Northern ReliefRoad UpdateThe Carlisle Northern Development

Route with all its associated advan-tages and disadvantages has covered alot of press space in the months sinceBalfour Beatty was appointed the pre-ferred bidder in 2007. The project wasinitially held up when the originalbacker, Dexia pulled out. But what ishappening now?

On the 18th May it was stated in“Construction News” that Barclays,Helaba, National Australia Bank andSMBC were prepared to take on amatched proportion of the £90 milliondebt. Effectively if this is to be donefinancial closure on the project will bedrawing very near, construction workwill be ready to go and Balfour Beattywill begin the construction of the fivemile single carriageway road linkingJ44 with the A595 at Newby West.

The County Council have been prepar-ing the scheme for many years now andare keen to promote the benefits theroute will bring. The easing of conges-tion associated with the traffic goinginto the city and the provision of linksbetween West Cumbria, Scotland andthe North East has also been particu-larly highlighted. There has also beenthe potential improvement to the localeconomy and employment prospectsmentioned with special reference beingmade to Kingmoor Park. The Councilhas made its connections with the rele-vant organisations, which they stateinclude Natural England, English

Heritage and the Environment Agencyin an attempt to make sure everythingpossible has been done to account forthe local environment and wildlife.

With all their highlighted concerns metand a time line of over 12 months forthe complete construction we hope theNorthern Development Route deliverson all its potential promises andbecomes a valued addition to the area.We will endeavour to keep you updatedand please feel free to let us know yourthoughts.

Overall crime on the Stanwix UrbanWard hasshown a verys l i g h tincrease inthe last threemonths onthe equiva-lent periodlast year butwe are stilldealing withvery small numbers and the ward stillremains on of the safest places to live.

Vehicle crime has fallen by 62.5% andburglaries by 33%. We have howeverhad increases on adjacent areas, par-ticularly in the area of sneak in burgla-ries where the residents are often onthe premises and have left windowsand doors insecure. A recent‘Streetsafe’ opera-tion on Lowry Hillwhere in excess of68 residents werespoken to severalof them admittedto routinely or fre-quently leavingthe front andother doorsunlocked whilst athome during the day, evening and insome cases overnight. All of them stat-ed that they had not considered bur-glary to be a real risk in the area theylive in.

At this time of year we would alsoexpect to see an increase in shed bur-glaries and cycle thefts and wouldencourage all residents to ensure thattheir sheds are secure and any proper-ty inside security marked.

What canyou do whencash yieldsnothing??

Investors are facing another year ofdifficult decisions with interest on

bank accounts dropping to near zerolevels. Interest on UK current accountswas recently reported to average 0.1%.With higher risks associated with equi-ties and other asset classes like proper-ty and fixed interest, many investorsare wondering where to go next inorder to maximise the returns on theirsavings.

It is coming clearer by the day that thecurrent economic recession is likely tobe deep and prolonged due to theextent of the ongoing deleveragingprocess in the consumer, corporateand financial sectors. Recovery even ona subdued basis is not looking likelyuntil at least 2010.

Presently for UK equities the averagehistoric dividend yield relative to cashis close to a record high and suggestsgood equity value.

Before clients consider other assetclasses in order to increase theirincome or potential capital growth it isstrongly recommended that they takeIndependent Financial Advice toensure that any investment meets theirrisk profile and that they fully under-stand the greater risks involved withEquities, property, fixed interest andcommodities.

Look Beyond The BanksMany people are still relying on theirbanks for advice on their investmentswithout realizing the advice is some-times far from independent. We are allaware of the current state some of thebanks are in because they haven't beenable to manage their own risks yet theystill ask their customers to trust themwith their investments!

“...still relying on theirbanks for advice on their

investments withoutrealizing...”

Sadly the days of having a local bankmanager who looks after you person-ally have long gone and all staff fromfront line cashiers to FinancialAdvisers have sales targets to meet.To a bank, investment management isjust another product to sell you.

People should be aware there are somany other options but the mostimportant thing is that they can getgood quality independent financialadvice from an independent adviser.

A big concern is those retired peoplewho have seen a drop of over 75% inthe interest rates on their savings andwe would urge these clients to find agood independent adviser and ask fora review.

If you are in a position where you relyon your savings for income or you areunhappy with current savings returnsyou may find a great deal of benefit inreviewing your current investmentchoices to either increase yourincome or grow your capital over thelonger term.

Please remember that other forms ofinvestment carry a greater degree ofrisk and that the value of the invest-ments can fall as well as rise and it isimperative that you seek advice priorto investing.

To Bee or not toBee!

Gardening for Bees

“If the bee disappeared off the surfaceof the globe then man would onlyhave four years of life left. No morebees, no more pollination, no moreplants, no more animals, no moreman." —Albert Einstein

Bumblebees arebeautiful, hard

working and incrediblyimportant pollina-tors. When Einsteinmade his famous state-ment the UK had 27species, but now sadly,three are nationallyextinct, and others areseriously threat-ened. Perhaps thissummer we could all trysomething a little dif-ferent in our gardens.

Our yellow and blackfriends eat only nectarand pollen which makesthem entirely depend-ent on an adequate sup-ply of the right kinds offlowers throughout theyear. Unfortunately wildflowers havebecome scarce in the countryside andas a result bumblebee numbers havefallen, however if the right plants aregrown at home in our gardens we canhelp provide a stronghold for bumble-bees and other wildlife.

Gardens cover more than 1 millionhectares of Britain, far exceeding thecombined area of all our naturereserves. However, at present a lot ofgardens are not especially friendly towildlife. Many are covered with pavingor decking, or are populated with exot-

ic or highly cultivated garden flowersthat produce little or no pollen andnectar, or keep it hidden away fromthe bees. Pansies, petunias, busy-lizzies and begonias undoubtedly adda splash of colour, but years of selec-tion for increasingly showy bloomshave resulted in the flowers losingtheir original function of attractingpollinating insects.

As a change this month, why not gonatural. Try growing traditional cot-tage garden flowers and native wild-flowers. Many of these thrive and looksuperb in the garden. They are alsoeasy to grow and are much moreresistant to slugs and disease. Indeedmany wildflowers are already readilyaccepted as garden plants, with fox-

gloves and blue-bells makinggood examples.There are alsomany other lesserknown wildflow-ers. Viper’sbugloss, forexample, pro-duces tall, purplespikes that lookstunning in anherbaceous bor-der and positivelydrip nectar.B u m b l e b e especies differ inthe length of theirtongues, and as aresult prefer dif-ferent flowers, soit's important togrow a range ofdifferent things.

One of the simplest things you can doto help your bumblebees is to leave anarea of your lawn uncut during thesummer. If you don't mow betweenlate June and early August, your lawnwill burst into flower with clovers andbirds-foot trefoil.

"If you don't mowbetween late June and

early August, your lawnwill burst into

flower... "

This needn't look untidy - make it aninteresting shape, and border it with amown path so that you can enjoywatching your bumblebees foragingaway. Bumblebee season continues allthe way through until mid September,so if you are thinking of some suitableplants, here are a few you could try…

MAY- JUNE

Foxglove, Geranium, Honeysuckle,Thyme, Roses, Campanula, Poppies,Raspberries

JULY- SEPTEMBER

Brambles, Lavender, Mint,Snapdragons, Heathers, Cornflowers,Thistles, Hollyhock

If everyone provided just one plantfrom each list, the future of our sur-viving bumblebee species would be alittle more secure.

Thanks go to the Bumblebee ConservationTrust for the information provided. If youwould like any further information on bum-blebees or the work carried out by TheBumblebee Conservation Trust please checkout their website at www.bumblebeeconser-vation.org or ring the Trust on 01786 467818.

Viper's bugloss (Echium vulgare) -Perhaps the very best plant to attractbumblebees to your garden. Much lovedby almost all species, and it looks greattoo. Flowers June-August

temperatures, no washing facilities, adiet of porridge, carbs and popcorn thedays passed and the altitude sicknessbegan to take its toll. At a height of19000 feet oxygen levels drop andbreathing naturally becomes more dif-ficult.

Whilst Karen was unfortunately turnedaway from the summit due to sickness,Carol-Ann and fourteen others made itto the top

and in her ownwords the sunrisemade the 12 monthsof hard work allworthwhile,

“It was just magi-cal. The sun rising in an amazing arrayof colours; the reds, the whites, theblues and a spectacular view over theglacier. It was just wonderful.”

Carol-AnnRossCarol-Ann Ross and Karen Gill our

adventurous local community staffnurses decided torecognise the work ofour Macmillan Nursesand set about raisingmoney by climbingKilimanjaro.

It may not be the easiestways to raise money (ofthe 4000 people whoattempt the climb eachyear only 1500 actuallymake it to the top) butthe pair set about with afervour in their attemptsto raise at least £4000each before beginningthe ascent.

Not only were there thenumerous charityevents, quiz nights, bag packing andmore to organise, but there was alsothe actual physical training to contendwith.

“...decided to recognisethe work of our

Macmillan Nurses andset about raising

money by climbingKilimanjaro...”

The climb to the peak of Kilimanjarowould take 5 days and at 5 times theheight of Snowdon it is no easy feat,especially with a 30 litre bag! WhilstCarol-Ann hiked many summits in thelakes and completed days of walkingon the East coast, you are more likelyto have seen her putting the milesbehind as she walked one of her manyroutes around Carlisle. Nearly a year after her training hadbegan it was time for the big event. Itwas 20th February 2009 and she wasready. Meeting up with her walkinggroup of 22 and the local guides whowere expertly led by Ralph, the walkbegan. Life was about to change; withblisters, long drop toilets, sub zero

After taking her fill of the newlyformed day it was time for the descentwhich Carol-Ann found to be quitetroublesome, with all attention beinggiven to the climb the speedy descentwas an unexpected difficulty.

Now safely home, it is all credit toCarol-Ann and her group, that savewaiting for last minute donations thegroup may just raise £100,000

pounds. An amazingachievement and one ofwhich she should be proudto have been part of.

Does successfully meetingsuch a difficult challengechange a person? WellCarol-Ann full of pride inher achievement believesshe can now meet any chal-lenge and who could arguethe point, not me…So whatnext for our local explorer?You won’t be surprised to

hear that she has her eyes set on theArctic Challenge which involves 7 daysof travel led by two ex-marines, all inaide of the Anthony Nolan trust. Withtravel by skidoo, sledging and foot wewish her all the best of luck.

It seems unfair thatthose who put their

bodies through tor-turous pastimes forpleasure can sailalong with no morethan a need to sleepand eat more and canbounce back frominjury whilst thosewho lead gentle,sedate lives can befloored by a simpledaily task withoutwarning. Perhapsthat is the very point.

Personally I have noproblem acceptingheavy legs the dayafter a particularlygood bike ride. Mostsports come with theinevitable risk ofinjury with cycling noexception but therewards outweigh therisk. Expecting theodd spill comes withthe game. With hind-sight avoiding icyroads and large hedgecuttings could haveprevented many of myresident aches. Participating in sportis probably one of the few remainingactivities where the person is allowedto perform their own risk assessment.I love that release and loath the anx-ious society we are heading towards.

I’m certain that the body rather likeshaving something to do. Without achallenge the smaller stabilising mus-cles simply drift off and become dor-mant. It is perhaps little wonder thenthat if we perform a task day in day outand do little else at some point thebody will rebel. We constantly reachforward but do we bend back? I cananswer for the majority and say ‘no’.

Over the many years of teachingPilates, now entering into the tenth, Ihave taken an enormous dollop of hap-piness when a real difference is madeto someone who has taken it uponthemselves to reach out for help. Our

backs are fantastically made until weget at them. Made up of 22 pieces ofvarying sizes and cushioned by shockabsorbers we take them very much forgranted and we shouldn’t.

In my experience an event will triggera slight niggle that generally disap-pears over a day or two. Our memo-ries then fade and normal daily habitsreturn and therein the problembegins. That little niggle may changethe way we hold our posture. Tobegin with in such a small way it maybe barely noticeable. Over time weadapt and cease to use many of thosestabilising muscles.

Our bodies are wonderful machinesbut they do need to be kept in finetune. When everything works in syncwe can control small aches and pains.What is more we can find them before

they manifest into something muchmore unnecessary. Prevention is veryoften the cure.

We all, regardless of age and fitness,need some degree of fine tuning.Pilates is like no other form of move-ment. It helps everybody. One of thethings it does time and time again isgive confidence in those who have feltso rotten they have lost sight of how itfeels to ‘move’ with any degree of ease.

An hour of being strengthened,lengthened and loosened is such atonic that bottled it would be worth afortune.

Look on thebright side!

At last! Spring appears to havesprung with an array of flora

appearing in our hedgerows, gardensand window boxes, whilst on the highstreet its FLORALS bursting thro’ fromromantic delicate prints to big boldflowers, taking us from Spring toSummer.

If however you are looking for some-thing edgier, try graphic, abstract andpsychedelic prints in major colourmixes, Alternatively Ethnic is backwith embroidery and embellishmentstaken from the Aztec/tribal influences,wear as a statement piece or teammore dramatic styles with subtle acces-sories.

‘Alternatively Ethnic

is back with embroidery

and embellishments...’

Colour is key this season whether it bein the form of vibrant prints or prettyflorals in various colour combinations.So it’s time to be bold, express yourselfand experiment. Colour ismood lifting giving a confidentand positive look. Team brightreds with greens, purple withorange, blues with yellows, notforgetting the ubiquitous blackand white; all of which providea more exotic slant to the icecream pallet of pistachio, pale berryand apricot and the softer metallicgold, ice blue and taupe which give asofter more feminine look (talking offeminine, ruffles which came to thefore in Autumn/Winter are still aroundfor the Summer on jackets, blouses andparticularly dresses, I digress, so backto colour)

Pastel shades of pink, yellow and blueare great combined with the neutral

tones of beige, brown and white butalso look good head to toe, as we con-cede do white/ off white and grey,which is also set to be another domi-nant trend, minimalistic but chic. Mixdifferent textures and layers foradded interest.

At the opposite end of thecolour spectrum we haveblocks of colour in pillar boxred, jade and cobalt allshouting to be teamed witha good wide leg whitetrouser, jeans or skirt, pairthese with a soft drapingsilk or crisp cotton shirt.

Denim, a fabric rather than a colour Iknow, but according to the catwalkqueens (or fashionistas it is making acomeback! Did it ever go away?) Ithas to be vintage which isStonewashed so it’s back to the eight-ies or the back of the wardrobe forinspiration. A classic jacket worn overa dress or tailored pants for a morecasual look with jeans which for the

summer are cropped or rolled to justabove the ankle, skinny or loose, so inthe words of eighties girl bandBananarama “It ain’t what you do it’sthe way that you do it”–so start wash-ing!!

If however you or your wardrobe arenot quite ready to be bowled over withcolour then accessorise, accessorise,accessorise!! All the trends are car-ried through in accessories. Look forunusual print bags, in a variety of tex-tures-mock crock, embellished fabricor luxury Chanel style quilting.Scarves with embroidery/detail needto be long enough to drape round theneck to give a Bo-ho look.

Finally to create drama, jewelleryneeds to be oversized, bright and bold.If you go for a dramatic style wearmore neutral accessories and viceversa.

So although black and white are still aperennial favourite, let’s cheer our-selves up with a look on the bright sidethis summer!!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.

Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway,

I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,

I notice mail on the porch table that

I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,

Put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,

And notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back

On the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,

Since I'm going to be near the mailbox

When I take out the garbage anyway,

I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my cheque book off the table,

And see that there is only one cheque left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study,

So I go inside the house to my desk where

I find the cup of coffee I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my cheques,

But first I need to push the Coffee aside

So that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The Coffee is getting cold,

And I decide to make another cup.

As I head toward the kitchen with the cold coffee,

A vase of flowers on the counter

Catches my eye--they need water.

I put the Coffee on the counter and

Discover my reading glasses that

I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk,

But first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,

Fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TVremote.

Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,

I'll be looking for the remote,

But I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,

So I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,

But first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,

But quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,

Get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to

Remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The car isn't washed

The bills aren't paid

There is a cold cup of coffee sitting on the counter

The flowers don't have enough water,

There is still only 1 cheque in my cheque book,

I can't find the remote,

I can't find my glasses,

And I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,

I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all darn day,

And I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,

And I'll try to get some help for it,

But first I'll check my e-mail....

Do me a favor.

Forward this message to

everyone you know,

Because I don't remember

who the xx I've sent it to.

Don't laugh

-- if this isn't you yet,

your day is coming!!

It seems unfair thatthose who put their

bodies through tor-turous pastimes forpleasure can sailalong with no morethan a need to sleepand eat more and canbounce back frominjury whilst thosewho lead gentle,sedate lives can befloored by a simpledaily task withoutwarning. Perhapsthat is the very point.

Personally I have noproblem acceptingheavy legs the dayafter a particularlygood bike ride. Mostsports come with theinevitable risk ofinjury with cycling noexception but therewards outweigh therisk. Expecting theodd spill comes withthe game. With hind-sight avoiding icyroads and large hedgecuttings could haveprevented many of myresident aches. Participating in sportis probably one of the few remainingactivities where the person is allowedto perform their own risk assessment.I love that release and loath the anx-ious society we are heading towards.

I’m certain that the body rather likeshaving something to do. Without achallenge the smaller stabilising mus-cles simply drift off and become dor-mant. It is perhaps little wonder thenthat if we perform a task day in day outand do little else at some point thebody will rebel. We constantly reachforward but do we bend back? I cananswer for the majority and say ‘no’.

Over the many years of teachingPilates, now entering into the tenth, Ihave taken an enormous dollop of hap-piness when a real difference is madeto someone who has taken it uponthemselves to reach out for help. Our

backs are fantastically made until weget at them. Made up of 22 pieces ofvarying sizes and cushioned by shockabsorbers we take them very much forgranted and we shouldn’t.

In my experience an event will triggera slight niggle that generally disap-pears over a day or two. Our memo-ries then fade and normal daily habitsreturn and therein the problembegins. That little niggle may changethe way we hold our posture. Tobegin with in such a small way it maybe barely noticeable. Over time weadapt and cease to use many of thosestabilising muscles.

Our bodies are wonderful machinesbut they do need to be kept in finetune. When everything works in syncwe can control small aches and pains.What is more we can find them before

they manifest into something muchmore unnecessary. Prevention is veryoften the cure.

We all, regardless of age and fitness,need some degree of fine tuning.Pilates is like no other form of move-ment. It helps everybody. One of thethings it does time and time again isgive confidence in those who have feltso rotten they have lost sight of how itfeels to ‘move’ with any degree of ease.

An hour of being strengthened,lengthened and loosened is such atonic that bottled it would be worth afortune.

To Bee or not toBee!

Gardening for Bees

“If the bee disappeared off the surfaceof the globe then man would onlyhave four years of life left. No morebees, no more pollination, no moreplants, no more animals, no moreman." —Albert Einstein

Bumblebees arebeautiful, hard

working and incrediblyimportant pollina-tors. When Einsteinmade his famous state-ment the UK had 27species, but now sadly,three are nationallyextinct, and others areseriously threat-ened. Perhaps thissummer we could all trysomething a little dif-ferent in our gardens.

Our yellow and blackfriends eat only nectarand pollen which makesthem entirely depend-ent on an adequate sup-ply of the right kinds offlowers throughout theyear. Unfortunately wildflowers havebecome scarce in the countryside andas a result bumblebee numbers havefallen, however if the right plants aregrown at home in our gardens we canhelp provide a stronghold for bumble-bees and other wildlife.

Gardens cover more than 1 millionhectares of Britain, far exceeding thecombined area of all our naturereserves. However, at present a lot ofgardens are not especially friendly towildlife. Many are covered with pavingor decking, or are populated with exot-

ic or highly cultivated garden flowersthat produce little or no pollen andnectar, or keep it hidden away fromthe bees. Pansies, petunias, busy-lizzies and begonias undoubtedly adda splash of colour, but years of selec-tion for increasingly showy bloomshave resulted in the flowers losingtheir original function of attractingpollinating insects.

As a change this month, why not gonatural. Try growing traditional cot-tage garden flowers and native wild-flowers. Many of these thrive and looksuperb in the garden. They are alsoeasy to grow and are much moreresistant to slugs and disease. Indeedmany wildflowers are already readilyaccepted as garden plants, with fox-

gloves and blue-bells makinggood examples.There are alsomany other lesserknown wildflow-ers. Viper’sbugloss, forexample, pro-duces tall, purplespikes that lookstunning in anherbaceous bor-der and positivelydrip nectar.B u m b l e b e especies differ inthe length of theirtongues, and as aresult prefer dif-ferent flowers, soit's important togrow a range ofdifferent things.

One of the simplest things you can doto help your bumblebees is to leave anarea of your lawn uncut during thesummer. If you don't mow betweenlate June and early August, your lawnwill burst into flower with clovers andbirds-foot trefoil.

"If you don't mowbetween late June and

early August, your lawnwill burst into

flower... "

This needn't look untidy - make it aninteresting shape, and border it with amown path so that you can enjoywatching your bumblebees foragingaway. Bumblebee season continues allthe way through until mid September,so if you are thinking of some suitableplants, here are a few you could try…

MAY- JUNE

Foxglove, Geranium, Honeysuckle,Thyme, Roses, Campanula, Poppies,Raspberries

JULY- SEPTEMBER

Brambles, Lavender, Mint,Snapdragons, Heathers, Cornflowers,Thistles, Hollyhock

If everyone provided just one plantfrom each list, the future of our sur-viving bumblebee species would be alittle more secure.

temperatures, no washing facilities, adiet of porridge, carbs and popcorn thedays passed and the altitude sicknessbegan to take its toll. At a height of19000 feet oxygen levels drop andbreathing naturally becomes more dif-ficult.

Whilst Karen was unfortunately turnedaway from the summit due to sickness,Carol-Ann and fourteen others made itto the top

and in her ownwords the sunrisemade the 12 monthsof hard work allworthwhile,

“It was just magi-cal. The sun rising in an amazing arrayof colours; the reds, the whites, theblues and a spectacular view over theglacier. It was just wonderful.”

Carol-AnnRossCarol-Ann Ross and Karen Gill our

adventurous local community staffnurses decided torecognise the work ofour Macmillan Nursesand set about raisingmoney by climbingKilimanjaro.

It may not be the easiestways to raise money (ofthe 4000 people whoattempt the climb eachyear only 1500 actuallymake it to the top) butthe pair set about with afervour in their attemptsto raise at least £4000each before beginningthe ascent.

Not only were there thenumerous charityevents, quiz nights, bag packing andmore to organise, but there was alsothe actual physical training to contendwith.

“...decided to recognisethe work of our

Macmillan Nurses andset about raising

money by climbingKilimanjaro...”

The climb to the peak of Kilimanjarowould take 5 days and at 5 times theheight of Snowdon it is no easy feat,especially with a 30 litre bag! WhilstCarol-Ann hiked many summits in thelakes and completed days of walkingon the East coast, you are more likelyto have seen her putting the milesbehind as she walked one of her manyroutes around Carlisle. Nearly a year after her training hadbegan it was time for the big event. Itwas 20th February 2009 and she wasready. Meeting up with her walkinggroup of 22 and the local guides whowere expertly led by Ralph, the walkbegan. Life was about to change; withblisters, long drop toilets, sub zero

After taking her fill of the newlyformed day it was time for the descentwhich Carol-Ann found to be quitetroublesome, with all attention beinggiven to the climb the speedy descentwas an unexpected difficulty.

Now safely home, it is all credit toCarol-Ann and her group, that savewaiting for last minute donations thegroup may just raise £100,000

pounds. An amazingachievement and one ofwhich she should be proudto have been part of.

Does successfully meetingsuch a difficult challengechange a person? WellCarol-Ann full of pride inher achievement believesshe can now meet any chal-lenge and who could arguethe point, not me…So whatnext for our local explorer?You won’t be surprised to

hear that she has her eyes set on theArctic Challenge which involves 7 daysof travel led by two ex-marines, all inaide of the Anthony Nolan trust. Withtravel by skidoo, sledging and foot wewish her all the best of luck.

What canyou do whencash yieldsnothing??

Investors are facing another year ofdifficult decisions with interest on

bank accounts dropping to near zerolevels. Interest on UK current accountswas recently reported to average 0.1%.With higher risks associated with equi-ties and other asset classes like proper-ty and fixed interest, many investorsare wondering where to go next inorder to maximise the returns on theirsavings.

It is coming clearer by the day that thecurrent economic recession is likely tobe deep and prolonged due to theextent of the ongoing deleveragingprocess in the consumer, corporateand financial sectors. Recovery even ona subdued basis is not looking likelyuntil at least 2010.

Presently for UK equities the averagehistoric dividend yield relative to cashis close to a record high and suggestsgood equity value.

Before clients consider other assetclasses in order to increase theirincome or potential capital growth it isstrongly recommended that they takeIndependent Financial Advice toensure that any investment meets theirrisk profile and that they fully under-stand the greater risks involved withEquities, property, fixed interest andcommodities.

Look Beyond The BanksMany people are still relying on theirbanks for advice on their investmentswithout realizing the advice is some-times far from independent. We are allaware of the current state some of thebanks are in because they haven't beenable to manage their own risks yet theystill ask their customers to trust themwith their investments!

“...still relying on theirbanks for advice on their

investments withoutrealizing...”

Sadly the days of having a local bankmanager who looks after you person-ally have long gone and all staff fromfront line cashiers to FinancialAdvisers have sales targets to meet.To a bank, investment management isjust another product to sell you.

People should be aware there are somany other options but the mostimportant thing is that they can getgood quality independent financialadvice from an independent adviser.

A big concern is those retired peoplewho have seen a drop of over 75% inthe interest rates on their savings andwe would urge these clients to find agood independent adviser and ask fora review.

If you are in a position where you relyon your savings for income or you areunhappy with current savings returnsyou may find a great deal of benefit inreviewing your current investmentchoices to either increase yourincome or grow your capital over thelonger term.

Please remember that other forms ofinvestment carry a greater degree ofrisk and that the value of the invest-ments can fall as well as rise and it isimperative that you seek advice priorto investing.

Northern ReliefRoad UpdateThe Carlisle Northern Development

Route with all its associated advan-tages and disadvantages has covered alot of press space in the months sinceBalfour Beatty was appointed the pre-ferred bidder in 2007. The project wasinitially held up when the originalbacker, Dexia pulled out. But what ishappening now?

On the 18th May it was stated in“Construction News” that Barclays,Helaba, National Australia Bank andSMBC were prepared to take on amatched proportion of the £90 milliondebt. Effectively if this is to be donefinancial closure on the project will bedrawing very near, construction workwill be ready to go and Balfour Beattywill begin the construction of the fivemile single carriageway road linkingJ44 with the A595 at Newby West.

The County Council have been prepar-ing the scheme for many years now andare keen to promote the benefits theroute will bring. The easing of conges-tion associated with the traffic goinginto the city and the provision of linksbetween West Cumbria, Scotland andthe North East has also been particu-larly highlighted. There has also beenthe potential improvement to the localeconomy and employment prospectsmentioned with special reference beingmade to Kingmoor Park. The Councilhas made its connections with the rele-vant organisations, which they stateinclude Natural England, English

Heritage and the Environment Agencyin an attempt to make sure everythingpossible has been done to account forthe local environment and wildlife.

With all their highlighted concerns metand a time line of over 12 months forthe complete construction we hope theNorthern Development Route deliverson all its potential promises andbecomes a valued addition to the area.We will endeavour to keep you updatedand please feel free to let us know yourthoughts.

Overall crime on the Stanwix UrbanWard hasshown a verys l i g h tincrease inthe last threemonths onthe equiva-lent periodlast year butwe are stilldealing withvery small numbers and the ward stillremains on of the safest places to live.

Vehicle crime has fallen by 62.5% andburglaries by 33%. We have howeverhad increases on adjacent areas, par-ticularly in the area of sneak in burgla-ries where the residents are often onthe premises and have left windowsand doors insecure. A recent‘Streetsafe’ opera-tion on Lowry Hillwhere in excess of68 residents werespoken to severalof them admittedto routinely or fre-quently leavingthe front andother doorsunlocked whilst athome during the day, evening and insome cases overnight. All of them stat-ed that they had not considered bur-glary to be a real risk in the area theylive in.

At this time of year we would alsoexpect to see an increase in shed bur-glaries and cycle thefts and wouldencourage all residents to ensure thattheir sheds are secure and any proper-ty inside security marked.

Be reassured that the Stanwix UrbanWard is one of the safest places to livebut if you feel that you need to speakwith any of us please do not hesitate tocontact us. ( Contact details in thebody of this article. )
