    Broadleys Pub Planning Application - Co-Operative Store

    Colin James
    By Colin James,

    Herefordshire Council have received a planning application to turn the Broadleys Pub into a Co-Operative store according to Tina Carey (Landlady)

    I think we have enough supermarkets, I would rather see this turned into a Toby Carvery rather than another shop personally.

    This is the message that Tina Carey put out on Facebook Last night.

    Hi there everybody,
    Some of you may already have heard the news but I feel it's my duty to share with you personally.
    Please remember, when I came to The Broadleys 3 1/2 years ago I always said I would stay 4/5 years - that has not changed. 
    However, last Friday planning permission was submitted to Hereford council to turn this site into a Co-Operative store. It will take approximately 5/6 months for the planning to be approved - if it is approved and then and only then will I agree a leaving date of a further 6 months. So I'm not going anywhere just yet!!
    I appreciate this may come as a shock to some of you and emotions will run high.
    I will do my best to keep you all updated on further development and any decisions made and there timeframes etc.,
    This is not guaranteed - and we still have approximatley 12 months to make some noise, have a lot of fun and create further memories.

    I believe life is like a "bus journey" - My "bus" stopped in Hereford 3 1/2 years ago and since then, many people have stepped on my bus. Some, have got off and taken another bus - but some people even had to be thrown off my bus. Oops!! I'm not sure where my bus will next take me, some of you may stay on my bus - you just might have to change seats!

    So watch this space - I will keep you updated! Cheers "T".,
    Tina J Carey.

     


    Castle Green Fireworks

    By DILLIGAF,

    Cracking night out! Thanks FOCG! Cheap cider, cheep food and cheap decent fireworks- thanks to Julian. A few people I spoke to were racecourse veterans and said how much nicer CG was. No complaints from me. At my estimated guess I recon 2-3000 folks attended. It was full but not crowded.
    My only concern was the chap flying the phantom drone over the crowd and above the fireworks. Both illegal and he is not qualified to do so anyhow. (I know who he is and which shop he works in!)

    Courtyard wants you to give them more money

    Adrian symonds
    By Adrian symonds,

    So as well as paying for shows, they want people to donate. i admit I have not been there for a few years, I do not like the place, cramped and the stage is too small to put anything big on. shame really because I like theatre. 

     

     


    Is democracy dead?

    megilleland
    By megilleland,

    Bearing in mind the welcome opposition councillors' planned coup, regarding the cabinet system next week do we get what we deserve? How are these councillors going to carry us through to the election polls next May? As witnessed on these pages not many councillors engage with us on the many local issues affecting the city and which concern us. Directness and honesty seem to be secondary considerations, often only telling us how bad things are after they have gone t"ts up. Consultations are undertaken and ignored if the results do not fit the planned agenda. How much has and is this costing us?

     

    Nearer to us in the West Midlands last week,  the election for a police commissioner attracted only 1 in 10 registered voters. The vote following the death last month of Bob Jones resulted in a turnout of 10.4%, the lowest recorded since the posts were created two years ago, prompting demands for the process to be reformed.

     
    The cost of the election to the taxpayer has been estimated £3.7m, just under £20 for each vote cast.
     
    Is that the price for democracry today? Quite cheap for those wishing to remain in power.

    Advice: Parking and penalty notices on private land

    Colin James
    By Colin James,

    Have you ever had a penalty charge notice placed on your car windscreen for parking in a Supermarket, KFC or private car park by some company who attempts to claim money from you by making these invoices look like some sort of parking ticket?

     

    I hate these SCAMMERS! Because in my opinion that is what they are, so I have decided to put together some articles and advice on what to do if you have a speculative invoice placed onto your car windscreen and links to various other sites offering similar advice.

     

    It is down to YOU, whether you decide to accept this advice but at the very least it will give you options that you may not thought were available. 

     

    I recently won my appeal to POPLA against Corporate Services Parking Management, you can read the whole article and various comments in the topic 'Should I Pay A Private Parking Ticket'

    Herefordshire Heritage at Risk 2015

    By megilleland,
    Herefordshire Heritage at Risk 2015

     

    What is the Heritage at Risk Programme?

    The Heritage at Risk Programme (HAR) helps us understand the overall state of England's historic sites. Launched in 2008, the programme identifies those sites that are most at risk of being lost as a result of neglect, decay or inappropriate development.

     

    Every year Historic England updates the Heritage at Risk Register. The end result is a dynamic picture of the sites most at risk and most in need of safeguarding for the future.

     

    The important process of checking the condition of our heritage goes back more than two decades to the birth of the Buildings at Risk survey. The method has since been widened to include other types of historic places (heritage assets). The Register now includes:

     

    Buildings and structures

    Places of worship

    Archaeological sites

    Conservation areas

    Registered parks and gardens

    Registered battlefields

     

    You can find out what's at risk by searching the Heritage at Risk Register.

     


    GWW Clear Up! *Update*

    Colin James
    By Colin James,

    GWWa.jpg

    Cllr Jim Kenyon, county councillor for the Tupsley ward, has helped arrange a litter pick and community day this Sunday, which he hopes will bring community spirit to the area.

    He said: "The encouraging thing for me is people from across the city want to sort this problem out and reclaim the lines and make it safe to use.
     
    "It is a thoroughfare from the south of the city to the north of the city. What we want is to make it a safer route."
     
    Cllr Kenyon said the bushes alongside the path are overgrown and this week Herefordshire Council's contractor, Balfour Beatty, is cutting it back over three days.
     
    This extra work is funded by the city council and match funded by the county council.
     
    Cutting back the bushes will reveal a lot of litter, so this is where the community can step in this Sunday and take part in a litter pick- bags and litter pickers will be provided.
     
    Help is also needed to cut back bushes by the exit and entry points to the lines- Cllr Kenyon asked for people to join Colin and to bring any spare loppers or hand saws.
     
    He said there will also be an update on the day about my requests for the LED lighting and the CCTV camera, which is due to be installed this month.
     
    Community groups are involved including Close House and everyone is welcome to join in.
     
    Parking is available at Hereford Rugby Club and there will be free refreshments at the rugby club at 2pm and the chance to talk to police and councillors.
          
    Cllr Laura Hall, from the city council, said she grew up in Hunderton and wants people to realise what a nice area it is.
     
    Meet at the rugby club at 11am. If you would like any more information contact Hereford Voice or call Cllr Kenyon on 07711 316013 or Cllr Hall on 07860 929863

    Hereford Football Club Poppy Shirt Auction

    Colin James
    By Colin James,

    On Saturday 7 November, the day before Remembrance Sunday, Hereford FC will entertain Rocester in the Midland Football League at Edgar Street.

    HFC.jpg
    As a mark of respect, and to show support for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal, the players will be wearing a special set of playing shirts on the day that have a poppy printed on the chest, just above the logo of our main sponsor, Jewson.
     
    These shirts are a one off and each player will then sign their shirt after the game. Once signed, club kitman, Roger Lloyd, will collect all the shirts together and each one will be auctioned online in the next few weeks, with all the money raised being donated to the Poppy Appeal in Herefordshire.
     
    Speaking about this fundraising initiative, Hereford FC’s Commercial Manager, Chris Ammonds, said:
     
    ‘As a club were very keen to show support for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal in the county and this seems a fantastic way of doing this.
     
    ‘It also gives our supporters an opportunity to secure a unique piece of Hereford FC memorabilia as these shirts will be worn only once and each one will be signed by the player who wears it on the day.
     
    ‘In the days after the game the shirts will then be placed on EBay and each will be sold to the highest bidder.
     
    ‘We feel it is vital this club makes a contribution within the local community and therefore every single penny that is successfully bid for each shirt will be donated to support the Poppy Appeal in Herefordshire.
     
    ‘We hope that our fantastic supporters dig deep in an attempt to get their hands on these unique items – I’m sure everyone agrees that the more money we can all help raise the better.’
     
    Sarah Jones, Community Fundraiser for the Royal British Legion in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, said:
     
    ‘As covering Community Fundraiser for Herefordshire, it is great to see the lengths that people will go to, to support The Royal British Legion.
     
    ‘Hereford Football Club has been a pleasure to work with and I would like to personally thank the club for supporting Herefordshire in their Poppy Appeal for 2015/16.
     
    ‘I look forward to seeing the unique shirts being worn by the team and seeing how much money can be raised for the Poppy Appeal when they are auctioned.’
     
    As well as wearing the limited edition shirts during the Rocester game, the Territorial Army have been invited to join the Guard of Honour as the teams take to the field on Saturday 7 November.
     
    In addition, on Tuesday 10 November, when Hereford FC entertain Stourport at Edgar Street, the Royal British Legion will be holding a bucket collection to further assist with their fundraising efforts.
