Which toilets are closed?

You are kidding, where have been over the last few years?   Most of them are closed, sure the city council have opened some of them back up, well kind of, but the council have now got this community toilet thing. in other words, we want to take your money but do not want to supply loos in the city.

Pissing in the wind with that vote. Why bother filling in the postal vote or dragging yerself to the polling station! Absolute waste of time! 

Get moaned at for not voting and when we vote we still get moaned at, no pleasing some people.

We are going off topic can we get back to the topic in hand please.

 

Nick Nenaditch's brother...

So what more can we say about Nick Nenaditch's brother? We said it all end of topic.

is this the same Greenhaugh who gave FALSE DETAILS at scene of accident some where by Mordiford and got away with it ????. and you didn't expect any different from a corrupt banana council and councillors'. IM AFRAID THOUGH YOU LOT VOTED THEM BACK IN AND GOT ANOTHER 41/2 YEARS TO GO SO PLEASE DONT COMPLAIN

I did not vote them back in , Green for national and It's our county for local. I thought at least IOC would have done better than they did, but this is Hereford after all.

As for Greens, I only voted for them because it had to be better than Voting for one of the waste of space main parties, but I did come close to voting UKIP.

 

You've got to give it to him the boy is bright

   "Rural residents earn less, pay more for their local government and receive fewer services than those in cities." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/earth/countryside/12041187/Stop-robbing-our-countryside-to-pay-for-the-cities.html â€¦

    

    

 

I bet he won't blame the government for it.

I thought they had already gone, it is bad for people who lose their jobs. When they can pay lower wages in China, this will happen more and more. Sadly manufacturing in this country have been going down hill for years.

Unfortunately the council have huge debts to clear and reduced funds from central government because of the previous Labour government. Money has to be raised and selling off these assets is only a quick fix and part of the solution. More to follow

 

The previous government was a Tory and Lib Dems one. Do you really think the tories are any better than Labour? No difference in any of them to be honest. 

I bet they will be demolished, like the ones behind the College green shops.

Why is this selling of the farms to another landlord any different to what the council did to their houses a few years ago?  I am not saying if it is right or wrong, but I do notice that some people who are against this are also those who are against animals being used for food, I thought they would have been happy with farms closing if they do close.

Normal politics then, 

Great if you want to pay nearly £10 for a fish finger sarnie.

Far from common sense in my opinion.

This idea was one of the most sensible transport plans I have heard touted around in recent years.

If done with some foresight and timetable planning it had the potential to remove hundreds of car journeys from the routes through the heart of the city.

Furthermore, if a freight terminal was installed, then the amount of lorries clogging up the cities roads could have been reduced.

But, yeah, as you say: "Common sense at long last"  I personally disagree with that statement.

If it paid for itself then fine, but as the report said it is not cost affective and we all know that when these things lose money it is us the tax payer that ends up paying for them.

So yes, in the circumstances it is common sense.

So it looks like this has been scrapped then according to this article in this week's HT...

Common sense at long last. Makes a change for our council.

But not one person still do not say how it will be funded.  

Where would the money come from for this? some bushinesses are complaining about the extra tax they have to pay for HBID, so I can not see many putting money in for a Tourist information centre.

Why does it need to be so big?

I haven't been to Coffee 1 yet simply because I had no need to go into town, hoping to go there sometime this week.

is it opened yet? The last time I went into town the building was still empty. Maybe that shows how often I go into.

I have to go into town on Thursday, so I may have a look

I remember when this place served up sausages in many different varieties. Not been the same since.

 

As for the colour, best thing to have happened in the area for a long time. Cheers the street up a little. Can we have more buildings brightened up please and all of Bridge Street too.

No wonder this city have gone down hill if all council members think like that.

Yes especially as the planning application had only just been passed by planning officers under delegated powers. It obviously pays to be a cabinet member of the Tory administration!.

I thought this was normal in government, be it local, national or European. this is why and no offence to you, I normally take what politicians say with a pinch of salt.

So much scratching of each others back, it is difficult to trust any of them.

Okay...  I'll tell you a few reasons why.

We have beautiful, accessible countryside right on our doorstep.

Don't want countryside?  Okay, we have plenty of leisure facilities.  The Leisure Pool, the Leisure Centre, The Golf Course, there is a very well regarded Skate park at the leisure centre, there is an excellent BMX track at Westfailing Street, there is regular roller-derby at Foley Trading estate, there are a football clubs, rugby clubs, hockey clubs, tennis and squash clubs.  Hereford FC are back and winning...

Not the sporty type?  Okay, there are shows at The Courtyard, there is the new multi-screen cinema.

Don't like the arts?  Right, there is the Old Livestock Market - it has shops, restaurants, coffee shops...

Don't like the OLM?  Okay, there is High Town...  Again, shops, cafe's, The Old House...

There are plenty of pubs...

Don't like pubs?  There are restaurants...

Don't like to eat out?

There is the Castle Green for a walkabout, or thJewellerye King George Playing fields / Bishops Meadows, the river...

What do you actually want from this city??

There is the A49, the A4103, the A465 other roads also lead away to elsewhere if it is that bad to live here.

I think your post have proved the point that Hereford is a dull place. Sport is fine for younger people, just a shame that a lot of the younger people are moving out of Hereford as there is no future here, until they retire and they may come back

All of what opened in the old market shop wise have added very little new, clothes, mainly women's or over priced. A over price jeweller shop, a supermaket and a Debenhams which someone asked me why did they bother as it is about as much use as a bucket with a hol;e in. (their words not mine)

Resturants are okj if you like that sort of thing, but have we not already got a load like it? We have loads of places that sells chicken, pizzas galore and Tacos seems to be the new in thing, so places for them as well.

I have said before that the courtyard is too small and not the nicest place to sit in for a couple of hours or so watching a show, I been there and done that, not enough room between the seats, uncomfortable and the stage is far too small. Not tak,ing anything away fromt he shows that are put on, but the venue is not that great.

I have yet have not been to the new cinema, but a mate of mine have got tickets for the new Starwars, so I will be going for the first time when that is on.

Pubwise, I do like going out for a drink, prefer the Beer in hand, but I do go to others.

As for leaving Hereford, if I was younger and in better health and could get work and if my Dad was not here, then I think I would be gone.

The problem is  Hereford is neither one thing or another, it is a small city that is trying to be big and it does not work.  

Another pub lost, not so sure if chippy there will do any good, it is a bit out of the way.

I went to the spread at the start of the year for a meal, it was ok for the price, but I would not have gone over board about it. 

Do we really need another chippy? We do need a decent one as it seems the chip shops in Hereford is going downhill quality wise. i wonder if these people who serve their products taste them to see what they are like.

I agree about the colour.

Very good news, getting to be a lack of pubs on that side of the river.

This is one of the reason why a friend of mine still get letters now and again via the London congestion charge zone. Number plate recognition is not as perfect as we are led to believe.

Or even add them.Take Uckington near Malvern for example.It used to be funny but it's kind of worn off over the years

It is a shame they have nothing better to do.

Also to add, well done Colin.

May go next year if all is well, I was thinking of going, but after getting home from work I could not be bothered, also no fun by yourself.

Ok, maybe I was a bit tough on the Court Yard, I have seen a few good shows there.

The link to the decision is now working again.

They aren't. Whenever I go out I always see a traffic attendant. The bottom line is that the area will be patrolled if it can make some money. 

That is true. To be honest, it should have been done years ago.
