    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

    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.

    Health & Social Care Payments

    Chris Chappell
    By Chris Chappell,

    I am investigating whether people in receipt of benefits from the council or health are being treated properly. I hope that you and/or your family & friends can help me.

     

    I have received reports that some disabled people are not disabled enough to get full financial support despite being unable to feed themselves, toilet or wash themselves, needing two care workers several times a day to turn them or change soiled clothes. I do not want to put ideas into your heads so will say no more. Want you to tell me!

     

    I have reason to believe that some professionals are expected to put their professional judgement on one side, a criminal offence, and report that clients do not need the financial support they deserve.

    Please ask your family, your neighbour, any one you know who is/ has received any form of disability benefit, but now is being means tested, what they have been told.

     

    I can not explor this without you, so thanks for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

    ​High Town Refurbishment

     
    The ‘High Town Refurbishment’ will create a consistent look and feel to help improve the city centre, which will attract shoppers, traders and businesses in to Hereford city. The Old Market development has improved the leisure experience in Hereford and has brought more people to Hereford city centre since it opened in May 2014. The refurbishment of Widemarsh Street in 2010 created a popular and attractive link between the old and new parts of the city and the High Town refurbishment will extend this area. The revamped Butter Market will provide a diverse space with a variety of businesses alongside retailers.
     
    Public consultation about this refurbishment project is scheduled for November 2015. Further details on how you can feedback on the scheme to follow.
     
    The High Town Refurbishment will be funded through the Herefordshire Council Local Transport Plan capital budget.
     
    Transport hub and refurbishment of Commercial Road, Newmarket Street and Blueschool Street
     
    High Town.png
     
    Arriving in Hereford by bus or train, you are likely to walk from the station along Blueschool Street, Commercial Road and Newmarket Street. The refurbishment of these areas will make the walk or cycle into Hereford city centre more pleasurable, helping people lead healthier and more active lives. It will also be easier for visitors and residents to use buses and trains at a new ‘transport hub.’
     
    Public consultation about this refurbishment project is scheduled for November 2015. Further details on how you can feedback on the scheme to follow.
     
    The area improvements and transport hub will be built as part of the ‘hereford city centre transport package’ with funding secured from the marches local enterprise partnership.

    Maylord Orchards

    Adrian symonds
    By Adrian symonds,

    That place is getting worse, the toilets stink and a lot of the time are broken, maybe because now they are about the only loos left in the city centre and the lift seems to break down too often.

     

    The cleaning is awful, dirty and grubby and with all the stalls in the lobby it is far too crowded. It shows how far downhill Maylords have gone. A few years ago they would not have anything in the lobby at all, now they have what ever they can get.

     

    Who owns the place now?

     

    I know times are hard, but giving it a decent clean would not hurt it.

     


    70 Villa St,Hunderton

    ragwert
    By ragwert,

    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.
