Local Issues

Many in the rural community are concerned thatconservation policies are becoming increasinglydomesticated. What chance then do we have ofmanaging urban wildlife?

Southend Borough Council does not at presentregard foxes as vermin and therefore has no official strategy to control the expanding population; rather it puts the onus back onhomeowners to decide what to do should theybelieve a fox presents a problem.

This leads to an issue I am particularly passionate about but again, hard evidence is virtually non-existent. However, there is mounting anecdotal evidence that people aretrapping urban foxes and rather than destroyingthem, transporting the animals to the countryside and releasing them in fields orwoods. I contend this is cruel and should be outlawed.

The RSPCA has suggested the practice is a ruralmyth but a pest control officer told me last yearthat a colleague of his has trapped and releasedurban foxes. Gamekeepers regularly report thatthey have shot foxes and discovered them tohave been treated by vets; evidenced by shaved

Out ofpaw-der!

he urban fox, an increasingly commonsight on the streets and in gardens of

the UK, has evolved into a feral species that iswholly unlike its rural cousin.

The ‘Mr Todd’ of the countryside has an acutesense of smell and as a result, is rarely seen in theopen but remains an efficient hunter. Similar tourban foxes, they can easily adapt to a more readily available food source. I keep hens and despite never having seen any signs of a fox nearmy home, still take great care to protect themfrom becoming Reynard’s supper after dark.

However, as readers of Tennyson will know ‘Nature, red in tooth and claw’ is unsentimentaland therefore keeps the population down. This isnot the case in built-up areas and consequentlyurban foxes make up 90% of the total British foxpopulation. I believe that without a clear policyto manage the burgeoning fox population andthat, I’m afraid could lead to a cull.

In the countryside, foxes are by and large regarded as vermin and, even after the HuntingAct became law in 2002, management of speciessuch as red deer, grey squirrels, rats and nowbadgers, require an occasionally lethal approach.

T

Contact with people in their own homes, including attacks, has been well documented inthe media and whilst no such incidents havebeen recorded in Southend, not planning for a‘what if’ scenario could be as effective as simplycrossing your fingers.

As a Conservative politician, one is always mindful that left-leaning folks like to see some, ifnot all of us as toffs on horseback, dressed inbright red, gleefully chasing defenceless animalsto their death. It’s a convenient and often erroneous cliché. It also avoids the fact that, in thetown just as in the country, we need to see beyond foxes’ looks and charisma and take ac-tion when necessary.

I’m not suggesting we have packs of hounds andfolks in hunting pinks on horseback chargingmajestically through the Cliff Gardens but Iwould urge my colleagues at the Council to seriously look at the situation and develop a clearstrategy on managing foxes. I would also verymuch like to see and hear Oracle readers’ ideasand opinions on what they would like us to do.

areas of fur where a drip or stitches had beeninserted, or had amputations and, as one keeperput it: “It’s as though they’ve been wearing carpet slippers, they definitely haven’t beendoing any digging or scratching about in thewild.” A farmer in Wales shot 14 in just one fieldand was astounded that each one didn’t attemptto run away, suggesting that they did not regardman as a threat.

Foxes are also territorial and a dominant dog foxwill do serious injury to an interloper. Removinga fox from its own habitat and releasing it into acompletely alien environment is almost barbaric.If scavenging in an urban setting is all a young foxknows, it risks starving to death in the countryside where scraps left by humans are fewand far between. Furthermore, disregarding thefact that nature itself is wholly unsentimental andthose animals lives are shortened by disease andinjury - well-meaning individuals patching upwounded or sick animals up and then chuckingthem into the nearest field could actually be farworse for their welfare than putting them tosleep.

Oracle Hair & Beauty

Black used to be the staple shoes for everywoman but since nude burst onto the scenethese new babies on the block have rapidlybecome the shoes of choice that go with virtu-ally every and any outfit.

Ironically, the nude palette is actually one thatextends quite far from cream and peach tonesto beige and coffee shades; the neutral palettetakes in so many different forms that you’ll findone that matches your skin tone perfectly.

When black or brown shoes are too dark forsummer days, or you don’t fancy a vibrant huethat has its limitations, a pair of nude-colouredshoes will bring a fresh look.

Apparently the Duchess of Cambridge hasbeen papped nearly ten times wearing herHigh Street nude stilettos. So, if they’re goodenough for the wife of the future King ofEngland in these cash-strapped times, just thinkwhat they could do for you…

ince her Royal wedding, Kate Middleton -sorry, the Duchess of Cambridge - has

become a genuine style icon and she demon-strated this magnificently by being photographedin nude shoes.

Her sister Pippa was also spotted wearing softpink, barely-there heels and since then Britain’swomen have become nudists. Strictly in the fashion sense, of course! The celebrity world hasquickly followed suit, with the likes of VictoriaBeckham also daring to bare. However, it wouldappear that it isn't just because Kate wore themthat has seen them flying off the shelves. Fashionexperts are now suggesting that nude shoescreate the illusion that the wearer has dropped adress size, compared to what they would look likewhen wearing other footwear.

Yes, these shoes actually give the illusion that youare much thinner than you really are. Honey, solong as you follow a magical winning formula…

Here’s the secret! (C + P + H + HW) – AS = S. Con-fused? Then here's how it breaks down (Colour +Platform + Height + Heel Width) – Ankle Strap =Slimming.

This magical formula is then supposed to createthe look of a flatter stomach by lengthening thelegs, tightening the thighs as well encouraging thetorso to be pushed outwards.

Money Matters

and facilitate exit plans, retirement planning, corporate protection and capital tax planningwhich, planned effectively, can reduce or removethe twin threats of Capital Gains Tax and Inheri-tance Tax.

With the right professional advice, owners couldunlock some of the wealth currently tied up in thebusiness, allowing it to continue to thrive oncethey have left. At the same time, it is important toprotect the business from the impact of death inservice of key people, an important issue oftenoverlooked by SME's.

The days of a 'set in stone' retirement age of 60 or65 are long gone and these days, all kinds ofoptions are open. Early retirement may be part ofthe game plan. Or the owner may be enjoying thework so much that they want to carry on.

Whatever demands and pressures are placed onyour time today it’s important to start thinkingabout putting that strategic plan in place.

t is extremely important to have aneffective Exit Strategy in place for you

and your business.

For tax reasons alone, it is essential that everyowner of a privately run business should have anexit strategy plan. Yet surprisingly, few businessowners actually have one. Normally, they are toobusy just to stop and think about what will happen when they finally decide to call it a day.

Very few owners have given serious considerationto the ultimate question – the final realisation ofall that they have worked for. Even if a businessowner does not have plans to leave the companyin the foreseeable future, the consequences of failing to plan ahead can be both considerableand expensive.

Strategic planning is vital if owners want to ensurethat they end up with the maximum cash in handafter taxation. With proper advice and planning,taxes can be substantially reduced, deferred oreven eliminated in some cases. A well-plannedstrategy should embrace the owner's personaland business objectives, the value of his or hershare in the business, the ability to realise thisshare when required, and to cope financiallyshould the exit be forced.

There is a range of financial planning tools, whichcan be applied to the development of an exitstrategy. These include international investments,cashflow injections to support the balance sheet

Just a small part of a group lot of localsouvenir wares.

ellers are not the only people to ask us for advice. One of the most common questions

from potential new buyers is “what should I collect”?That usually means “what’s going to make me a quickprofit” so the answer is “you must decide that foryourself, I can’t guarantee how the market will change”.

However, sometimes it’s a more general question fromsomeone looking for a new hobby or more oftenwanting to get a youngster away from computers andTV.

In this instance, at the moment, I would say take a lookat local history. Local collectables such as the souvenirwares of the late 19th and early 20th C are generallyinexpensive and can be bought in groups to get thecollection off the ground quickly. Local postcards arealso a great source of fun as well as giving an idea howan area has developed over the years. Who wouldthink, for instance, that Victorian style crinoline dresseswere still around in the 1920’s alongside flapperdresses? Take a look at postcards of Southend seafrontin that period and there they are!

recipe of the month

his dessert is a twist on the classicstrawberry shortcake. The addition of

maple syrup works really well with the tangy raspberries and also in the crisp biscuits. The biscuits can be made a day or two ahead and keptin an airtight container and the sauce can be madeand kept in the fridge, so on the day it is just assembling the dessert, easy.

Enjoy!

Pace scoops Sunday Times Letting Agency Award

t was great to see a Southend companyamongst inner-City lettings agents pick up

a prestigious annual Sunday Times Letting AgencyAward. PACE plc was in the company of a select fewfrom hundreds of entrants who were fortunateenough to win on the day, scooping the Silver Awardfor ‘Best Single Office Lettings Agent’ in the SouthEast.

The awards were announced by four times OlympicGold medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent at a lavish luncheon & ceremony at the Lancaster Hotel attended by 500 of the UK's top letting agents.

The competition within the South East category wasparticularly fierce with it being one of the most hotlycontended geographic categories inviting entrantsfrom across, Berkshire, East Sussex, Essex, Hampshire,Kent, Middlesex, Surrey, West Sussex.

PACE sailed through a rigorous judging process toemerge as a winner, which not only involved a written application, but an in-depth interviewfollowed by an unannounced visit from a ‘mysteryshopper’.

The judging panel, chaired by The PropertyOmbudsman Christopher Homer, consisted ofrenowned individuals from the property world. In reviewing a vast number of entries, the panel agreedthat PACE’s ‘devotion to providing everyone with ahome made it a worthy silver winner for the category’. Judges were also impressed by PACE’s online payment facility for tenants, which has

I enabled it to collect an impressive 97% of rents due. With special attention being paid to PACE’s ‘high-quality service’ and ‘robust systems andprocesses’, Managing Director of PACE, Crystal Horwood, was more than delighted, commenting:

“The Sunday Times Letting Agency of the YearAwards are the longest running and most soughtafter awards in the lettings industry. We work exceptionally hard on behalf of our growingportfolio of landlords and tenants and this accoladeproves the high standards we set ourselves.

“As noted by the judging panel, our provision of dedicated property managers and ability to resolveproblems before they become an issue is reflectedby the fact that more than 35% of our managedtenants have stayed with us for at least 3 years.”

Production InformationAssuming permission is granted, you are now in aposition to deal with the ‘nuts and bolts’ of thedevelopment. The planning drawings detail the style,size and layout of the project, the productiondrawings show how it is to be built. Your architectwill produce drawings that detail exactly how thescheme will be constructed. At this time all parts ofthe construction are considered, from the structuralimplications through to fixtures and fittings. Yourarchitect should act as lead consultant, liaising withall other professionals, i.e. structural engineers andparty wall surveyors. They will produce a package ofinformation to send out for tender to a chosen list ofcontractors, which your Architect will help formulate
