Cemetery clean up
COunCIL accountants have made a real difference to Chesters Overleigh Cemetery in Handbridge. The Financial Management staff removed vegetation from memorial stones, undertook a general tidy up, and carried out a leaf and litter collection. Also there on the day were staff from the Cemeteries and Crematorium Service and Streetscene. In addition a local memorial mason was also on hand and local historian Len Morgan gave a talk to the volunteers on the history of the cemetery. Handbridge Park Councillor neil Sullivan said: The eighteen-strong group worked really hard and made a real difference to Overleigh Cemetery. Volunteers are continuing to undertake a great deal of work at Overleigh Cemetery and the latest was a prime example of what can be achieved.

Recent spate of Bike Thefts in the Handbridge area particularly at West Cheshire College. Incidents of anti social behaviour reported within Edgars Field, particularly after school hours. Plans to address the issue PCSO Pendrey and her colleagues from the Chester Outer neighbourhood Policing Team to provide regular high vis patrols at the college and surrounding areas. Bike etching sessions are due to take place over the coming weeks. PCSO Pendrey has been working closely with the Community Safety Wardens who have provided extra patrols within Edgars Field over recent weeks. These patrols will continue to take place until the issues raised have been resolved. Local Priorities You said - Parking problems causing congestion outside Schools in the Overleigh and Westminister Park areas, normally as a consequence of school pick ups and drop offs. We did PCSO Pendrey and PCSO Fox have been working together distributing parking leaflets around the schools offering advice for parents on where and how to park safely. Handbridge beat meeting Monday 12th December 11am-12noon, at The Old Dee Bridge, (opposite The Ship Inn).
If you have any questions or see me on patrol please feel free to stop and chat or alternatively contact either myself on 0845 458 6375 or by e-mail at joanne.pendrey@cheshire.pnn.police.uk

WINTER SOLUTIONS
ALTHOUGH we have experienced record warm temperatures for October and November this year, its never too early to prepare the skin for the winter months when the body has to adapt to central heating indoors and freezing weather outside.
We have to protect the body and the skin from dehydration. Drinking plenty of water is essential, particularly during the party season when we may be drinking more alcoholic drinks which can cause dehydration to the body. Exfoliation is essential during the winter months to help remove the dry skin from the surface. Your moisturiser will also work more effectively instead of just softening the dry, dead cells on the surface. Try to exfoliate the skin two to three times a week and then follow with your moisturiser. A nourishing moisturising

Skincare advice with Jane Bryant, from the Hough Green Clinic
face mask can be applied once a week. Some light moisturising masks can be left on overnight for maximum effect. However, remember to wash it off before confronting the family in the morning! A professional in salon peel is excellent for promoting the production of moisture deep in the dermis. A PRIORI(R) Advanced AHA Peel will intensely increase hydration by 100% in just four weeks and the increase of exfoliation will improve in one two weeks if used in conjunction with the home care products. Samantha and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy Christmas. We look forward to the New Year with great anticipation when we are sure Jo Lewis, scientist and creator of PRIORI(R), will excite us with even more innovative new products. This years PRIORI(R) Lash Recovery Serum has been very exciting. My eyelashes are now as thick and as long as they were in my teens! You just have to apply it at bedtime every night and after two weeks you will see an improvement, and within six weeks they look amazing! As we age our lashes and brows diminish as does the condition of the hair. My thinning eyebrows are much improved too and the areas where there were gaps now have hairs growing again. There are positive results for people who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy treatment. Application of the Lash Recovery Serum after they have completed their treatment has helped to accelerate the new growth of their eyelashes and eyebrows.

DeCeMber CoLour
www.overleighroundabout.co.uk
deCeMbeR is a quiet time of year when there is little colour in the garden and the remains of brown foliage is the dominant feature. if possible, try to design your garden so that there is an area of winter colour visible from a frequently used window and also at the entrance to the house. This will give you some cheering colour in the depths of winter. Cyclamen have lovely marbled green leaves which contrast well with the golden and green foliage of evergreen shrubs such as Elaeagnus x ebbingei Limelight or the yellow leaved Choisya ternata Sundance. Plant some around the shrub for winter interest and add some small daffodils and crocuses for colour in February. Enjoy the beauty of frost on the leaves of plants such as the robust purple leaved Heucheras, holly or the indestructible Euphorbia robbiae. If you want scent in winter I recommend the winter box, Sarcococca hookeriana or confusa varieties. These unassuming little shrubs have evergreen foliage and highly scented tiny white flowers in winter so put a couple near your door or in an 64
