Clean for the Queen
New Hereford Wards?
Can someone please explain what the new wards for Hereford are now since the elections?
A message from 'It's Our County'
Newton Farmers Queens Birthday Party

I have been made aware that the infamous and elusive Cllr Edwards is busy organising a party for HRH on his doorstep by Belmont Poolside! As far as I am aware no one in the community has been contacted, either to assist or input in this "community party". I have not been able to obtain any further information or provisional dates.
I again attempted to contact Cllr Edwards the other week whilst at the park nearby with mini me. In regards to this and other issues that have been raised throughout the ward. Even though he was in he refused to answer the door!
When Council 'free' isn't really free at all
A press release by the Council a couple of weeks ago was published by HT without challenging the apparent facts. It concerns Herefordshire's electric vehicle charging point network - the Council have handed over management of this to Chargemaster under the brand name of Polar. The Council say 'To continue its support of EV drivers in the county Herefordshire Council will continue to offer free electricity and free parking whilst recharging at all its charge points.' All well good you may think - what they don't say is that Chargemaster (not surprisingly with such an aggressive name) charge £8 a month for the privilege of accessing a charger or £1.20 a connection, when previously there was no cost. I'm told their chargers are not compatible with all electric cars and there are only 9 in the County anyway, 6 of which are in Hereford. Ok, so the electricity is still 'free' which actually means it's subsidised by the government (not the Council) to allow green boxes to be ticked, and for sure this won't last forever.

Cabinet 10 April
Agenda published

I cannot see anything specific on Bath Street Offices but it may be buried in the 14/15 Delivery Plan
Item 8 is in relation to a new audit service and the South West Audit Partnership is recommended.
If any Councillors see this thread I guess a question I would like asked on this is are there any ex Herefordshire Council staff employed by this organisation and is there any connection between the Chief Financial Officer Peter Robinson who moved here from somewhere south (Bristol?) and SW Audit Partnership? Just so we know who is or is not involved!!!!
Farage v Cameron tonight on ITV

I thought Nigel held more than his own, bearing in mind the constant attack by the EU funded academic and professional plants in the audience. Having said that Cameron is also on the receiving end of ordinary people's concerns at a personal level. Banks, corporations and restrictive professional association/bodies have little in common with the patriotic citizen, rather more than protecting themselves in their counting houses and milking us dry.
LEA Pool To Be Demolished For New Affordable Housing

Herefordshire Council is pleased to announce that WM Housing has been selected as preferred partner for the demolition and redevelopment of the former LEA Swimming Pool on Hollybush Walk, Hereford. The housing association will develop a scheme to provide much needed affordable housing on the site.
New Hereford Skate Park Vandalised

The turf has been laid over the past few days surrounding the new skate park and vandals have uplifted it and placed it all over the park, I have no words...
So on Monday afternoon I was taking nevaeh to nursery and as usual I have to walk past the brand new £100,0000 skate park and someone men from the Herefordshire housing had parked their van on the skate park as they were laying down rolls of turf on the built up banks (I had a funny feeling this grass that they were laying down was going to get vandalised! After the men had gone kids were standing all on it and sliding down it!) And I was right! This morning taking nevaeh to nursery the kids from Hereford Academy school had ripped up large chunks of the grass and put it all over the skate park! This was obviously done sometime yesterday. I took a bunch of photos and after dropping of nevaeh at nursery I went to the academy school and spoke to one a couple of the admin staff on duty and told them I was the lady that complained about the litter the other wk and I showed them the photos of what the kids had done to the grass! I AM ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS!!! as turf is very expensive and it has obviously been bought and paid for by the tax payers just for some vile, disrespectful kids! Who have no morals or comman decency! And who have been brought up by parents who couldn't give a ****! HERE ARE THE PHOTOS TO PROVE IT! I have forwarded on these photos to one of the admin staff from the school as well
