megilleland Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just come back and several snippets of information. Cllr Powell tells me that what I have read in the Hereford Times is untrue about the involvement of the council in helping to set up the university. The Council only gave the University the go ahead two days ago and the assets referred to are not for sale (as of yet - my words). Meanwhile the litter situation is not going to improve as we are expected to pick it all up ourselves says Cllr Nicholls. This was after telling us how important tourism is. And Mike Wilmott mentioned Guy Taylor in a conversation about neighbourhood planning. However it was nice to see many of our councillors out tonight. I am sure it thrilled the twitchers.

megilleland Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hereford Civic Society event The Farrell Review - One Year On Thursday 16th April - 7.30 pm start (refreshments from 7pm). The Kindle Centre by Asda, Belmont, Hereford HR2 7JE The line-up of expertise to take us through this discussion includes Charles Campion from John Thompson & Partners, who is overseeing the Collaborative Planning Process for the local Three Elms housing development and Paul Fong of the Gloucester Design Panel, who will inspire us about the workings of his Group. We will also have an update from Max Farrell, hopefully in person, with other interesting contributors in the pipeline. Check HCS website for latest on this. We look forward to seeing you on the night, and do get in touch beforehand if you have a particular interest in this subject. HCS Members free admission. Visitors £3 each, refunded if you join HCS on the night. What is the Farrell Review? This Review is a snapshot in time. It is a broad and independent review of our collective efforts to plan and design our future built environment which in turn shapes the way we live our lives. Explore their conclusions World-class British architect, Sir Terry Farrell, has proposed that every town and city should have an Urban Room – a space in which local people can learn about the built environment. It would be a good idea if Hereford established a similar space - maybe where the burnt out buildings in High Town are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
