Welcome
Welcome to our April edition; another jam-packed 100 pages. We’ve certainly been kept busy over the last few weeks, and perhaps it’s all to do with the lighter nights and promise of sunnier days, but there’s definitely an air of optimism despite all the turmoil in the financial
markets.
Financial market confidence is a fragile thing and I guess most readers will be
watching the news closely. It goes without saying that financial institutions
will want to hold on to as much cash as they can to maintain liquidity and this
will inevitably affect how much banks are willing to loan to individuals.
Without sounding too unkind though, this will most likely impact on the less
affluent- those who either aspire to, or have just achieved, homeownership,
rather than readers of Yorkshire Today.
While there will, no doubt, be bargains to be had, readers will be disappointed
if they think they’ll be able to pop out and snap up any cut price luxury cars or country homes
just yet! In fact it is all the more likely that, as anxieties over
redundancies and house prices in London grow, we will see more and more
individuals looking to Yorkshire as a safe haven to relocate.
Personally, I can think of no better place to live than Yorkshire with its
magnificent scenery and unrivalled beauty, not to mention the world-class
shopping, leisure facilities and diverse year-round entertainment. Once again,
our latest issue is packed with such examples; a true showcase of our wonderful
county and a reminder, if ever we needed it, of the life and style of our
county in springtime.
Good reading, as always…
