    West Coast

    IT was great to visit the Coronation Gardens

    Fair last month to see the progress made. Itwas previously known as a dog toilet but hasbeen tidied up brilliantly by a group o tirelessvolunteers. During the summer the gardens willbe holding a number o Art in the Park eventsto promote local artists work. Weve got pictures

    rom the event on pages 12&13.In this summer edition weve also got pictures

    rom the ofcial opening o the extension at StBridgets Co E School and the celebration eventor MP Esther McVey.

    As or West Coast, we are taking a break orAugust but will see you again in September.Have a great summer and please support yourlocal businesses.

    You never

    Financial column with Simon utton,rom the Hadlow Edwards Partnership

    H ow many times d e say these rds ith-ut really thinking ab ut the c nsequences f hat is ar und the c rner? It might be great ne s a ne baby r even a in n the l ttery.But sometimes, without warning, li e throws the

    unthinkable at us. Many o us will know people whohave died young or su ered a li e changing illness and we all hope it will never happen to us. A long-termillness or injury can be li e changing and the nancialconsequences can be devastating or our amilies andus.Survival rates or some serious cancers have im-

    proved dramatically over the last 10 years with over80% emale breast cancer su erers and around 70%o prostate cancer su erers still alive a ter 5 years source: National Statistics Online April 2009 period2001-2007. However, many o these su erers wouldnot able to return to work ull time.I this were to happen to you, ask yoursel the ollow-

    ing questions.- How long would my nances last?- What will I get rom the state?- How long will I get paid at work?Details o sta sickness terms can usually be ound

    in a sta handbook or contract and you can nd outabout sick pay entitlement at www.entitledto.co.uk,

    www.direct.gov.co.uk will also explain about the statebene t availability and how long it is paid or. Tesebene ts will only provide minimal income sufcientto maintain a basic standard o living, but are unlikely to replace lost salary.

    Income Protection Insurance (IRP) can provide atop up to state bene ts by providing a regular incomeon diagnosis o an illness or injury that keeps you o work or a signi cant period. Tese plans provide atax- ree income o between 50% and 60% o yourincome, paid monthly, either until you return to work or retire. Usually plans have a de erred period be orethe bene t starts to be paid out, which matches the

    length o time you continue to be paid. For example,i you are entitled to six months pay then an IRPpolicy would start paying out a ter the six monthsperiod is up.Its important that the right plan is taken out to suit

    your circumstances, as there are di erent optionsavailable in the market. A ull review o your needs inthis area with a quali ed Financial Adviser would beessential to ensure you end up with the correct cover.
