6 House & Home To contact Telephone: 01964 552 470 • Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • www.daltonspire.co.uk A good starting point is to think about how many people you need to fit in your living room on a regular basis. This will help you to choose the right living room furniture. What should I put in my living room? A large family will need a sizeable sofa and a couple of armchairs at least to make sure everyone has somewhere comfortable to sit. If space is tight, beanbags and poufs are a smart way to sneak in extra seating, and can be stowed away easily at times when there are fewer people in the house. If you like to entertain in your living room, it’s a good idea to have a few lightweight side chairs that can be moved into more sociable arrangements when people come to visit. Small side tables or nesting tables are another handy addition, giving guests a place to perch their drinks. How do you set up living room furniture? This depends on the size of your living room and what the room is most commonly used for. Small living rooms may require you to place furniture against the walls to ensure there’s enough space for people to move about without sidling around chairs or banging their shins on the coffee table. Ideally you need at least 50cm between each piece of furniture to allow for optimum traffic flow. If you have a bit more space to play with, bring the furniture away from the walls to create a cosy sitting area. This works especially well in open-plan living spaces, helping to zone the relaxation area from the thoroughfares or dining, cooking and study areas. If the back of your sofa isn’t much to look at, hide it behind a low console table topped with decorative objects. A good rug can also help to zone a living space, making it feel more intimate. Place the front legs of sofas and chairs on the rug, leaving the back legs off, to give mismatched furniture a more unified feel. If your living room is your main TV room, it goes without saying that seating needs to be positioned to give a good view of the television, and that it isn’t so far away that viewers need to squint. Living rooms without a TV give you the freedom to choose a more aesthetically pleasing focal point, whether it’s a period fireplace, an ornate mirror or a statement coffee table. If you do have a TV but don’t want it on show when you’re not watching it, you can always hide it away behind the doors of an attractive TV cabinet. Living room storage ideas Good living room storage is almost as important as a good living room layout. Clutter can build up quickly in a space that’s used by the whole household every day, so it’s important that everything has its right place. A coffee table with drawers or a hidden shelf is perfect for keeping remote controls within reach but out of sight. Footstools that open up to reveal a secret storage compartment are another neat tidying trick, especially in small living rooms. Open shelving is great for books and ornaments, but it’s useful to have some kind of drawer or cupboard storage in your living room as well, where you can tuck away things like laptops and other items that you don’t want on display. Remember to leave plenty of room for any furniture with doors or drawers to open properly. What’s the best way to light a living room? Living rooms are multifunctional spaces, so they need lighting for all the different tasks they need to perform. First, you’ll need a general light source – a ceiling pendant light, for example – that will light the room at darker times of day when the household are milling about. Wall lights and table lamps will give a softer glow when it’s How to plan and decorate your living room

An adjustable reading lamp next to a comfy chair will allow readers to focus on their book without dazzling the rest of the room. A formal, parlour-style living room demands decorative lighting to impress, whether it’s a statement standard lamp or a designer chandelier. You might also consider adding accent lighting, such as a picture light to draw attention to a favourite work of art. It’s a good idea to have at least two electrical circuits for your living room lighting – one for the main light, and one for softer lighting – as well as dimmer switches so you can control the level of light to suit the time of day, task and mood.
8 Food & Drink To contact Telephone: 01964 552 470 • Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • www.daltonspire.co.uk This is a tasty and healthy BBQ recipe to enjoy this Summer. Preparation time 35 mins Total time 4 hours Serves 6 Ingredients FOR THE PORK 2 tbsp of Camp Coffee 6 tbsp of brown sugar ½ tsp of cayenne pepper (leave out if you don’t want it spicy) 1½ tsp of fine sea salt 15 grinds of black pepper ½ tsp of smoked paprika 3 garlic cloves, minced 1.5kg of boneless pork shoulder, skin removed FOR THE SLAW ½ white cabbage, finely sliced ¼ red cabbage, finely sliced 1 small bulb of fennel, finely sliced 125g of mayonnaise Leaves from a few sprigs of coriander (use the stalks in the dressing) Maldon sea salt, to taste FOR THE SLAW DRESSING 1 green jalapeño chilli 10g of fresh ginger, peeled & roughly chopped 10g of garlic cloves, peeled 10g of soft light brown sugar Few coriander stalks, chopped (use the leaves in the slaw) Zest & juice of 1 lime 10g of soy sauce Brioche buns, to serve Method Step 1 For the pork: make the marinade by mixing the Camp Coffee, brown sugar, cayenne, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and garlic in a bowl. Take the pork out of the fridge and place it in a shallow roasting tin. Pat the marinade all over the meat, massaging it in, and leave it for 30 minutes to come to room temperature. Step 2 Turn the oven to 210C fan/ gas mark 5 and cook the pork, uncovered, for 20 minutes, until the top starts to brown a bit. Turn the heat down by half and continue to cook, uncovered, for about 4 hours. If you are using a BBQ, follow the above step and finish over the grill for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Step 3 Meanwhile, start the slaw: lightly salt the cabbage and let it sit for 1 hour in a colander to allow the excess moisture to drain off. Step 4 To make the dressing, grill the chilli in a dry frying pan on a high heat until charred and blistered. Discard the chilli stalk and blitz the flesh with the ginger, garlic, sugar, coriander stalks, lime zest and juice in a blender, drizzling in the soy sauce gradually until emulsified and smooth. Coffee-Rubbed Slow-Roasted Pork With Green Chilli Slaw Step 5 After 4 hours, the meat should be very tender throughout and shred easily with a fork. Carefully transfer the meat to a serving platter, cover with foil and leave to rest. When ready to serve, shred it using ‘bear claws’ or two large forks. Step 6 Finish the slaw: transfer the drained cabbage to a serving bowl and mix in the fennel. Add the mayonnaise, coriander leaves and most of the green chilli dressing. Toss, then season with salt to taste. Add more dressing if you like, then serve. Step 7 If serving in brioche buns, slice the buns in half and butter the insides, filling each with a generous portion of pulled pork and topped with the slaw.

YOUR POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER JONATHAN EVISON I’m pleased to bring you the latest update from my office on the work we are doing to improve community safety in the East Riding. As we progress through the summer months, we welcome the new Mayor of the Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority, Luke Campbell. I am delighted to sit on the board with them and believe together, we can help make our region an outstanding place to live, work and visit. In April, we welcomed the arrival of the new Chief Constable of Humberside Police, Chris Todd. The performance of Humberside Police continues to improve and remains the highest performing force in the country with three outstanding gradings from the independent inspectorate. Our communities deserve the best service, and I will be challenging Mr Todd to continue this trajectory for the force so that the public continue to see sustainable improvements in service. Chief Constable Todd said “I am delighted and hugely honoured to have joined Humberside Police as Chief Constable. I intend to bring consistent, stable and ethical leadership and build on the excellent work that is already being delivered every day across the Humber region. “Through my leadership I will be striving to make Humberside Police an outstanding, globally acclaimed Police Service which is, victim focused, community focused and workforce focused. I would like the communities we serve to have confidence in and be proud of the service they receive from the force.” Please follow us on social media and subscribe to My Community Alert to be notified of the work we are doing in your area. In April, the Home Office announced an additional £200m investment for Neighbourhood Policing available to Police Forces in 2025/26, with Humberside receiving just over £3.2m. This will enable the force to recruit 38 new Neighbourhood Policing Officers. Neighbourhood Policing is vital to the British Policing Model, and I want to make sure it is more accessible to all our communities. Humberside Police proactively shares details of your local neighbourhood team’s priorities and surgery sessions online for those that want to keep up to date on work in their community. As highlighted in the latest independent inspection, Humberside Police already have an effective Neighbourhood Policing model, however we will always welcome initiatives to help us to continue to improve the service provided to our communities. Commissioned by the Humber Violence Prevention Partnership (Humber VPP), Youth Connect is a website for 11-to-18-year-olds who are looking to explore new interests, develop skills and contribute to their community. The platform is part of a strengths-based campaign to encourage young people to take part in positive activities as an alternative to being drawn into crime or violence. The comprehensive directory of activities – including sports clubs, art classes and silent discos – covers Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire. Youth Connect also lists relevant support services so young people have access to any help they may need.

As your Police and Crime Commissioner, I am elected to be your local representative on policing and community safety. It’s my job to work on your behalf to ensure Humberside Police provide an effective and efficient police force and both support and hold the Chief Constable to account for their performance. I am conducting a survey to give you the opportunity to have your say on community safety and help shape policing in your area. The survey should take no more then 10 minutes to complete and is anonymous. Please scan the QR code, or visit www.humberside-pcc.gov.uk/ get-involved/consultations GIVE YOUR SAY ON POLICING Following a successful pilot in 2024/25, I am delighted to announce the extension of the Speed Indicator Devices (SID) Grant Scheme to enable projects to be delivered by the end of March 2026. Grant funding is available to Town and Parish Councils, as well as other voluntary and community sector organisations, to enable the installation of additional Speed Indicator Devices to reduce instances of speeding and improve road safety across North Lincolnshire. SIDs offer a traffic management solution to help reduce vehicle speeds and create safer and cleaner roads. These electric signs display a speed or message when triggered by vehicles travelling at excessive speeds. The scheme can provide up to 50% funding towards the cost of the purchase and installation of a SID. Applications are open on a rolling basis for any scheme that has secured approval from the relevant Local Authority. Together, we can help make our roads safer. For more information on the SIDs Grant Scheme and to access the Application Guidance visit: www.humberside-pcc.gov.uk/funding/ grant-funding/speed-indicator-devices GRANT FUNDING AVAILABLE TO TACKLE SPEEDING HumbersidePCC officeofthepoliceandcrime commissionerforhumberside HumbersidePCC www.humberside-pcc.gov.uk 11
Gardening 12 To contact Telephone: 01964 552 470 • Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • www.daltonspire.co.uk Summer can still throw out a few surprises - make sure tall plants and climbers are well supported in case of bad weather. Water at dusk to reduce evaporation and use mulch to retain moisture around plants. Terracotta pots are prone to evaporation so dampen the pot down to keep roots inside cool and damp. Regularly deadhead bedding and perennial plants to encourage new blooms for as long as possible. In the flower garden Cut back geraniums and delphiniums after the first flush flowers to encourage new growth and further blooms. Cut back faded perennial plants to keep borders tidy. Cutting back growth in hanging baskets can encourage new flowers and foliage and will revive the display. Make sure you feed your baskets well after doing this. Continue to tie in and train new growth on climbing plants. Prune wisteria now. Just remove the whippy side-shoots from the main branch framework to about 20cm from their base (about five leaves from the main stem). Prune lupins to encourage more flowers. Deadhead your roses to keep them looking tidy. Leave the flowers in place if your rose produces attractive hips (seed pods). Deadhead sweet peas regularly to keep them blooming. Water daily in dry weather. In the vegetable garden It’s time to pick your courgettes Regular picking encourages more fruit. Pepper plants will benefit from being potted on into progressively larger pots. Train cucumber stems upwards to make the most of the space available. Simply tie in their long stems to vertical wires or use cane supports to create a wigwam of poles. If you’re growing aubergines, pinch out the growing tip once they have 5 or 6 fruits. Pick fruits while they are young. You can expect to start harvesting mid to late summer. Nip off the growing tips of squash and courgette plants to encourage branching. Pinch out tomato side shoots each week. Cut off any leaves growing below the lowest ripening fruit trusses to improve air circulation and prevent diseases. Boost your tomato crop by regularly feeding plants with dilute tomato fertiliser once a week. If leaves look pale and yellow, feed more regularly. Feed crops with a general purpose fertiliser. Harvest garlic when the tops start to bend over and yellow. Pick runner beans regularly to prevent them becoming stringy and to make room for developing pods. Harvest beetroot, peas, carrots, chard, potatoes, salad leaves, lettuce and tomatoes this month. Resist the temptation to harvest more rhubarb stems. Leave the stems in place; this will allow the plant to build up reserves for next year. Water your fruit and vegetable crops daily in warm weather. Try to ensure that they’re consistently moist. Use grass clippings as a mulch around potato plants to stop tubers near the surface from turning green. Alternatively earth up your potato plants as they grow. If you’re growing potatoes in bags, gradually add more compost until the bag is full. Control slugs to prevent them damaging your crops. Try using a natural pest control to reduce numbers. Tackle blackfly on broad beans by pinching off any affected growing tips. Clear away any diseased and spent foliage on and around your vegetable plants to keep them healthy. Clear weeds regularly, as they compete with your crops for nutrients and water. Gardening Tips for July

Then, in December of 1984, on mission STS-LR9, everything changes in an instant. Tantrum by Rachel Eve Moulton In this electric horror, Thea suspects something is deeply wrong with her newborn daughter – and she’s right.

As Lucia grows rapidly and New Books for July her hunger intensifies, Thea begins to experience disturbing flashbacks from her own childhood. With a devilish glint in her eye, Lucia seems set on devouring the world – and Thea, worn down and mesmerised, might just be willing to let her do it. I Know Where You Buried Your Husband by Marie O’Hare This sharp debut is centred on a group of women who have been friends since school: Sophia, Safa, Ella, Ajola and Caoimhe. When one of them is nearly framed for murder, they bury the evidence, make a pact and go their separate ways. Years later, an anonymous blackmailer threatens to reveal their secret. Forced to reunite, they must get their stories straight and uncover who is tormenting them. But as tensions rise, they wonder: is it already too late to save themselves? Albion by Anna Hope When family members fight over the legacy of their inherited country estate, all hell breaks loose in this Succession-meets-Saltburn novel from British writer Anna Hope. The Brookes gather in their ancestral home to bury Philip, the head of the family.

Isa has long suspected that her father thought only of himself, and only hopes to seek out her childhood love, who still lives on the estate, to discover what her marriage is lacking. Then there’s Claram who arrives in their midst from America, shrouded in secrets, and bearing a truth that will shatter all their hopes and dreams. All the books in this feature are on sale now.
