    By lpusseycat,

    Cannot make your mind up the EU was started in 1942 by Nazi's the first German government set up after ww2 was in Bonn and it included 150 Nazi's and by 1959 it included as it's most senior advisor a Nazi who stood trial at Nuremburg and was imprisoned.Do i have to spell it out for you do not listen to the lies the media put in front of you. They need us we do not need them how can you allow an unelected body rule your lives wake up people wake up. 

    Harry Breckhough was a codebreaker during ww2 and helped set up the University systems after the war and worked with the new German government but they did not know he had worked for british intelligence listen to what he has to say.


    Bags Of Help

    Colin James
    By Colin James,

    Tesco has teamed up with Groundwork to launch its Bags of Help initiative across England and Wales. The scheme will see three community projects awarded grants of £12,000, £10,000 and £8,000 – all raised from the 5p bag charge. Herefordshire Housing’s Playground Project has been lucky enough to have been chosen as 1 of the 3 community projects to benefit, in Herefordshire.

    Bags of Help offers community groups and projects in each of Tesco’s 390 regions across the UK a share of revenue generated from the five pence charge levied on single use carrier bags. The public will now be able to vote in store from the 27th February until 6th March on who should receive the £12,000, £10,000 or £8,000 awards.
     
    The Herefordshire Housing Playground Project will involve building a brand new play area alongside the newly renovated Newton Farm Skate Park, to create a new focal point for the whole community.
     
    The renovated skate park already has social seating installed and Herefordshire Housing are looking at making it an area for the whole community to enjoy – the award from the Tesco Bags of Help Scheme will help to pay for a new playground to be installed, for all ages and abilities.
     
    So please pop along to your local Tesco store and vote for Herefordshire Housing between the 27th February and the 6th March!

    The former "Farmers Club" now currently owned by Simply Stunning on the corner of Widemarsh Street was sold several months ago, I can now reveal that the new owners are "Cosy Club" restaurant and bar, due to open in February 2016.

     

    The Cosy Clubs are all day eating & drinking venues, open from 9am in the morning for brunch & coffee, right through to dinner & cocktails in the evening. Serving an array of mouth-watering food and quality libations in a slightly gentrified and quirky environment.

    The Rankin Centre Hereford

    Colin James
    By Colin James,
    Hereford Library and Museum Building
     
    This is a unique Hereford building, iconic: a splendid example of mid-Victorian Gothic. It is a landmark in the range of buildings in Broad Street. It houses the county library, the Hereford museum and an art gallery. It was originally built in the 1870s largely due to the generosity of James Rankin, a founder of the Woolhope Club, which is still housed in the building. Now disaster has struck, for during building works asbestos was discovered and the entire building is currently closed to the public. It will cost a substantial sum of money to put right.
     
    But even then it will fall way below the standards expected of a county library and museum. For the building has been neglected for years, for decades. The Hereford Library Users Group believes there is a unique opportunity to bring the building into the 21st century.
     
    The User Group has been invited, with other interested parties, by the Hereford- shire Council’s Cabinet to explore how it might be best developed into a 21st cen- tury innovative, cultural and community centre for the city. With radical thinking and the employment of the full resources of the digital age, it will be possible for this building, which we propose should be called The Rankin Centre, to take on an entirely new lease of life. It will be revitalized by a number of unique innovations using synergy between the library and the museum collections. It will become, again, a major attraction for residents and tourists alike, worthy of Hereford and Herefordshire.
     
    The Proposal
     
    What follows is an entirely new concept in the heart of the city of Hereford. The present building is the county’s central library and houses the main museum in the county. At present it fulfils neither of these functions adequately. It should become a major focus for cultural, educational and information seeking activities in the city and the county, as well as an attraction for tourists.
     
    The proposal has a number of distinctive innovations that include a new way of integrating library and museum offers, and a better way of accessing the library resources by introducing the concept of ‘discoverability’, including an informed gateway to archive sources.
     
    Over the next few years Herefordshire could have a new and innovative university which will require a library facility. There is also an intention to apply to be a Euro- pean City of Culture but the poor quality of what is at present on offer would al- most certainly disqualify any bid. This major omission must be dealt with for the bid will fail in the absence of a first rate library and museum. The Library Users Group proposes a cultural and information hub to bring together community ser- vices, a meeting place for young and old, tourism, business support, digital access, a modern library display and meeting areas and with links to services such as mu- seums and archives – a real hub for the county. There are excellent examples of such centres elsewhere, such as at the Norwich Millennium, Centre, the Winchester Discovery Centre, The Hive. Worcester, Brighton’s Jubilee library and the Tower Hamlets Idea Stores, all of which have been extraordinarily successful in rejuvenat- ing and inspiring the communities they serve. Such a centre in Hereford would support and reinforce the positive effects that the establishment of a university will bring to the county.
     
    The key to the proposal is a complete re-development of the interior of the present Broad Street building, with its listed and striking Victorian Italianate façade, which is in an excellent location in the heart of the city. However, the building is quite inadequate for a modern library and museum and is unable to provide the facilities that a 21st century cultural hub needs. It does not attract people to use it as is evi- dent from falling numbers. Present use of space, access and services is poor and is a gross under utilization of a prominent city centre site. The inner structure of the library needs to be torn out and a completely new arrangement of floors and access between them set in place. See the architect’s outline section, below.

    New Homes Bonus for 2016 - 2017

    Denise Lloyd
    By Denise Lloyd,

    "Provisional allocations of the New Homes Bonus for 2016 to 2017 including a gross payment calculator and technical consultation.

    Full list of provisional allocations of the New Homes Bonus for the 2016 to 2017 financial year including a gross payment calculator and details of the technical consultation into reforming the New Homes Bonus in future years.

    Provisional year 6 allocations

    The New Homes Bonus is a grant paid by central government to local councils to reflect and incentivise housing growth in their areas.

    The New Homes Bonus is currently paid each year for 6 years. It is based on the amount of extra Council Tax revenue raised for new-build homes, conversions and long-term empty homes brought back into use. There is also an extra payment for providing affordable homes.

    Details for the provisional allocations for the year 2016 to 2017 are below. These allocations bring the total amount of New Homes Bonus allocated to local councils to over £4.8 billion. This rewards delivery of almost 1 million net additional dwellings, and over 100,000 long-term empty homes brought back into use and over 270,000 affordable homes.

    Councils can decide how to spend the New Homes Bonus. However, we expect councils to consult communities about how they will spend the money, especially communities where housing stock has increased.

    1. New Homes Bonus provisional allocations 2016 to 2017
      • 17 December 2015
      • Policy paper

    For Herefordshire CC 600 new homes will receive just under £5m. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/486250/New_Homes_Bonus_-_provisional_allocations.xlsx"

     

    Whilst I knew Councils are paid to have new houses built I did not know about the last paragraph thus.  I know with 106 monies the Councils should consult with the parishes affected by new builds but not with the New Homes Bonus. 

     

    "Councils can decide how to spend the New Homes Bonus. However, we expect councils to consult communities about how they will spend the money, especially communities where housing stock has increased."

    Hereford Racecourse to reopen

    Ubique
    By Ubique,

    From BBC Sports .

     

    Hereford racecourse - controversially closed down by owners Arena Racing Company in December 2012 - is to reopen for business in October.

     

    Up to four fixtures are to be staged with more in 2017.

     

    Hereford was shut in 2012 after 241 years of racing - the first recorded meeting there was in August 1771.

     

    However, ARC said at the time the venue was no longer viable, citing the recession and the rise of internet betting on other sports.
