things aren’t so positive out of town. The excellent ride quality from soft, comfortable suspension means that handling falls way down its list of abilities. Equally, the constantly variable transmission (CVT) gearbox that’s gives smooth and quiet running at low speeds can allow the car to feel a little strained when accelerating up to A-road pace. But despite that, the ride is still very good and fuel economy at a motorway cruise is very impressive for what amounts to a 1.8-litre petrol car.

As always for a Prius, the seven-seater is crammed with kit. Barely scratching the surface the T4 model features a rear-view camera - although it’s not entirely reliable as a judge of positioning because it’s offset to one side of the number plate and gives a slightly false perspective - a panoramic roof, automatic windscreen wipers and a touchscreen infotainment system.

The mid-grey interior trim is designed for an older audience. It’s totally unpretentious and will wear without looking worn. It’s practical and unassuming; perfectly suited to the Prius+ target demographic, but some will call it too bland - or worse.

Facts at a glance: Model: Toyota Prius+ T4, £26,495 on the road.

Engine: Enclosed hybrid system including 1.8-litre petrol engine and electric motor; total output 134bhp.

Transmission: Constantly Variable Transmission (CVT).

Performance: Top speed 103mph, 0-62mph in 11.3 seconds.

Fuel economy: 68.9mpg.

CO2 rating: 96g/km.

The truth is that this isn’t a car designed for a mass audience. It’s built to satisfy a specific set of needs, and how much your own requirements overlap what Toyota’s engineers were working to will reflect how good the Prius+ will be for you. People who need a seven seat MPV with low running costs, oodles of practical touches and unimpeachable reliability will find living with this car an absolute joy.

THE PRINCE OF POTATOES

By Diana Pilkington There’s nothing like eating seasonal produce to make you feel you’re in tune with Mother Nature, and the Jersey Royal is a good place to start.

These tasty little potatoes, in season from April to the end of June, are celebrated for their unique nutty flavour.

While purists believe they should be boiled and served with butter and mint, there are plenty of other ways to incorporate them into your cooking.

Here are some royally good recipes to get you started... ........................................................ ........................................................

Jersey Royals bubble and squeak

Jersey Royals with hot smoked salmon and watercress salad in a horseradish dressing (Serves two) 500g Jersey Royal new potatoes 100g creme fraiche 1tsp creamed horseradish Juice of 1 lemon 2 spring onions, finely sliced 2 hot smoked salmon fillets, skinned and flaked 1 bunch watercress, rinsed Bring a pan of water to the boil.

Add the potatoes and reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until tender.

34

Mix together the creme fraiche and creamed horseradish. Add enough lemon juice and black pepper to taste.

Drain the potatoes and leave to cool slightly. Add the spring onions and salmon. Stir in the creme fraiche mix until all the ingredients have a light coating.

Toss in the watercress and serve, ether slightly warm or cold.

Tip: If you can’t find hot smoked salmon use smoked mackerel, smoked salmon or even roast beef

(Serves four) 500g Jersey Royals, scrubbed and halved 125g shredded Savoy cabbage 2 carrots, peeled and cubed 1tbsp frying oil 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped 3tbsp chives or parsley, chopped Salt and pepper to taste Lightly seasoned plain flour for coating 200g shredded ham hock 4 farm fresh eggs 2tsp white wine vinegar Bring a pan of water to the boil.

Thornton Primary School

Thornton Primary School performs “Joseph” In March the children in Years 3-6 at Thornton Primary School put on two fantastic performances of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”.

This is a challenging musical for any school but for a small Primary School it was a very ambitious project. All the children spent many hours learning the songs and remembered every word. They really enjoyed the musical and have learnt a lot about teamwork and what goes into staging such a show.

Paul Galley

‘Diary of a local Councillor’ Paul Galley is a Councillor for Anchorsholme in Blackpool and each month he writes a weekly diary of what he has been up to.

Sunday: This weekend my girlfriend, myself and our volunteers delivered letters to several thousand houses in Anchorsholme about the planned consultations that are being held regarding the rebuilding of Anchorsholme Promenade. It was freezing cold and snowing on and off. However, there is a great sense of achievement, even in bad weather, that as many houses as possible will get the letters.

Monday: This morning I had a meeting about establishing free first aid courses for the people of Anchorsholme, the plan is quite a complex one as we want to combine it with the installation of a public defibrillator outside Anchorsholme Library.

It’s very early days in this project but all being well I should have some exciting news in the next diary confirming more details about this project which we hope will give local people the skills and means to save a life.

Tuesday: Today (and over the last few days) I have received several complaints from local residents about the amount of time it’s taken for the council to complete the work on relaying the pavements on Luton Road, Brentwood Avenue and Rookwood Avenue. It’s been a very frustrating time for residents and I’ve been working really hard to limit the disruption to residents. Another ongoing issue and one I still struggle to understand is exactly how we have managed to get jigsaw like pavements with some fully paved, some with only the driveways paved and others a horrible half paving slab/half tarmac deign. The whole project has been a failure in terms of management of expectation where what the residents believe they will get and what they have got are two separate things. If you have any problems relating to this or any issue then please contact me on 01253 826679 or email me on cllr.paul.galley@blackpool.gov.uk 48

Wednesday: In the morning I called the bingo at our bingo club at St Teresa’s Church Hall. It’s a lovely, happy club and it’s always great fun to be a part of it. In the afternoon I received the news that our new public garden on Sevenoaks Drive is going to be built sometime in April. I’m so excited about this project and it will be great to be able to brighten up the grassy area on Sevenoaks Drive and turn it into a really eye catching area.

I’m also pleased to confirm that we are getting Marigolds for the six flower beds at the entrance to Anchorsholme Park. I’ve planted a lot of Marigolds in Anchorsholme so it’s a flower I know will do well in the tough windy conditions that you often get in Anchorsholme Park.

Thursday: Today was one of the most exciting days of my political life so far, as we held the first of the three public consultations about the improvements for Anchorsholme Prom. It was a chance for the public to see the proposed designs for the prom and I was really glad that so many people decided to attend the meeting.

It gave residents the chance to talk about the designs with the architect and those behind the bid and put their own questions to them. I was very proud that here in Anchorsholme we have a community that cares about what is going on in their area. I hope the other two consultations are as well attended, though I suspect they will be!

Friday: After what proved to be a manic week, today as it’s a bank holiday, I had the day off and was so pleased to see lots of children and families enjoying our new Zip Wire in Anchorsholme Park. Our next project for Anchorsholme Park that I’m now working on getting the money for is the replacement of the trim trail that surrounds the Zip Wire.

Anchorsholme is so lucky to have two parks and it’s my mission to make sure over the years they keep improving and have lots of things that families want to enjoy. What with the new prom we are getting, the parks, the gardens, I can’t stop smiling I’m just so excited about life.

Many thanks

Paul Galley Councillor for Anchorsholme
