SALTNEY featured on national television last month in a report on places with a claim to fame.The feature on The One Show, on BBC 1

explained how half the area is in England and the other half in Wales. This led to confusion about council tax and bin collection, among other matters.

PEOPLE in Handbridge fear that the area will lose its identity if more students move in as a result of the University of Chester taking over County Hall.Cheshire West and Chester Council is to

sell County Hall to the university and move across Nicholas Street, into the recently completed iconic HQ building.Twenty objections have been received

by the council, mainly from Handbridge residents. Their main worry is that Handbridge will become more like Garden Lane, with family homes turned into student digs.One objector even said that Handbridge

could become a ‘student ghetto’.However, council leader Cllr Mike Jones

said: “Whichever way you look at this decision, it is a good one for city and university, simply because each benefi ts from the other.”

Custard in one ear, jelly in the other. Sorry, I’m a trifl e deaf!

Do you realise that some doorstep lenders charge up to 545% APR on loans. one finance company, has agreed, according to a report in The Guardian on 28th July, that some of its customers have been charged annualised inter-est rates of up to 545%! They reported profits for the first 6 months of 2009 at £53.1mill, up 3.5%.This prompted the charity `Barnardo`s ` to call on the office of Fair Trading to to investigate the practices of lenders that `prey on the poor`. They cited an example of a loan calculation of £500 over 23 weeks, the total repaid would be £747.50 – an interest rate of 545% APR.There are several `doorstep lender` com-panies with thousands of customers in Cheshire West, calling on people and offering personal loans to people who have few other choices. If you are paying off a loan and you are un-happy with the amount you have to pay back, there is an alternative. West Cheshire Credit Union exists to provide small, lo-cost loans to people who live or work in the West Cheshire area. The most a credit union can charge, by law, is 2% per month, equivalent to 26.8% APR, a massive difference with any current doorstep credit business. `Many of our customers have taken out a loan from us to pay off a doorstep lender, and then they save a lot in future interest payments` said John Dearnley, Marketing Director of West Cheshire Credit Union. If you have a current loan with a doorstep lender, the sooner you join the credit union and pay it off with a lower-cost loan, the more you will save. This has to be a sensible move, to join call 01244 399006 or use the website, wccu.co.uk to download an application form.

I CANHave emotional freedom

Negative emotions and limiting self beliefs can cause much unnecessary suffering and prevents many people fromenjoying the happiness and peace they deserve in their life.

‘You can have emotional freedom’emotional freedom technique or eft, is a powerful self help tool which enables us to overcome any form of negative emotion or limiting belief e.g anxiety, phobias, lack of self confidence etc.When we are born our unconscious response system is almost a clean sheet and as we develop we learn

to respond, we learn to walk, talk, read, etc. We are not born with a fear of flying, spiders, lifts, nor are we born lacking in confidence or suffering from exam or driving test nerves and we are definitely not born with cravings for chocolate, crisps or alcohol. all of these negative emotions are learned responses, negative programming of our unconscious.By using eft any negative emotion that has been learned – can be un learned, quickly, easily and

permenently.eft works through focusing on the emotion you want to remove and gently tapping meridian points

(it has been described as ‘emotional acupuncture without the needles’)- the results are both amazing and immediate. eft is both gentle and powerful, is easily learned and very often will work when nothing else will.due to its powerful and immediate results, the popularity and use of eft is growing rapidly; it has also been adopted for use by specialist branches of the nhS.

For further information, to book an appointment or consultationor simply for an informal chat about how EFT can help YOU,

LAST season ended well for Westminster Park FC with the Under 10s Lions fi nishing top of their group and playing in their age group fi nals at the Chester City stadium and Under 14s Warriors team being awarded the leagues Fair Play Award. This award refl ects the ethos of the club which is to promote football as a positive and

enjoyable experience. The club also ran a ‘Pay as you Play’ scheme that attracted more than 80 children in Reception, Y1 and Y2. As well as encouraging young children to enjoy football the scheme has helped the club to establish new teams for the coming season. At the July AGM the club agreed a new constitution and elected a new committee. The new

constitution is a fi rst step for the club to apply for FA Chartered status which we plan to do in the coming season. The new committee includes the election of a new chairman, Peter Williams who has been involved in football as a player and a coach for most of his life, and the appointment of a senior coach, Kevan Hearn to help develop the standards of football within the club. Anyone interested in joining our growing club, as a player or volunteer, should contact the

club secretary Tracy Sheedy on 01244 680544 or [email protected]. All volunteers are subject to a CRB check and are given full training. For more information see our website www.westminsterparkfc.co.uk

HomeopatHy is one of the two most widely used forms of medicine in the world today because people

are discovering the benefits of a system of medicine that is safe, effective and treats them as unique individuals.Homeopathy is a complete system of

medicine that treats mental, emotional and physical illness.Homeopathic medicines are chosen to treat

the whole person because homeopaths believe the mind and body operate as one, and you cannot treat one part of the body without affecting the whole. medicines are chosen to fit all the characteristics of the patient, so physical disorders are considered in relation to the individual’s mental and emotional state.Homeopathy works on a principle known as

‘the law of similars’ or ‘like cures like’. This law states that a substance that can cause a disease can also relieve it. For example, coffee is a stimulant that can cause temporary insomnia. Coffea may be used in minute potentised (i.e. homeopathic) doses to relieve that insomnia.Homeopathy can be used effectively by

everyone from babies to adults, including women during pregnancy. It is safe, non-toxic and non-addictive. Homeopathy can be taken alongside drugs prescribed by your doctor and will not interfere with their beneficial action. to find a qualified and registered member

of The Society of Homeopaths look for the initials RSHom after their name. The Society can be contacted on 0845 450 6611. www.homeopathy-soh.org

OVERLEIGH Roundabout readers may know Jim Moffat, who was a ‘Respect - Taking a Stand’ award winner in recognition for his work tackling anti-social behaviour in Westminster Park. He was recently invited to attend a national workshop on the subject and as part of this initiative there was an opportunity to apply for a ‘Small Grant Programme’ of up to £1000 to benefi t a project within the community.The Westminster Park Forum was successful in their bid for a grant and received £621 to support their initiative of an open surgery, held in July, where amongst other things:► residents aired their views on matters of local interest► issues were discussed with Chris Fox, representative from the local police force► a Treasure Hunt with prizes was held for children/families► shed/personal alarms and CCTV were made available for sale and use► the WPF highlighted its current and past programme and received ideas for new activities► initiatives were discussed with members of the ‘Low Carbon Group’► information on the new DeeBee bus service was distributedPart of the grant money will go towards the replacement of the cycle racks outside the shops on Five Ashes Road. The Westminster Park Forum was delighted with the turnout on the day - many residents stopped to talk and air their views and a useful ‘To do’ list has been compiled for the Forum Committee to work on over the coming months.

What time do you have to go to the dentist? Tooth hurty

Most of us suffer - at some point at least - from corns and callouses on our feet . We may soak them in the bath, apply cream to our feet or fi le them away as best we can. We probably don’t realise though that we are getting these thickened skin areas for a reason!As a Podiatrist, I fi nd corn and callous locations of great interest. With the exception of a very tight and uncomfortable pair of shoes you may have worn as a one-off, long term corns and callouses tell me exactly where excess pressure is loading on your feet . This in turn tells me what may be functioning improperly in the way you walk, stand or run .Let me give you some examples...If you have ‘low arches’ or fl at feet, you may have some hard skin (callous) formation on your inner heel area, or in extreme cases towards the heel end of your arch itself (where the ‘Navicular’ bone has lowered and rubbed.If you have an arthritic or ‘stiff’ big toe joint, you may have a corn underneath your big toeIf you have hard skin or callouses in a wide or ‘diffused’ pattern around the middle area of the balls of your feet, you may have a forefoot twist or ‘supinatus’ caused by feet that have rolled-in or ‘pronated’ heavily for many years.If you have corns on the 1st and 5th Metatarsal Heads on the bottom of your foot, you probably have a very high arch with a rigid mid-foot joint.How I can help...The good news is, that we can help in two ways with your corn and hard skin formation.First of all, we can painlessly remove the corns and callouses with a scalpel. This is a routine foot care or Chiropody procedure we carry out dozens of times a week. As we’re removing dead-skin with both corns and callouses, you won’t feel anything, and we can usually remove all hard skin locations on both feet, in the fi rst appointment.Secondly, as a Podiatrist, we can assess your biomechanics and corn/callous locations and give you *Long Term* advice on how to correct your body mechanics to slow down or even prevent hard skin problems in future. This can be as simple as recommending a pair of orthotic insoles to slip in your shoes and functionally control or “re-time” the way you walk and weight-bear.You are welcome to come for treatment by self-referral and self-funding, or you may attend us in line with your private medical insurance policies.For appointments in our clinic please phone Val on 01244 682500. We are based at 137 Hough Green, Chester CH4 8JR.If you would like to phone for a chat with me fi rst - or if you feel your needs would be better placed as a home visit, please call me directly on 07880 702475.

LATE SUMMER IN YOUR GARDENGardening by Janet Heath

SEPTEMBER often provides a blaze of colour before autumn takes hold so if you like bright, bold colours there is a wide range of fl owers to choose from. Shrubs such as Hibiscus syriacus also known as the tree hollyhock because of the shape of their

fl owers, are hardy shrubs with fl owers in white, pink and blue. They fl ower for weeks in autumn. Perovskia Blue Spire is a small shrub with branches of tiny electric blue fl owers. It likes a well-drained soil in sun and provides colour well into autumn. Bright, bold colours for a damp soil why not try Rudbekia fulgida Goldsturm in yellow and

pair it with Lobelia cardinalis with its purple leaved foliage and red fl owers. Heleniums come in a range of red, yellow, orange and russet colours, are good for the back of a border and give colour for a few weeks especially if dead-headed. Japanese anemones are great ground cover with tall or shorter fl owering stems in white or pink. They also fl ower for weeks, well into autumn. Some delphiniums will fl ower again in September if their fi rst fl ush of fl owers were removed after fl owering. You can dig up and split perennials in autumn and as the soil is still warm they should settle in

well before winter. Try to remember to plant daffodils in September (tulips can wait until October) for fl owering next year. Lawn repairs can be carried out in September. If you have bare patches in the lawn or want to

sow a new lawn, September is a good time for sowing grass seed or laying turf. Scarify to remove moss and apply a weed killer to control those tough perennial weeds. Hedges can have their fi nal trim of the year to leave them neat and tidy over winter. Autumn ripening raspberries such as Autumn Bliss and blackberries will now be in season and

taste wonderful. Some early season apples will be ripening so if you want to grow your own dessert apples, consider Egremont Russet, Fiesta, Katy or Greensleeves. They will be ready to eat in September but will not keep for very long, so just pick them from the tree!
