A

Lancashire couple are poised to spring into action and make Blackpool the home of the biggest trampoline centre in the country.

Allan and Sarah Bowness will be opening the doors to Ascent Trampoline Park on Monday 14th March.

Their web site is already live and takings advance bookings now!

The Trampoline Park ‘craze’ is currently sweeping through the UK and are the latest thing from America and at 40,000 sq ft Ascent Trampoline Park will be the biggest of its kind in the UK. The £800,000 project would feature more than 100 individual trampolines, a 3 lane dedicated Flip Zone, Dodgeball, Slam Dunk Basketball, giant Foam Pits and Air Bag, and even trampolines on the walls.

Within the main park they also have a Ninja Assault Course – with a Gladiator Battle Beam, Balance Beam, Slack Line, Multi Height Raised Steps and Ladders.

Allan said: “We are very excited about opening the doors to Ascent! Currently there are only a handful of

these Trampoline Parks in the UK and Blackpool’s will be the largest offering the widest range of activities “There will also be many lifestyle benefits as trampolining is considered one of the healthiest types of exercise, and its fun as well.”

Allan added “We will also be offering fitness classes for all ages and want to link up with gymnastics clubs and schools” Ascent will be catering for all ages from two years old upwards and it will be an all year round attraction.

As well as Open Jumping there will be Children’s Parties / Fitness Classes / Toddler Classes and the Ascent Academy offering Trampoline & Gymnastic classes.

When you’re all “Parked out!” there is also a Terraced Café overlooking the Trampoline area were you can enjoy hot and cold food with a hot drink.

If you still want more fun there is also a dedicated Games Zone to expend more energy!

They look forward to seeing you on the 14th March!

Funeral Planner of the year J T Byrne Funeral Directors named regional Funeral Planner of the Year and received a nomination within the top 3 in the country.

T

hornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood funeral director J T Byrne Funeral Directors has been named the best mid-sized funeral planner in the West Lancashire & Merseyside area and also named within the top 3 in the country at 2015’s Funeral Planner of the Year awards.

The win came during a competitive year. Run by market leading funeral plan provider Golden Charter, the awards are the biggest gathering of independent funeral directors in the UK, with this year’s event the largest ever held.

The funeral director’s John Byrne said: “We are delighted to have won this prestigious award for the fourth year running. This reflects upon the support we receive from the local community. We are proud to be at the forefront of helping families at their time of need and providing Golden Charter funeral plans.

J T Byrne are a family business supporting families.

Ronnie Wayte, Golden Charter’s Chief Executive, said: “In their 22nd year the awards are more competitive than ever before, with funeral plans continuing to grow in popularity. This award is well earned proof that J T Byrne Funeral Directors has reached a remarkable standard.”

The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards focus on the funeral planning achievements of independent funeral directors, who make up a growing majority of the funeral industry. With recent Mintel figures showing that the average price of funerals has increased 88% in the past ten years to £3,609, more people are choosing to use pre-paid funeral plans to freeze the cost of the funeral director’s services at today’s prices.

A funeral plan from your SAVE local independent upto funeral director makes £465 perfect sense With a Golden Charter funeral plan you’ll benefit from: • Protection against rising funeral costs • Reassurance for your family – no uncertainty or difficult decisions • Complete flexibility to choose the funeral you want • Guaranteed acceptance

UK rents set to sky-rocket because of Osborne’s tax grab Landlords across the UK have already started to increase rents for current tenants as a consequence of George Osborne’s attack on the private rental sector (contained in Clause 24 of the Finance Bill). When a similar policy was adopted in Ireland in 1998, rents increased by almost 50% over the subsequent three years.

by Rosalind Beck Property118 sought to discourage new investment in private rented accommodation and did this by removing the deductibility of mortgage interest for tax purposes.

Following the measure, rents rose by at least 24% in 1998. This represented the biggest annual increase in rents ever experienced in Ireland. The Housing Policy Review 1990-2002 reported that 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 saw particularly high growth in private residential sector rents, which increased by 10.5 per cent and 14.6 per cent respectively during these years.

The Ronan Lyons report showed that the average monthly rent in Ireland in the third quarter of 1998 was 600 euros. The average had been climbing at Top economist, Professor Philip Booth, on giving a steady rate for 20 years, but it then accelerated, evidence to the Treasury Select Committee about the Chancellor’s announcement said that Clause 24 ‘didn’t twice. It reached almost 900 euros in the third quarter of 2001, just before the deductibility of interest was make sense.’ restored, effective from January 2002; there had been an increase of almost 50% in three years.

The reason for this is that landlords will pay tax on interest payments they have paid to the mortgage What is more, these higher rents meant that many lender as well as tax based on actual profit; landlords will in effect be taxed on an amount of fictitious profit, who were renting while waiting to buy their first homes could no longer afford to save deposits, leading to the and the Government will tax the same money twice, as the lender already pays tax on it. ‘Private’ landlords’ conclusion that Government intervention designed to ease the pressure on first-time buyers quite ironically businesses will also face the unique situation in the ‘made it more, rather than less, difficult, for the firstbusiness world of not being able to offset the main time buyers it wanted to help. cost of creating a taxable profit.

Feelings are running so high among landlords that for It was stated in the same report: ‘Too much emphasis the first time ever they have begun a campaign to take was placed on alleviating the plight of the first-time buyer, yet to do so at the expense of the private rented legal action against the Government. sector on which the basis of sustaining economic It is clear that the Chancellor did not base the idea on development is built, is at best negligent, at worst the lessons of history, specifically the recent history of almost criminal. Even then, measures aimed at ameliorating the problem for first-time buyers have Ireland where, in the 1990s, as in the UK now, there proven to be inflationary, which in fact quite ironically was a perception that prospective landlords were crowding out first-time-buyers and driving up property worsened their plight.’ prices.

As a consequence, the deductibility of interest was quickly restored from 1st of January 2002, but not before the damage was done. In addition to tenants and private landlords suffering, the policy also had an extremely negative effect on construction levels, which fell drastically over the same period.

that this is also a discriminatory attack on the poorest in society? From now on, tenants who can pay the highest rents will be favoured as landlords will have to increase rents to the maximum (some commentators think landlords can’t do that; well they did in Ireland).

So when George Osborne announced this astonishing attack on landlords in July, we can only assume that neither he nor his advisers were aware that this same economic experiment had failed abysmally just across the water only a few years earlier.

Don’t these alleged champions of the poorest in society realise that the low-paid and tenants on housing benefit will suffer the most? Because of the limits on what they can afford, these will be the first to be evicted and placed in temporary accommodation at greater cost, both in financial and human terms.

A question remaining unanswered is therefore whether Clause 24 was a planned policy which the Conservatives kept secret from the electorate in order to trick landlords into voting for them OR was it dreamt up in a matter of weeks directly after the election.

Incredibly, the report by the Office for Budget Responsibility, which accompanied the Summer Budget took no account of tenants as an impacted group and also stated the policy was ‘not expected to have a significant impact on either house prices or rent levels…’

George Osborne was either deceitful or capricious.

What is very clear, however, is that it is extremely illthought-out, or as the Director of the Institute of Fiscal Studies, Paul Johnson, said: ‘plain wrong.’

This is a preposterous statement.

The fact is that this ‘Alice in Wonderland tax’ is going to force hundreds of thousands of landlords to pass the tax on to their tenants where possible by increasing rents, just as happened in Ireland. And when rents can’t be increased to a level which still makes the business viable, landlords will be forced to evict and sell.

In the meantime, the Government and Opposition continue to ignore the messages from landlords at Property118 and from other national landlord organisations, who have pointed out these inevitably disastrous consequences. Labour is providing no effective opposition, believing that if they attack landlords they support tenants. This has been illustrated in the approach of various Labour politicians, including the Labour MP, Siohain MacDonagh.

It would appear that the parties are vying with each other to see who can be the most anti-landlord.

A strange consensus seems to have arisen across all political parties and even in housing charities like Shelter, that potential first-time-buyers are the only group now to be valued or protected and again, they think that by attacking landlords they support first-time-buyers. Do they not realise that rent hikes (an inevitable effect of Clause 24) will make it more difficult for first-time-buyers to save for a deposit, just as happened in Ireland?

So my questions for the British Government are: Why would the effect of this policy be any different to the effect it had in Ireland?

How does the Government expect rents not to increase while at the same time it is imposing a massive tax burden on landlords?

It’s mad; it makes no sense and the logical consequence will be an exponential increase in rents.

The experiment was short-lived in Ireland; but not before significant damage was done to the private rental sector. We ask that the UK Government stop and think and reverse this decision before it is too late.

And a word of warning for George Osborne and Jeremy Corbyn for that matter: Don’t think you can simply introduce rent caps and force landlords into selling and/or bankruptcy if they start increasing rents to cover this outrageous tax change. Apart from the fact that, in the words of Assar Lindbeck, a Swedish economist and socialist: ‘….rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city—except for bombing,’ we will also take the Government to the European courts just as the Czech and Slovakian landlords did when their governments tried to introduce rent caps – and, like them, we will win.

As landlords, we are aware that very few people care about this discriminatory attack on us (the media and various groups have successfully demonised landlords for years now); however, can they not see

HARPER&PYE Carpets • Curtains Why choose Fitted?

Bedrooms come in all shapes and sizes - often with distinguishing features.

Chimney breasts, sloping ceilings and uneven walls add character, but they also cost you valuable storage space.

We will redefine the living space for you, working with the room’s feature to realise its true potential.

Wall to wall, floor to ceiling, our individually designed fitted bedroom furniture transforms even the most irregular bedroom.
