that, although the majority of Brits (67%) currently live with only their immediate family - such as their partner and/or chil­ dren - this could well change in the future. The research also examined the top reasons for doing so, with almost half (43%) stating they would be likely to buy a larger home or extend their property in order to take .care of their parents or in-laws. Others (31%) said they thought it would make financial sense to do so and around one in ten (11%) because they.actively want as many family-members living under one roof as possible. Despite these findings, more


than three-quarters (76%) of respondents thought there was a


' social stigma attached to people over 30 who still live with their parents. Worryingly, more than a third (37%) of those questioned did not know if their home con­ tents insurance would cover all of their.family’s possessions in the event of them living under the same roof. ‘ Head of Undera/riting at Hali­


fax Home Insurance, David Rochester, said: “The current economic and social climate in Britain is showing a shift towards several generations living togeth­ er under one roof. “This is something that used to


be relatively common in the past. More recent years have seen an increase in independence and people moving away from this trend, however, changing finan­ cial pressures, plus the desire to look after the family and enjoy having them around, seems to be showing a shift towards multi­ generation households again.” Halifax Home Insurance rec-


■ ommends those changing the number of people living in the family home should tell their home insurance company at the earliest oppottunity, and also check whether any additional high value'or high risk items such as jewellery and electrical items need to be added to the policy.

Good Life is the way forward


fessor of Food Policy at City University, is how to fend off the worst effects of the mas­ sive food crisis that he pre­ dicts is coming our way. Prof. Lang, the man who first used the phrase “food miles”, predicts that rising fuel costs, climate change, water shortages and popula­ tion pressure will ultimately lead to a worldwide food cri­ sis. He wants everyone to start growing food in their • private gardens, allotments and even in parks and pub­ lic spaces, not unlike the “Dig for Victoiy’ campaign of the Second World War. However, this.self-suffi­


ciency “Good Life” approach is only part of the solution, according to the Country Land and Business Associa­ tion (CLA). Reacting to Prof.


FIRST-time buyers in nib­ ble Valley can gain.a foot on the property-ladder thanks to an innovative housing scheme from Plumlife, part of the Great Places Housing Group. Backed by Ribble Valley


Borough Council, the new development in Mitchell Street, .Clitheroe, offers would-be first time buyers a chance to climb on to the property ladder. Already gen­ erating significant interest, the launch of the brand new Ciyder Park show home this month quickly led to a reser­ vation and numerous sales inquiries. Sixteen two-bedroomed apartments are up for grabs at


Ciyder Park, on a shared ownership basis with housing association Great Places and home ownership company Plumlife. The apartments start from


just £44,625 for a 35% per cent share, with £146.10 rent on the rest of the property. They have been built with


first-time buyers, local resi­ dents, key workers, people in rented accommodation and those on Ribble Valley Bor­ ough Council’s affordable housing waiting list in mind. Matthew Harrison, deputy


chief executive of Plumlife, said: “First time buyers are struggling to secure a foothold in the property market and the Ciyder Park development will give local people the opportu­


nity to take their first steps onto the ladder. The shared ownership scheme also gives home owners the opportunity to ‘staircase’ after 12 months, offering them the chance to buy the remaining share of the property -


either in stages


or in a single lump payment.” Rachael Stott, Ribble Valley


Borough Council’s housing strategy officer, said: “Young people with long histories in Ribble Valley cannot afford to live in the area, because house prices are so high, and key workers, such as nurses and teachers, are also being priced out of the market. “Affordable housing is a


pressing problem in Ribble Valley and the council has worked closely.with Great


Places and Plumlife to bring this scheme to fruition”. Ribble Valley property


prices have seen a 100 per cent hike since 2001, where­ as incomes have risen by just nine per cent. A two-bed­ roomed terrace in a typical Ribble Valley village now costs up to £170,000 - almost 50 per cent more than the price of similar houses in East Lancashire and around £4,000 more expensive than their South East equivalent. A single person now needs an income of around £50,000 to purchase a property in Ribble Valley. Further details are available

■ Lang’s statement, Douglas Chalmers, Director CLA North, said it would be a start, but nowhere near enough.- ■ ‘This is a fine sentiment,”


said Mr Chalmers. "What food could be more trace­ able than that grown by yourself, but not everyone has enough space or time to do this. I agree with Profes-: sor Lang - Britain should


■grow more at home, but another way we can all help is by ensuring that we have a sustainable agricultural and horticultural industry. “Our farmers and land


managers are competing with imports, rising costs, increasing legislation and poor weather conditions, and this at a time when we should all be giving serious consideration to where our food will come from in the future. “Yes, we can grow some


in our gardens, -but the sim-, pie fact is that if we want food we need farmers. “If ever there was a time to


ARE your new “digs”-giving you a headache? The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is warning anyone moving into a new home - especially stu­ dents moving into rented digs - to be aware of flu-like symp­ toms that might be the first signs of exposure to poison­ ous gas. Experts say the initial effects


of carbon monoxide (CO) poi­ soning are similar to those of flu, and students living in rent­ ed accommodation are a high- risk group. Around 20 people are killed


every year by fumes given out by household gas appliances, yet the HSE believes two- thirds would have survived if a competent CORGI-registered- installer had serviced the. offending appliances in the


previous year. HSE North West Head of


Operations. David Sowerby said: “When fuels like gas, coal, wood or oil don’t burn properly carbon monoxide is produced, which is poisonous. You can't see, taste oj: smell carbon monoxide, but it can kill without warning, often in just a matter of hours. “Carbon monoxide doesn't


know that you were going to get the boiler replaced next week or perhaps that children sleep in the bedroom where the boiler will emit its CO. It will take anyone it can without warning,young, old, rich or poor.” Lee Bradshaw, campaigns


' officer at the University of Central Lancashire Students' Union, said: ‘We all know stu­ dents are more susceptible to colds and flu, but we all have


- to be making sure that it is not something a lot more serious. -.


“Ask your-landlord to see


copies of all the CORGI-regis­ tered appliances in your house. Make sure they match up, are up-to-date and, if you are going to take your own appliances into your student houses, make sure you get them checked as well. This is a silent but completely pre­ ventable killer if we all take the right steps to protect our­ selves. Ask your landlord for a CO detector to detect the problem early.” David Sowerby added:-,


“Landlords are responsible for ensuring that the gas appli­ ances they own are main­ tained and they must be checked for safety at least once a year. A record of safety checks must be kept and a: copy given to existing tenants and any new tenant.before they move in. As'a tenant, if


you own the gas appliance it is your responsibility to have them checked. “All CORGI-registered gas installers carry an identity card


■. which tells you which types of appliances they are qualified to work on. If you are present when they call, always ask to see the card to.check the installer is CORGI-registered. The reverse of the card details the type of appliances that installer is trained to work on. “And remember a good sup­


ply of fresh air is essential. Do not block off air-bricks or venti­ lation without first seeking pro-: fessional advice or allow oth­ ers such as builders and dou­ ble glazing firms to do so inad­ vertently.”
