Planning matters With the slow down in the economy there is almost certainly going to be a slow down in developments in Dore for some time, after the frenzied building during the past few years. There are, however, some significant planning applications in the pipeline. A major application is for development at 79 Dore Road (the white house in large grounds on the south side of Dore Road between Ashfurlong Road and Thornsett Gardens). The plans show 18 houses on the front part of the site. An application for five houses on another part of the site, to the rear, was refused earlier in the summer and has currently gone to appeal. The new application plans show houses Dore village greens fronting onto Dore Road and a cul-de-sac extending into the centre of the site. If you have had cause to walk along Fronting this there are a series of three Church Lane during the last month, you storey terrace town houses.

They were called Johnson and William.

You know you had to lean out didn’t you? I always had to get somebody to help me or I thought I’d get stuck on the train.

Some financial commentators already argue that it will take many years for confidence in the banking system to return. As the Prime Minister said recently, “The greatest asset of all, and the one that has been missing in the last few weeks, is confidence itself.” But does this mean that it will take years for confidence in the property market to return? The economic system may well require confidence but life is a different matter. Most people’s lives, while affected by the economy, are not dominated by it. Babies will still be born, people will marry or co-habit, divorce or break up, retire and, sadly, die. People will lose their jobs Every sign of a slowdown in the local paucity will create high demand and, in or get other jobs - sometimes in other property market. turn, a stronger housing market.

We have to reduce the every little change helps. for you?

Cook in pans with lids on and only fill the kettle with the amount of water you need to boil. Get into the habit of taking bags with you for shopping. Try to reuse things, for example bread bags can become sandwich bags that can then go on to be used to clean up when taking the dog for a walk. Some of the changes also have health benefits and are fun. Try to walk or cycle rather than using the car every time. Its very hard at first when there is a car sitting on the drive, but once into the habit of walking, cycling or chatting to new friends on the bus, (or even waiting at the bus stop for the unreliable 30!) it becomes the first option and the car gets used only when vital. One measure that is often overlooked is the impact of diet on climate change. Being vegetarian is even better in terms of reducing your carbon footprint than not having a car. Of course this doesn’t mean that everyone has to stop eating animal products altogether but a conscious decision to make some meals free of animal products would make a difference and bring animal welfare benefits too. Sometimes the change is simple, for example falafels in place of meatballs with spaghetti. If you do eat animal products, support British farmers and try to shop for local products, ask for local products to be sourced by the big supermarkets. Changing the way you live need not be uncomfortable or difficult, and it can be fun and healthy. Some people measure their carbon footprint every six months and try to reduce the emissions they are responsible for each time... quite an interesting challenge! Why not write in to this magazine with your questions and suggestions. We all need encouragement and inspiration about how together we tackle this problem. Your grandchildren may one day ask, “What did you do to tackle the global warming crisis”?

The cost of motoring has risen by a fifth in the past year because of high fuel prices and the falling resale values of cars, according to the RAC. Taking all costs into account, including financing, depreciation and insurance, the average annual cost has gone up from £5,133 to £6,133, with the average weekly cost up from £98.71 to £117.94. 16 KK_K_\_\EEff%(::__f``ZZZ\\]fiGif]\jj`feXcj]]ffi GGiiiff]]\\\jjjjjj```ffeXccjj
