I have relatives with young children living in one of the flats in Villa Street.
Number 70 Villa Street is well known to police as a drug den also used for selling drugs.
It was raided by police again about three weeks ago but still drugs are being sold and used.
Tonight there are people in the flat fighting smoking weed,drinking etc.
What does it take to have this type of scum evicted because my relatives and the residents have had enough.

Anyone shed any light on this? Early evening last night.

Congratulations to Hereford's 'Beefy Boys' for winning the UK Burger Battle 2015

I have just seen this over on Facebook yet another very worthy cause struggling with funding - what on earth is going to happen to these poor young people who need extra help? 

Herefords Skills Club for kids with Autism may have to close due to lack of funding! They will be holding a table top sale in December and are hoping for any kind of fund raising ideas or offers! Anything we could make a hamper up with to raffle? Any unwanted items for the table top sale? Anyone with a business willing to donate a prize for raffle or auction?

Any help at all would be very very welcome. This club is entirely funded through charity, and has in the past been saved by Children In Need, but we can't rely on that!!
Please help if you can, share away!!
Sincerely, Thank you. x

I see that the Money Shop in Commercial Road has closed and the nearest branch is in Gloucester, so unfortunately we have another empty shop.

Just had an email from planning regarding a new application for a petrol station at Asda, the plan is on the Council site. I will no longer be a Councillor when this comes to planning but if my wife gets elected to the City Council she will do a walk about in the Ward to hear what your opinions are.

Herefordshire locality stewards are celebrating a year of significant success as they mark their first year anniversary. 

So I'm working in East Street which should be pretty quiet as to the amount of vehicles using it because
it's a road you cannot go down as it has no motor vehicles signs at its entrance in Broad Street.It is just access only meaning you can only go down East Street if you need access to properties in East Street.
But not only is it ignored by the general public it is also ignored by Taxis,Balfour Beatty vans & police cars.
To say the residents down there are angry is an understatement and from what I have been told all their concerns fall on
deaf ears.

I joined this forum because I am interested in what is going on in Herefordshire. I have been somewhat dismayed at the personal attacks that go on, so much so that it has put me off contributing. I am now horrified to see my name in print as being a possible perpetrator of some heinous crime of " down voting posts" I don't even know what this means let alone how to do it. I would hope the administrator would clamp down on this sort of behaviour. It does nothing to improve the art of good debate!

Fire has ripped through an industrial unit after a gas explosion

I was reading this article in the Hereford Times informing us that a defibrillator has been installed at Asda Hereford and that 14 members of staff have been trained to use it. Excellent news, I think all supermarkets and large stores should have them as standard. 

It's Our County's Cath North will leave the Herefordshire party next week

Ex Hereford Times.  Does this mean there will be an lection to cover the ward? 

It has taken over 3 long years but today we have our first result!

At long last and after campaigning by Hereford Voice we can now all enjoy hot food until 3am at weekends! And 4.30am on Bank Holiday weekends (except Bank Holiday Monday) I spoke with Tony from the Golden Galleon sometime ago informing him that late night food applications are being relaxed and now was a good time to apply for extended hours, he did just that..

I am pleased to confirm that this afternoon Herefordshire Council's Regulatory Sub Committee met and considered an application from the Golden Galleon in Commercial Road to serve hot food late at night.

The case was heard and debated at length. After careful consideration the committee agreed to vary their premises licence to permit the sale of hot food as late as 03:00 and 04:30 on bank holidays.

 

I hope this keeps everyone in the loop and allays any fears that Hereford is resisting such a change. The police will no doubt keep an eye on the situation in the city centre and the Council will of course have to respond to any applications to review this licence should the late night sale lead to public nuisance or crime & disorder. However, let's hope it doesn't come to that and that everyone can enjoy their long awaited hot chips..!
