Huge rise in Adur Being a friend Ferry Bridge users of Pond Road Bicycle trips across the new Adur Ferry Bridge are up by more than 60% according to new figures from Sustrans.

The cycling charity has completed its first monitoring report on use of the swing bridge since it opened last September.

Results show estimated cycling trips are up by 64% to 137,968, pedestrian trips are up by 10% to an estimated 742,128 and overall use of the bridge is up by 15% with an estimated total 912,122 trips.

The monitoring also suggests a big increase in use of the bridge for leisure purposes at the weekend and in the school holidays as well as a large pick up in the number of people aged over 65 using it.

The figures come just a week after it was announced Adur Ferry Bridge, which crosses the harbour to connect ShorehamBy-Sea to Shoreham Beach, was awarded the Community Benefit Award in the ICE South East England Engineering Excellence Awards 2014.

Pieter Montyn, West Sussex County Council’s Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport said: “This bridge, like its elderly predecessor, is a vital link across the River Adur for the communities of Shoreham Beach and Shoreham town.

“It has become a much loved community asset and this award is something that both the contractors and the community should feel rightly proud of.

“These latest figures from Sustrans demonstrate really high levels of use which is great news. I’m confident those that use will grow and grow, especially as we approach summer.“ Unfortunately the bridge has been subjected to vandalism attacks and a new CCTV system has been installed. Panes of glass that had been damaged during the attacks will be replaced.

Pieter added: “It is always a shame when mindless acts of vandalism blight such a wonderful structure and ruin people’s enjoyment of something that is there for the whole community.

We hope that this new CCTV will act as a deterrent to whoever is responsible.”

Claire Cook from independent mortgage and financial advisers Talk Money, gives you essential advice

How to get the best from your pension fund I

F YOU HAVE built up a pension fund, or several during your working life there are many options for taking income when you retire, the whole thing can be quite bewildering. The right choice depends totally on your circumstances and what you are looking for from your retirement income. Some people want absolute guarantees, others require flexibility. Some are single and are not worried about providing an income to a spouse should they die, for others a widow’s pension is essential. If you have a company scheme, the income could be reduced because the scheme provides for a widow’s pension, but you may not be married. It can get quite complicated. Choosing the wrong option could greatly reduce what you receive in your retirement.

Many people have different pension pots with various providers. When you reach retirement age, they will all write to you offering an annuity, some people just sign the form and obtain the income from their current provider. How do you know that is the right way of setting up your retirement income and how do you know that the company will provide you with the highest annuity in the marketplace? This is especially true if you have history of ill health, you could be eligible for an enhanced annuity. This is because if your life expectancy is less, some providers would be willing to pay a higher income because they don’t think they will have to pay you for as long.

All providers will offer different amounts of income for your capital, it is essential to shop around.

I will briefly explain the main options: Annuity: An annuity is a guaranteed income paid to you for life from an insurance company. The annuity would be purchased using the money you have built up in your pension plans during your working life. The insurance company will assess how long they think you will live and will quote the amount of guaranteed income they are willing to pay in return for your lump sum.

Income Drawdown: Your pension money would remain invested and you can take either no income, or income up to a maximum set level from the investment each year. From April 2015 the income will be unlimited but subject to income tax.

This method can provide higher death benefits and a more flexible income.

For independent advice on any of the above, or if you are approaching retirement and looking at your options please call me Claire Cook on 01273 224667. I would be very happy to assist.

Have you planned for a time when you may need long term care?

Deanne Ferguson is a qualified private client lawyer from Setfords Solicitors who specialises in advice for the retired and the elderly and has some suggestions for you to consider to prepare for a time when you might need long term care.

a trust to ensure that your loved ones are provided for, but the money is not taken into account in any means test. It may not be appropriate to leave your estate to a loved one who is likely to need long term care.

• YOUR PROPERTY - Is your property in your sole name or jointly owned? Should it now be put into joint names? If it is already in joint names consider changing the way the property is owned to Tenants in Common. Careful planning may mean it is possible to protect half of the property from care costs.

• LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY - Have you made Lasting Powers of Attorney? A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that appoints a trusted friend, relative or professional (known as an attorney) to help manage your financial affairs and/or make decisions about your health and welfare. This will give you and your family peace of mind and avoid unnecessary cost, time and emotion for your loved ones later on.

• JOINT SAVINGS - Consider transferring jointly owned savings into sole accounts if appropriate. Did one of you contribute more to the savings account than the other? In those circumstances, it would be acceptable for you to put more into one account than the other.

Social Services have no power to demand to see the finances of a spouse or partner of someone going into care, however if there is an account in joint names they can see what the spouse/partner has and may be more inclined to ask for a third party top up.

• MAKING A GIFT - Are you much older than your spouse/partner? Or does one partner suffer ill health that may lead to a need for care? Should you gift some savings to your younger/fitter spouse now? However, be careful of deliberate deprivation of assets.

• WILLS - Do you have a Will? Do you need to review your existing Will? It may be appropriate to set up

• ADVANCE MEDICAL DECISION (living Will) - If you wish to refuse medical treatment in the future, including end of life decisions and life sustaining treatment, you should make your wishes known by making an ‘Advance Decision’. This is made when you still have capacity and is used if you lose capacity in that future.

This article provides you with basic information and should not be used as a substitute for getting proper advice from a specialist lawyer, what is appropriate for one individual may not be appropriate for another.

TRAVEL WRITERS

D

ON SHOREHAM

URING THE FIRST half of the 20th century, before the moving pictures of TV documentaries largely made the British literary travelogue obsolete, many writers travelled the South East of England and Sussex in particular, recording their impressions of Shoreham as they did so.

In 1939 in his book: ‘The Face Of Britain.

South Eastern Survey’ writer Richard Wyndham describes the sights and indeed smells of the lower Brighton Road: ‘The coast road west from Brighton is linked to Shoreham by seven miles of stucco-andbrick cottages – but by nothing else. There is, and always will be, a fundamental difference between these two towns. It is the difference between a sea that is bathed in and a sea that is sailed by ships. You notice the change as soon as you reach Portslade: instead of piers and promenades and fun fairs, you find cranes and high, smoking chimneys; timber yards, coal stacks, petroleum tanks, grimy brick warehouses, black tarred wharfs, the sound of riveting and the smell of gas.’

Elsewhere in the book he explains how the course of the river Adur has changed over the centuries: ‘Shoreham has become two villages since the retreat of the sea – New and Old Shoreham. When the Adur became silted up in the fifteenth century the port had to be abandoned and the town became half deserted. Previously, Old Shoreham had been left stranded in

10

the same way: in the twelfth century it was a main port between England and Normandy; it now hides in shame a mile to the north, an isolated hamlet of farm buildings, thatched cottages, and a church of richly carved Norman arches.’

In 1937 Arthur Mee wrote ‘The King’s England, Sussex’ and he too provides vivid descriptions of Shoreham: ‘There are two Sussex Shoreham’s old and new; one with the sea, both with an ancient pride.

No other small place in the land has two great churches like these, and it has two great bridges also, a 4-span steel bridge and a quaint timber structure 260 feet long on 28 wooden trestles.’

In her 1965 book ‘Sussex’, Barbara Willard recounts how: ‘Shoreham, which fell into a sad doldrums for many years, is now rejuvenated. Its revival though is a very thorough one.’ Her recollections of a modern, industrialised Shoreham now form part of history themselves as she mentions the old electricity generating power station, (built in 1947) with its two chimneys and the earlier, smaller one that was also once here as its neighbour, constructed in 1902, with its four chimneys. As she says of the harbour arm; ‘on it are built the power stations that are landmarks for such miles.

Electricity has dwarfed gas, the first comer.

You can see the plumed chimneys from the downs above Brighton, beautiful through mist, in sun, by moonlight’.

Not all writers were so impressed by

Shoreham. In 1947, Esther Meynell, in her volume also entitled ‘Sussex’ writes about the back streets of Shoreham: ‘ Here and there in a dreary street, perhaps at a corner, may be seen a little nautical cottage, its upper story hung with black-tarred timbers, its casements white-painted and displaying cheerful redpotted geraniums. It suggests smuggling nights in the time when it stood alone on the shore, and ‘The Gentlemen’ were trotting by with their lace and brandy ponies. It is the sturdy little freehold that has escaped the grasp of the speculative builder. Or it may be a seemly Georgian cottage that stands out amid the general ugliness, with well-proportioned smallpaned windows and a charming fanlight like a slice of lemon above the front door.

But even as one admires these gracious things, while the buses and lorries thunder past, one feels they are doomed to fall very soon beneath the juggernaut of “Progress”.

Long stretches of seaward Sussex are past praying for.’

Fortunately Shoreham’s back streets have by and large escaped the juggernauts and there are some final examples of old cottages still in existence, tugged away in the streets leading to the High Street. The way New Shoreham grew up over time also suggests that these cottages were always part of a settlement, and not isolated cottages on the shore, as the author suggests. The description of these Shoreham cottages does however make one wonder if sometimes we should slow the pace for a moment in our busy lives, and just admire the unique town around us.

A DECENT SUMMER

I

T’S BEEN A pretty decent Summer so far from the point of view of the gardener. Warm, and still with a bit of rain to keep things ticking over nicely and the results are starting to show in the garden with most plants making a good show.

This time of year is when the garden is in full flow, giving glorious Summer displays, and the fruit and vegetables starting to produce lovely produce. It’s so wonderful that you never want it to end, and although as the length of day is starting to shorted

12

slowly, you can still help things to keep going.

Flowers will always respond well to the effort of deadheading and stopping them going to seed. That way they will produce more flowers in an effort to get to the end result of producing more seed. That way you’ll get a longer display. It’s easy to assume that plants are happy growing in their pots, or containers or even their beds, however they soon use up the nutrients around them and can suffer as a result. It’s a good idea to boost this by using a liquid feed, or a top dressing of decent compost. After the really wet weather at the beginning of the year a lot of nutrients were simply washed down through the soil, so any extra boost will be welcome The same applies with fruit and vegetables. Keep picking them at the right time and they will keep trying to produce more. The same holds true more than ever with boosting them as they put a tremendous effort into producing the vegetables.

This is especially true with plants such as tomatoes, and especially when they are in grow bags. Make sure you regularly feed them as they will get through the nutrients in the bag very quickly. As a further tip, it’s never a bad idea to put a grow bag on top of another one when you first set them up, to get double the depth and goodness from the. It also helps to hold the water better. Keep sowing seeds such as salads, radishes etc as they will grow rapidly and keep producing fresh supplies for you to enjoy.

Once anything has got past its best, make sure to compost it as it will all give a good added boost to the compost heap.

Despite the fact the lawn will be producing plenty of cuttings at this time of year, don’t be tempted to smoother the compost heap in them, to get rid of them, as they will stifle what is in the bin already, and remember to turn the compost well regularly.

As most of us will be looking towards holidays at this time of year, make sure you plan looking after the garden, whilst you are away, getting a neighbour in to help keep on top of things, to avoid coming back to a jungle or a barren waste land At this time of year there really is no excuse not to be out in the garden on the long summer evenings, and if you even spend a few minutes each evening whilst out there doing a few jobs you really will keep the garden looking better for longer, so give it a go and enjoy it.

‘SLIMEY’… WARM, WET WEATHER

INCREASES RISK OF LUNGWORM IN YOUR DOG

Dogs that paw or eat slugs and snails can become infected with the larval stage of this parasite, which migrates through the body and eventually matures in to the adult worm in the heart.

Eggs released from these worms pass into lungs where they hatch into larvae and are then coughed up and swallowed by the dog. The dog then spreads the larvae in its faeces.

The South East is a hot spot for lungworm cases possibly due to our dense urban fox population who harbour this parasite.

Lungworm symptoms vary from mild lethargy and cough, to bleeding problems and heart failure.

W

Be lungworm savvy this year.

E ESCAPED A nasty winter, but having had a pretty wet start to the year, we are experiencing a snail and slug explosion! A gardeners number one pest, snails and slugs are not good for your dog either, as these little blighters are the hosts of Angiostrongylus vasorum, commonly known as lungworm.

1. Use lungworm control on your dog, you can get this from your vet.

2. Remove dense vegetation, fallen wood, water filled pots from the garden as these are perfect snail and slug hiding spots.

3. Banish slugs and snails with traditional pet friendly methods such as; seaweed compost/ mulch as the salt and then the dried rough surface of the seaweed will be a deterrent. Use copper as they shy away from this metal. Make traditional slug traps with either shallow bowls of beer (keep out of reach of your dogs and children) and upturned plant pots with grapefruit skin inside. Avoid using products that contain metaldehyde as this is toxic to dogs and cats.

DEFINING

A FOSTER CARER

There are many people who whilst have the motivation, strengths, aptitude and experience that would make them fantastic foster carers don’t apply as they are concerned that their lifestyle or personal circumstances would rule them out of being able to foster when if fact this is not the case.

E HOPE THAT by covering a handful of common Experience working with children or young characteristics and factors of successful foster people in a professional role or as parents

W

carers as well as a few common misconceptions that will prevent people fostering that those interested in becoming foster carers will get in contact with us.

Diversity

Fostered children and young people come from a variety of backgrounds and the same applies to Foster Carers. Whatever your employment status, sexuality, marital status, religion or race you could be the ideal person to provide a stable and loving home to a vulnerable child or young person.

Team Players

Each and every person involved in the Fostering process has a joint aim of providing a secure and safe home for a child or young person. When you become a foster carer you will need to work in partnership with the agency and other professionals.

Foster carers will need to demonstrate that they can listen to the child and the agency as well as voicing their views in a professional manner. The agency is here to support you as foster carers therefore it is also important that you communicate any concerns and challenges as soon as they occur.

Experience working with children or young people is an advantage (although not a necessity) as it could help you tackle any challenges that may arise with a child or young person placed in your care.

Your individual personality

The process to become a foster carer is in-depth this is to ensure that any vulnerable child or young person placed with you will be safe and cared for in a loving home. The assessment can make potential carers nervous and as a result hide aspects of their personality. Our Foster carers have all sorts of personalities and that is what makes them such great carers. Our advice to you is just be yourself!

Can those with a criminal record apply?

The assessment process will take into account any previous convictions and we would encourage those with a criminal record to be honest and speak about this with the agency early on in the process. The safety of the child or young person is of foremost importance. Having a criminal record does not automatically mean that you will be rejected as a potential carer.

Are you ready to invest in the future?

Caring for a child or young person can be challenging at times, but it’s also very rewarding and fun.

If you have a spare room and time to care for a child or young person we will support you.

SHOREHAM-BY-SEA

RIVER FEST RUN

If you are planning a great bank holiday weekend this August, why not have a run along the River Adur?

A

S PART OF the three day Shoreham River Festival (which includes many events for all ages), on Bank Holiday Monday the 25th August 2014 you can join our local running club, Lancing Eagles, for a flat 10k race up one of the most beautiful valleys in the South East.

The River Adur has cut a wide and deep valley through the South Downs, which tower over 700 feet above it on either side.

These days the river meanders slowly across a wide flood plain towards the sea, and you will follow the river North for three miles before crossing on the nationally famous South Downs Way and heading back south, into the arms of Shoreham-bySea; it’s restaurants, cafés, traditional pubs, modern bars and busy harbour, to say nothing of the ongoing River Festival that will still be in full swing whether you take 30 minutes to run the route or the full two hours!

Fully marshalled and sign-posted, with ample parking near the start and all the expertise and knowledge of a local running club to guide you safely alongside St John Ambulance crews, why not come and see for yourself what this wonderful town and lively Festival has to offer? After all, running isn’t just good for your body, it is good for your soul, and running in such a

Planning my first holiday abroad put me into panic mode! How will I get to Heathrow? Can’t afford a taxi! Too old and frail to risk a train and tube ride!

What about my Luggage?

But all my worries were unnecessary! I caught the 700 bus operating from Chichester to Brighton every 10 minutes which dropped me at Old Stein in Brighton, where National Express coaches leave for Gatwick and Heathrow every hour. Pre-book your time slot and seat, and leave the return date open – allowing you to board the next Coach to your destination. If you are unable to get to the coach terminus on time, another return ticket has to be purchased for £10. Coaches are comfortable, with toilet facilities on board.

I experienced ‘Assisted’ travel for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised at the excellent service. The facilities for anyone requiring assistance from Terminal 5 were impressive. A special check-in counter as well as customs and passport control desks, the choice of two lounges (quiet or noisy!), and a buggy ride was an interesting experience.

Staff assisting were efficient and attentive. Be sure to ask for Assistance when you arrange your flight – there is no additional cost for this service. After an enjoyable wheelchair adventure, Assisted passengers and children are first to board the aircraft.

Another handy tip – if you are flying economy, unable to sleep, and a nervous flier, try and book a seat in the last row on the aisle. There is space at the back for standing and stretching without disturbing anyone else. Although you may be last to disembark, your baggage will be waiting for you, easier to spot. If you are travelling Assisted, the buggy departs once all seats are taken, and once again you have assistance all the way to the Arrival hall.

Happy travelling!
