I thought this design had already been implemented at the Old Market development.

Yes and look how poor that looks in such a short space of time.

This is what they think it should look like, what a monstrosity!! It looks like some sort of cage and totally out of character for the area.

What is wrong with these people...

This is pretty overgrown I would say. 

I was away, so I missed this one 

I hope that they found their dog in the end.

That road was closed last year for roadworks, so are they closing it again? 

Which church? 

ha ha good one 

Shame, because it looked like a good idea

You have missed off King Street and Bobblestock surgeries, we had a letter arrive this morning, this lists is:

Greyfriars Surgery
Moorfield House Surgery
Sarum House Surgery
Quay House Medical Centre
King St and Bobblestock Surgeries

 

There is also a huge pothole as you turn into Mortimer Road from Newtown Road. 

I thought that this application had been refused? Unless I missed another application, but I cannot find any other however, Costa have applied for new signage now,

I have made a point to Jim Kenyon on a video complied by Your Herefordshire on their FB page about the traffic lights which Jim is featured in but Jim has made no reference to Hereford Voice or any of the other people that have been involved in the continued campaign you have been running trying to get these traffic lights turned off. I think it would of been just a little appropriate if Jim has made a reference to this long campaign because right now he is getting all the credit for the idea and that does not sit well with me. Jim is a good guy and I always support him but some recognition was in order here imo

Thank you Bill for your support however, I am not after the acclaim although your loyalty is appreciated that said, I think Jim, like me is just trying to highlight these issues and we all need to strive towards getting these traffic lights turned off or at the very least made part-time, once part-time it might prove that turning them off altogether and replacing some of them with roundabout where possible to be more advantageous to the motorists of Hereford.

It is good to see I agree Colin but it shouldn't take a post on Hereford Voice to encourage Halfords to clean up their space, this should be automatic and a priority

I agree Paul and in fairness, since we raised these issues it appears to be much cleaner on the retail park again.

Good to see Halfords have kept their area clean, we were at the retail park yesterday and a much bigger improvement. 

All the roads have litter on them, it is a disgrace, I agree that bigger fines is a good idea providing they start to prosecute the idiots.

Cyclists who ride on pavements are "potential killers", a senior judge has warned as he hit out at the number of people ignoring safety rules.

Judge Anthony Cross QC warned anyone riding their bikes on footpaths posed a "serious risk" to pedestrians and said they would have to face crown court and jail if they knocked someone down - and were caught.

He made the comments at Manchester Crown Court as he spared a photography student from going to prison. Jesus Medina knocked down 72-year-old Marlene Crossley on a footpath, as she emerged from a corner shop in Salford. 

The pensioner  suffered a fractured hip after being spun round by the force of the impact and despite surgery she has not recovered her full mobility and she struggles to sleep at night.

Medina, 24, from Fallowfield, Manchester, had been facing up two years jail after he admitted an offence under the obscure Victorian law of "causing harm by wanton and furious driving." 

But he was ordered to complete 40 hours unpaid work and pay Mrs Crossley £750 compensation after the court heard how he stayed at the scene of the accident to comfort the victim and gave his details to police. 

He also kept in touch with her family to check on her wellbeing and offered to do odd jobs for her husband whilst she was in hospital.

Market Street in Manchester was one of the places the judge said he saw cyclists riding their bikes

Passing sentence Judge Cross said: "It's quite obvious there's a real risk of serious injury caused by people cycling in pedestrian areas in this city.

"People simply don't realise when riding their bikes on footpaths they can kill people. It's obvious that there are real, dangers inherent in anybody riding their bicycle on a pavement the risks to members of the public should not be ignored.

"Here though there are a number of features which distinguish this case from others which are obvious to anybody who walked about this city."

The incident occurred on August 21 last year.

Earlier this month the Department of Transport said it was considering a report saying cyclists involved in fatal accidents should be brought into line with motorists and charged with a new offence of causing death by dangerous cycling. The inquiry was announced after 44-year-old mother-of-two Kim Briggs was knocked over and killed by bicycle courier Charlie Alliston.

Walking into City yesterday I noticed a huge amount of rubbish on the embankment of the Brook retail park
& the shrub area of Stonebow is a right mess too.

I bumped into Cllr Bridges this week and explained about all this rubbish on Haywood Lane so hopefully it will get cleared up, this lane is notorious for fly tippers.

Driving along Haywood Lane I noticed someone has dumped a whole load of rubbish and clothing down the side of the embankment next to the railway tunnel. 

There is a huge amount there as you can see from these photographs.

I drove back from London today and it was -2 at 4pm this afternoon and almost blizzard like conditions 

I have signed.

I thought this was brilliant
