15 year plan for Herefordshire leaked.
Taken from BBC Hereford & Worcester
What do you think?
BBC Hereford & Worcester can reveal a 15 year plan to spend hundreds of millions of pounds changing the face of Herefordshire.
The proposals contained in a leaked document, include creating a new riverside area in Hereford and multi story car parks on the city's outskirts. Proposals also see plans to build a hotel at the racecourse and to approach businesses to build accommodation for thousands of students.
Charity - Support the Heroes ordered to suspend fundraising?
I have posted this because this "Charity " SUPPORT THE HEROES set up their stall outside Laula Ashley Maylord / Commercial Road Hereford selling Draw tickets for £2.50 each . It is a UK Draw so you can imagine how many tickets are sold .The person manning the Stand takes 33% commission , paid in cash . The Draw is every two months and the first prize is a TV !
The last time they submitted their accounts to the Charity Commission they reported MONEY IN £548,440 MONEY TO WORTHY CAUSES £15.153 , the experts say that is 3% .
Going on from that there is a local connection to these Charity Organisers - you will recall that William ALDRIDGE was the youngest Soldier killed in Afgan. The same week 7 other members of our Armed Forces were also killed in Afgan. A short time later the mothers of these young lads and ladies got together and formed AFGAN HEROES , for the first two years they were really positive and raised over £2million . Then a man called Tony Chadwick got involved with his Company, Prize Promotions Ltd. of Blackpool selling Draw tickets , it then went all downhill and he declared himself bankrupt.
He then set up another Company with a friend called SUPPORT THE HEROES - using a Company called Targeted Managements. Now the Charity Commission are looking into that Company
To my simple mind I think that the Charity Commission are toothless tigers - the Military Charity I am involved with have been complaining about Support the Heroes for at least two years to no avail.
The Charity Commission are also looking into a new Charity " Our Local Heroes Foundation " who's fundraising is managed by Target Management and Tony Chadwick has a finger in the pie !

M&S under threat
Article in the Daily Wail today suggesting that M&S could be on a hit list of closures. To quote the paper:
(extracts)Stores which are vulnerable because the town centre is already in serious decline include Blackpool, Bolton, Boston, Hereford, Mansfield, Stoke and Sunderland.M&S has not yet named the stores set for closure, which means thousands of workers are waiting to know if their store will go.However, experts at the Local Data Company have compiled a list of areas that it thinks are vulnerable.This list is not from M&S and it does not mean the stores involved form part of the official closure programme.M&S said: ‘We are very disappointed that anyone would choose to speculate in this way. This list is not based on any M&S data and we have not published any locations. What we have done is outlined plans to improve our store estate over the next five years which include opening 200 new Food stores and selling Clothing and Home from 60 fewer stores.’
Doesn't give much confidence. I suppose when the Council and Balfour Beatty start digging up High Town in front of the store and close more roads into the city - it will be the final nail in their coffin.
Our Beautiful Cathedral
Remembrance Day Hereford Sunday 13th of November 2016
Was it me or was there more of us today?
Standing,watching,placing themselves in that position that matches their expectations.
Why are they here?
Memories of someone special,respect perhaps for a past love that drives and eternal flame between then and now.
What of this group reflection?
Well it is a moment,a quiet special moment, but a moment in the company of others and not in isolation.
Will it always be the same?
It will grow, evolve and flourish I'm sure. For as people we look to the future as well as the past.Although it is a secret,private and mindful conversation we think of our children, and we, the worry well, worry for sure.Our public parent face needs to show courage and positivity in front of our children but please be sure to mind your own well-being and share a conversation for this will mean that you are not alone in your own fears and concerns.

Trump the New President of the USA
I would like to write a story about this but I can't.
Whether you want to preserve our little county to traditions of the past or bring it into the globalisation that has caused so much distress well fear now. If you don't do films or gaming I'm sorry but a synergy with Fight Club or perhaps Call of Duty.
All the key Captains are now in place...if you have a God well you'd better get in touch.
It's been an incredible 18 months in many ways. .....we have a real problem now.
Argos Opening at Sainsbury's Hereford
Argos are opening a click and collect in Sainsbury's Hereford.
Unfortunately this will be at the demise of their store in high town. Argos main store has been under threat of closure for some time now and the the store in Hereford I am informed will probably close next year.
Hopefully most of the staff will be offered jobs at Sainsbury's but this threatened closure is not good news for the city centre.
