Welcome Back! Shops Are Open in Topsham Welcome Back! Shops are Open in Topsham WEALTH CHECK July 2020 The government’s Autumn Budget could introduce tax rises to fund the £300 billion* that has been borrowed during the coronavirus pandemic. Income Tax, National Insurance and VAT – amongst the largest sources of government revenue – were ringfenced in the government’s election manifesto, so any increases to these would be politically risky. However, Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax rises, plus the possibility of a new wealth tax, could be in the government’s sights. How would this affect you? At Rodney Spiller Wealth Management Ltd we bring your family’s future plans to life through expert planning, focus and support. It’s a partnership that delivers a clear strategy, helping you and your family get to where you want to go. The levels and bases of taxation, and reliefs from taxation, can change at any time.

However. I Cam finalising risk assessments and working hard to put in preparations so that we can open our two churches, St Margaret’s and St Luke’s, as soon as possible. Please keep a keen eye out for developments which will be posted on A Church Near You at www.achurchnearyou.com/church/8641 (St Margaret’s) and www. achurchnearyou.com/church/8688 (St Luke’s) as well as directly communicated to the wider community and congregations as soon as possible. If, personally, you need to be in a consecrated place sooner than we are able to make available, Exeter Cathedral is now open. Remember though, that God is always with you, wherever you are. Also, that even when the church buildings are closed, the church remains wide open to you - join us as you can or contact me if you need pastoral support. Details on these web pages. Psalm 139 is a wonderful assurance of God’s constant and intimate presence for each of us, at all times, and in all places: O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away. You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Support St Margaret’s Why do we fail to appreciate many things until they are no longer available to us? St Margaret’s has deep symbolic significance to Topsham and the surrounding community and holds the memories of many in Topsham. When it closed many felt a sadness that they could no longer just pop in as they walked by. The Church of England exists for everyone who lives within the borders of the Parish irrespective of their allegiance to or observation of religion. Preparations are being made to open the Church in a limited way. We, like all organisations, have lost revenue during the lockdown. So we are asking the wider community of Topsham to donate to St Margaret’s to ensure that the church that holds so many treasured memories can thrive. Here is the link to the donation platform: https://www.achurchnearyou.com/ church/8641/page/59839/view.

  • Making the Canal Matter Again to Exeter
    Making the Canal Matter Again to Exeter Exeter: A Heritage Harbour Exeter Ship Canal is back on Exeter’s agenda. The Canal and City Basin have been recognised by the National Maritime Trust and National Historic Ships UK as a Heritage Harbour. Exeter is only the fourth historic port in the country to receive this nomination. It is an incentive to bring the canal and basin back to life; and to make this a priority. Making the Canal Matter Again to Exeter is a programme of far-reaching, practical ideas and objectives to release the canal’s potential by improving its attraction to boat owners, local communities, businesses and visitors. Exeter can once more enjoy its maritime traditions. The canal and basin were built so that vessels could navigate from the coast to the heart of Exeter to benefit the city’s economy and culture. There is scope for this to revive significantly if today’s markets and trends are recognised and the opportunity is taken. The Friends of Exeter Ship Canal We are a voluntary group dedicated to breathing new life into the heritage and use of the canal and basin as an integral part of the city’s life and economy, and for the enjoyment of everyone today and in the future. We work closely with the West Country Branch of the Inland Waterways Association. This revival programme for the waterway points the way forward, but is just a start. Heritage Harbour recognition Heritage Harbours are an initiative by the National Maritime Trust and National Historic Ships UK, collaborating with the European Maritime Heritage organisation, to recognise historic ports across the UK and Europe.

  • Infrastructure: Transport Listing Selection Guide Summary
    Infrastructure: Transport Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https:// www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of-selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide assesses structures associated with all forms of transport. The turnpike and canal systems revolutionised road and water travel, and arguably made the Industrial Revolution possible.

    PADDLING TRAIL River Exe and Exeter Ship Canal Loop 1: Exeter Quay to Salmonpool Key Information This is an unusual and pleasant trip right in the centre of a major city, taking a circular route down the River Exe, and back up the Exeter Ship Canal, which was built to enable sailing ships to reach the city centre. It is less than 2 miles long, and gives great views of the city to the east. Start/Finish: Haven Portages: 2 For more Road, Exeter, Devon, Time: 0.5 - 1 hours information scan EX2 8BP Distance: 2 miles the QR code or OS Map: Explorer 114 visit Exeter & The Exe Valley bit.ly/2HapdEd 1. Start at Exeter Quayside (south side). A walkway leads down to the quay where there is a paved area between the river and the canal. Put in on the river and turn right, downstream. 2 . Almost immediately you will come to Trews Weir. I f you would like to avoid the weir, paddle down the canal for about 100m, and carry over to the river below the weir. There are slipways both sides above the weir. 3. The weir is shootable at most water levels. When low a diagonal fish run will provide sufficient depth. Whatever you choose, keep to the right side of the river below it as the weir pool and river are affected by the tide and are an important salmon fishery. 4 . When the river is high beware of the strong stopper and towback , w hich runs most of the length of the weir.

  • Iwa Vision for Sustainable Propulsion on the Inland Waterways
    IWA VISION FOR SUSTAINABLE PROPULSION ON THE INLAND WATERWAYS EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW 1. Recognising the UK Government’s strategy to reduce emissions from diesel and petrol engines, IWA formed its Sustainable Propulsion Group in 2019 to identify and monitor developments which will enable boats on the inland waterways to fully contribute to the Government’s stated aim of zero CO2 emissions by 2050. 2. The Group has identified a number of potential solutions that it recommends should be progressed in order to ensure that boats used on the inland waterways do not get left behind in technological developments. These are outlined in more detail in this paper. 3. To ensure that the inland waterways continue to be sustainable for future generations, and continue to deliver benefits to society and the economy, IWA has concluded that national, devolved and local government should progress the following initiatives: Investment in infrastructure through the installation of 300 shore power mains connection charging sites across the connected inland waterways network. This would improve air quality by reducing the emissions from stoves for heating and engines run for charging batteries, as well as enabling a move towards more boats with electric propulsion. Working with navigation authorities, investment in a national dredging programme across the inland waterways to make propulsion more efficient. This will also have additional environmental benefits on water quality and increasing capacity for flood waters. Research and investment into the production, use and distribution of biofuels. This will be necessary to reduce the environmental impact of existing diesel engines which, given their longevity, will still be around until well after 2050.
