Well done Cllr Jim Kenyon for your beautiful tribute mural to fallen soldiers on the side of your pub.

I took this photograph of a beautiful sunset over the river wye this evening with my phone.

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.

This is brilliant! Well done to everyone at The Grandstand Hereford including the pub’s manager Hannah Judge and staff Matthew Dixon, Rees Perry, Jason Beckett and Dave Lee.

I took this photograph on the 'Castle Green' early on this beautiful Autumn morning and I thought I would share it with you all.

What will our city look like, your thoughts...

​High Town Refurbishment

Hereford Beer House is coming along nicely and will be open before you know it.

Some additional life in West Street will be good, I'm sure.

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.

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.
