Happy New Year to everyone. Itssaid that a New Year brings newbeginnings, and that is very true inNeston with the opening of the newagship Sainsburys store. How will itaffect the town centre? Who can tell.Lets hope that it encourages peopleto do their weekly shopping locallyrather than travel up to the Wirral but
the question remains whether thesuperstore will suck trade away fromthe smaller shops.
In this months edition weve got lots ofadverts from the small businesses in thetown, so please give them your support

GET YOUR FREE MONEY
FROM THE GOVERNMENT!
Financial column with Simon utton, rom the Hadlow Edwards Partnership
GOVERNMENs over the lat50 year have encouraged u toave toward our own retirementand be le dependant on thetate by way o incentive inthe way o penion tax relie
Tere are retriction on theamount you can beneft andthi ha changed on numer-ou occaion over theyear and i due to changeagain next April.
Te way relie is granteddepends on how you payyour pension. I you are a
member o an employerscheme at work any pensioncontribution is usually takenrom your salary beore youpay tax and National Insur-ance which means that theamount o your taxable pay isreduced by the level o contribu-tion you have paid.
I you have no company pensionscheme or are sel employed youwill usually have a personal pension plan and tax re-lie is provided by a top up to your contributions. Forexample i you are personally paying 100 per monthby direct debit the amount that would be credited toyour pension scheme would be 125.
I you are a higher rate tax payer then you couldclaim another 25 o tax relie by way o a reundrom Her Majestys Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
which works out as an equivalentincrease in your contributions o
67%. Higher rate tax payers need tobe especially careul to make surethey reclaim the overpayment asHMRC will not automatically payit back.
Some large companies runschemes known as Salary Sacri-ce where employees can giveup some o their wages to makeadditional payments to theirpension scheme. Tis is a very taxecient way o increasing yourpension savings as in addition tothe tax relie you can also save
on National Insurance pay-ments. Small companies can runsimilar schemes or employees orDirectors and i you have an op-portunity to consider this optionor would wish to set a pensionscheme up or your own busi-ness you would be well advised
to look at a Salary Sacrice scheme.
ax relie is one o the ew ways we can get reemoney rom the state and it is well worth takingull advantage o this benet. For example saving300 per month to a pension with 20% tax relie
would mean that over 25 years you would have saved112,500 at a cost o 90,000.
Interest or growth on this additional sum over 25years can boost the saving even urther and make thediference between a comortable retirement and astruggle.

The pine stays green in winter... wisdom in hardship - Norman Douglas
IT was ealy in 2006 that Fiends of
the Sea was fomed by a goup of
people who saw the need to pomote the
education of young seafaes and assist
in the welfae of the eldely, disabled and
those seafaes who ae in need.
Ou success is due to the geneosity
fom the geneal public, commecial
oganisations and fom the effots of the
committee of voluntees, said chaiman
Patsy Dixon, fom Pakgate.
Among the beneciaries, we have
included Sea Cadet units who bought
tents, oas, kayaks, computes, whilst
othes have eceived gants to pay
fo taining events on TS royalist and
donated to the Livepool Seafaes
Cente.
They sponso annually a sailing
chate fo young people selected by
the Meseyside Police/Hoylake Sailing
School poject Chance of a Lifetime
while this yea 4th Heswall St Petes
Sea Scouts eceived a gant towads a
eplacement safety boat. The Maine
Voluntee Sevice was given funds which
enabled them to puchase a 2.9m Dinghy/
Tende; this vessel is now evident in
Albet Dock and used fo the taining of
young people in navigation, boat handling
and geneal seamanship. The goup
have ecently been able to assist the UK
Noth Blind Sailing Association to pomote
the paticipation of blind and patially
sighted people and fund sail taining
oppotunities.
Without the nancial help from Friends
of the Sea, thee ae many young and
disabled people who would not have the
oppotunity to impove and advance thei
maitime education.

January the Start of a neW yearGardeninG by Janet heath
the gardn in Janary can b
og of as a liflss mon,waiing for spring blbs o
sar o bloom b r ar plansa will giv som color.
The winter owering jasmine, Jasminumnudiorum will ower throughout winter whenthe weather is mild with little yellow owers onarching stems. It is easy to propagate as stemsthat touch the ground will form roots so if you
know someone with an established plant youcan beg some stems to start your own shrub.I can be left to grow un-pruned, preferablyagainst a fence or kept trimmed to grow up awall.
Some winter owering heathers (Ericas) willstart to ower now so look out for plants ingarden centres to add colour around the base ofyour winter jasmine. Hebe red Edgeis a good winter evergreen low
shrub with the tips of thebuds turning a deep shadeof deep pink in the coldof winter. It will growto a low dome shapeabout 1m in diameterand 50cmtall.
Coloured bark on trees and shrubs is also very
attractive. If you have space for trees, the silverbirches such as Betula ermanii with creamyivory bark glow in the winter sun. Inter-plantwith coloured stemmed dogwoods such asCornus alba Elegantissima (red stems) orCornus sanguinea Midwinter Fire (orange to redstems) and under-plant these with snowdropsand crocuses for a stunning winter show. Thiscombination would look good in a wide borderlining a drive.
Buy in rst early seed potatoes if you wantto grow new potatoes for early harvesting.Set them in a cool frost free place in the lightto encourage shoots to start growing. Thisis known as chitting your potatoes. Keepnetting over any brassicas to protect them frompigeons. Pigeons can destroy a plant in a day!
Continue to dig over new beds or bordersleaving the soil in lumps to b e
broken down by frost into acrumbly tilth ready forplanting in spring. Put a
layer or garden compostor manure on the topto help improve the
soil structure.
