A Word From Your MP......................... On Sunday 9th November the annual remembrance service
will take place in Wolverhampton. This year of course will be of particular importance as it will mark 100 years since the outbreak of the First World War. I gave a speech on remembrance last year in the House of Commons and would be grateful if I could share with you some of what I said then about Wolverhampton’s contribution to such a tragic conflict. At the outbreak of war in 1914, as was echoed across the country, many men enthusiastically flocked to the town hall to sign up, eager to help the national effort in a war they believed would be “over by Christmas”. As a bustling industrial town, Wolverhampton made a significant contribution to the provision of resources for the front line. Villiers Engineering Company produced ammunition, and Guy Motors became the largest manufacturer of firing mechanisms for depth charges in the country. H. M. Hobson Ltd manufactured carburettors for engines, and the Sunbeam Motor Car Company produced staff cars and commercial vehicles for the military, ambulances for the Red Cross and engines for aircraft and high-speed naval craft. The Villiers Engineering Company and its Sunbeam motor manufacturing unit, which was on Upper Villiers Street, is now a Sikh temple, of which I am a trustee.In 1919 the local authority established a war memorial committee to create a roll of remembrance to honour over 1,700 men from Wolverhampton who left home to fight but never returned. Amongst the great loss Wolverhampton suffered and the contributions that many made, one individual in particular always sticks out in my mind. Douglas Morris Harris was a wireless telegrapher on board an Italian drifter, the Floandi, which was being used to blockade the port of Kotor and prevent the Austrian navy accessing the Adriatic sea. In May 1917 the drifter was attacked by the Austrians, but Harris remained dutifully at his post and unfortunately lost his life at the age of just 19. For his bravery he was awarded one of Italy’s highest honours, and his bust still stands proudly in the grounds of St Peter’s church in the City Centre today, adjacent to the cenotaph, which I have the pleasure of being able to see from my constituency office window.On Sunday I will be standing at that cenotaph with veterans of previous conflicts, to honour the gallantry, bravery and sacrifice of all those who have laid down their lives so that we can enjoy our freedom. I write now as I said then, I hope that we will never neglect our duties in remembering them.

Grand Theatre PerformanceNovember 9th & 23rd 2014 will see some fabulous dancing and wonderful costumes from the Suttie School of Dance in their annual display at the Grand Theatre Wolverhampton. All
ages will take part from the youngsters of 3 to the adult tappers in a variety of routines in ballet, tap, acrobatics, disco, and musical comedy. The Suttie School of Dance was formed in 1976, as part of the MASD association, by Carol who still teaches today together with teachers Amy Suttie, Charlotte Doyle, Jennifer Thelwell and other helpers. Classes are on a Saturday for the younger pupils at Holy Cross Church hall in Bilbrook and each year pupils take examinations (the school has 100% success rate) and take part in the show at the Grand Theatre. Carol makes all of the stunning costumes for the dancers and that is some task with the number of pupils involved. Tickets are available from the Suttie School of Dance or on the nights of the performances at the Grand Theatre itself.
For more information call Carol on 01902 398710 or email [email protected] can also check out the website at

Christmas Trees galore!Christmas Tree Festival

Once again St. Nicholas’ Church in Codsall is holding a Christmas Tree Festival, and this year it’s going to be bigger and better than ever. There will be many trees, decorated by many different groups from the village - and we can expect a wide range of styles. The Vicar of St. Nicholas, Revd Simon Witcombe, said, ‘It’s always wonderful to see all the trees, as well as enjoying live music, something seasonal to eat and that special feeling as we come up to Christmas. I’ve heard about the ideas for some of the trees and I can’t wait to see them!’Homemade seasonal refreshments will be served throughout the weekend.
Opening times: Friday 2-7pm, Sat Noon-5pm, Sunday 1pm -5pm.

LANDLORDS is your property ready for winter? ......LANDLORDS is your property ready for winter? ...... Autumnal weather is well and truly upon us and now is an ideal time to ensure your rental properties are ‘fit for purpose’ as the weather gets colder. Follow our tips below to ensure your property is in peak condition in time for the winter months.Carry out a boiler service: When was the last time you had the boiler serviced in your rental property? Regular gas checks are essential as part of your tenancy agreement. If you’ve neglected this mandatory part of your obligations as a landlord, now is the perfect time to service the boiler and any other gas appliances in your property. For landlords who carry out mid-term inspections or who let their properties through a reputable estate agent this should be routine. Our advice is, don’t delay – have you ever attempted to secure the services of a gas engineer during a cold snap?Check all pipes and guttering: All pipes and guttering should be thoroughly secured to the walls and, together with brickwork, checked for leaks, fractures and blockages. Leaking pipes may freeze and burst during the winter months and in this case prevention is certainly better than cure.Pay attention to bathrooms: From our experience of property management at Redstones, we know that bathrooms can often suffer from excessive condensation and damp, resulting in loose or cracked tiles which lead to leaks and water damage. Check bathrooms thoroughly for any telltale signs and rectify any potential problems immediately.Carry out regular checks if your property is empty: ‘Void’ periods – the times when your property does not have a tenant – during autumn and winter months mean that you must pay extra attention to your property. Carry out regular visits and checks to ensure your property is secure and your heating is working properly. If you are struggling to find a suitable tenant, consider contacting a reputable lettings agent who specialises in your local area and can help you to find a tenant quickly.Insulate your property: With all landlords required to provide EPCs (Energy Performance Certificates) on their rental properties, insulation is essential. Check the cladding around your pipes and boiler, ensure that your taps aren’t leaking and seal windows and doors with appropriate draft excluders.Keep your tenants fully informed: While the maintenance of your property is your responsibility as a landlord, it is worth investing some time putting together an information pack for your tenants. Include advice on operating the boiler, locating stopcocks and ensuring heating is on if they are away during the cold weather. With the arrival of darker nights, it is also vital to ensure your property is thoroughly secured with deadlocks and burglar alarms.Carry out tests on smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors: While these should form part of your regular inspections, with colder weather approaching, it is essential to ensure that your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are fully functional.Make sure your insurance policy is up-to-date: Insurance can be a grey area for many landlords as maintenance issues aren’t always covered by landlord policies. For your peace of mind, Redstones Financial Services provides a full range of financial services.Make your life easier. With Redstones fully managed option you know your property is in safe hands. - Updesh Gidda MARLA MAIPI Redstones Wolverhampton – Sales, Lettings, Property Management & Auctions T: 01902 504455 M: 07528 365365
