@KirstieMAllsopp @WolfieWhittle someone I know signed their property over (albeit to a trust rather than family) with a legal agreement that they could stay in their home for the duration of their life at a nominal rent of £1/yr to avoid huge inheritance tax liabilities from which there was no exemption!

[M Cotton | Architecture & Design Services @the_marchitect]

@KirstieMAllsopp @WolfieWhittle @KirstieMAllsopp what do they do now when they can no longer physically work on the farm? I doubt they get sent to the abattoir!

Again, the issue here is ownership not occupancy.

[M Cotton | Architecture & Design Services @the_marchitect]

@KirstieMAllsopp Yes but transferring the legal title to a farm to their children doesn’t prevent them continuing to live on the farm and/or run the farm - it’s about ownership not operation!

Lots of the farmers I’ve seen being interviewed appear to already be working the farm with their kids!

@Jeremy_Hunt Surely this is an opportunity for Farmers to start thinking about succession planning (assets gifted 7years B4 death are exempted from Inheritance tax)?

I’d much rather have a planned handover than taking on a business whilst also dealing with the grief of losing a parent! 🤷🏼

Manager wanted! After a great season our Ladies Squad are looking 4 a new manager/coach 4 this coming season.

Experience of managing a women’s side (16+) preferred but not essential, especially if U R looking to step up from youth football!

If you’re interested drop us a line!

[Buntingford Town FC @BuntTownFC]

Please share so our friendly growing team can continue to thrive next season 💪⚽️🖤💛

@EppingFC_ @Sav_F Good luck @Sav_F !

@Herts_Highways But no bins to be seen anywhere!!

@yourharlow The photo was obviously taken before the meeting got going and the empty chairs with their backs to the camera are for public speakers not committee members.

[M Cotton | Architecture & Design Services @the_marchitect]

@Jeremy_Hunt But surely, unless we enter a period of deflation, the damage is already done?

[M Cotton | Architecture & Design Services @the_marchitect]

@BDonline What nonsense - most of the sites he’s talking about have never been anywhere near an architects drawing board!!!

@uptownclub @yourharlow @myharlow @NewsHarlow @harlowstories I’ll be more impressed when they get around to actually building something rather than just knocking stuff down! At this rate there won’t be a Town Centre, just a parking lot!

It's not just Brazil who can score four - Buntingford Town Ladies managed that at the weekend with a dominant performance against Bury Rangers....why not take a look at the highlights before today's #WorldCup2022 games?

Before our game on Saturday, we were pleased to welcome Mayor Wallace to The Bury to open our new dugouts, funded by @BuntingfordTC

The Club are very grateful to the Town Council for their continued support and look forward to working together to promote adult football in Bunt!
