We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Ponthir Community Council will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Ponthir Community Council recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

SPM167100 - Statutory Neonatal Care Pay (SNCP) - general information: What is SNCP?
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


Statutory Neonatal Care Pay (SNCP) can apply to babies born on or after 6 April 2025. It is only available in Great Britain (England, Scotland & Wales). It is not yet available to employees gainfully employed in Northern Ireland.

SNCP is due to qualifying employees and their partner who are parents of a child that is receiving, or has received, neonatal care for an uninterrupted period of at least seven days.

For every 7 full days a baby is receiving neonatal care the employee may accrue one week’s SNCP.

It can apply to birth parents (including those using a surrogate), UK adopters and abroad adopters

A person may receive statutory neonatal care pay—

(a) in a tier 1 period for a single week or for a number of weeks, whether or not consecutively, or

(b) in a tier 2 period for a single week or for a consecutive period of weeks.

All SNCP must be taken within 68 weeks from the baby’s birth.

Employers are responsible for administering the scheme and paying their employees the SNCP to which they are entitled. Legislation sets down when and how SNCP should be paid.

All statutory payments are treated as earnings for income tax and NICs purposes.

Employers can recover some or all of the SNCP paid to their employees in the same way as for SMP.

Policy responsibility for the scheme rests with The Department for Business and Trade (DBT).

OPSS warning on dangerous UPP e-bike batteries
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-27)

Repeat warning to stop using UPP batteries linked to multiple serious fires.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is warning consumers to stop using dangerous models of UPP batteries in their e-bikes. These batteries have been linked to multiple serious fires.

OPSS previously issued a warning about these UPP batteries in January 2024 when it took action to require online marketplaces to stop selling them.

The specific models affected are UPP (Unit Pack Power) U004 and U004-1.

These models should not be used as they are dangerous and can cause a serious fire or explosion that spreads rapidly, and which can lead to serious injury or death.

Read the Product Safety Report on UPP batteries. (https://www.gov.uk/product-safety-alerts-reports-recalls/product-safety-report-upp-battery-e-bike-battery-packs-sold-via-amazon-alibaba-ebay-and-made-in-china-2401-0083)

Owners of e-bikes are advised to take the following steps:
- Check that your e-bike, particularly any second-hand model or e-bike conversion, does not contain UPP battery model U004 or U004-1.
- If it does, stop using it immediately and do not charge the UPP battery.
- Dispose of the UPP battery at any local household recycling centre that accepts this type of battery.
- Contact the seller for redress.
Graham Russell, Chief Executive of OPSS said:

Unsafe e-bikes batteries are still in use around the country. When they are being charged, they can catch fire with horrific force, threatening the lives of those who use them, their families and their neighbours. While OPSS takes action to remove these wherever we can, it is vital that consumers are aware of the risks and that they check that their own e-bike, or any e-bike they see for sale online, does not contain these UPP batteries. If anyone finds one, don’t use it and contact the seller.

The Government advises that consumers should only buy safe e-bikes from reputable sellers, only replace parts with products recommended by the manufacturer and always seek professional help when converting or repairing an e-bike.

Further Government advice is available on the steps you can take to reduce the risk of e-bike fires, as well as a basic checklist for looking after your e-bike or e-scooter.

RFIG30910 - Residence for tax years before 2013-14: particular occupations: what this chapter is about
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-04)


This chapter only applies to tax years up to and including 2012-2013. From 6 April 2013 the Statutory Residence Test (SRT) applies. For guidance on the SRT please see RFIG20000 (https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/residence-and-fig-regime-manual/rfig20000) onwards.

The same rules for residence status apply to every individual; however certain categories of individuals require special attention due to the complexities of their tax affairs.

There are special rules for certain occupations when employees work abroad or hold certain offices. There are some details in the following pages but these are not exhaustive.

Some groups of employees are dealt with in specialist tax offices and where this is the case the office is shown. Where no specialist office is shown individuals should contact their own tax office.
Shropshire farmer to pay nearly £40,000 for slurry pollution
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-06)

A Shropshire farmer has been ordered to pay nearly £40,000 for allowing dairy slurry to pollute a quarry lagoon in a case brought by the Environment Agency.

- Environment Agency investigation ends in successful prosecution
- Quarry owners to receive £18,236.40 in compensation following incident
A sentencing hearing for Philip McDowell, 38, of Willoughbridge Lodge Farm, Willoughbridge, Market Drayton, was held at Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday 5 November 2025.

He had admitted allowing a discharge of dairy slurry into Lordsley Wood Quarry without an environmental permit at a hearing on 14 July 2025.

He was fined £5,300, ordered to pay compensation of £18,236.40 to the quarry owners and £14,430.34 costs to the Environment Agency. He also has to pay a victim’s surcharge of £2,000.

Compensation to quarry owners

The judge ordered the defendant to pay compensation to the quarry owners for the costs they had incurred following the incident. Heidelberg Materials UK Limited said they had not given permission for the discharge.

Lordsley Wood Quarry is part of a regionally significant aquifer and has a water abstraction permit in place.

The court was told that the defendant was a tenant dairy farmer.

The incident

On 8 January 2023, a witness reported to the Environment Agency that he had seen the farmer pumping slurry into the quarry.

Officers went to the site and found that a lagoon contained thick and dirty floating foam which smelled of cattle slurry.

They also observed that the slurry had spread across a significant area of the lagoon.

McDowell attended a voluntary interview under caution. He entered a guilty plea at a hearing in July 2025.

An Environment Agency spokesperson said:

We take pollution incidents very seriously and are committed to protecting our precious water resources.

The successful prosecution of this farmer sends a clear message that we will not tolerate practices that harm the environment.

Slurry pollution can have devastating effects on local ecosystems, and we urge all farmers/landowners to comply with environmental regulations.

If people see environmental incidents, they should call our 24/7 hotline on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

Charge

On 8 January 2023, Philip McDowell caused a groundwater activity, namely a discharge of dairy slurry into Lordsley Wood Quarry, except under, and to the extent authorised by an environmental permit.

Contrary to Regulation 38 (1) (a) and Regulation 12 (1) (b) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales Regulations 2016).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We British Forces Resettlement Services (BFRS) will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
