  3. McDonald's Refurbishment Plans Submitted

    in Planning

    Posted

    This application relates to the up-to-date concept which introduces a new additional fast forward lane and booth, to allow two customers to collect their order at different booths.

     
    The extension will facilitate a new drive thru booth which will provide a second collection point.
     
    The new fast forward booth will allow for a customer to pull forward to an additional booth, if there is a small delay in the order, rather than driving through to the grill bays.
     
    This allows the traffic flow to be retained through the drive thru lane.

    Hospital trusts in England made a record £174M from car parking fees last year.

     

    The Patients Association has criticised the figures, saying it's a charge for being ill.
     
    Hereford County Hospital has been named as the second most expensive hospital car park in the country.
     
    Costs are extortionate at £3.50 for a one hour visit!

  10. The Send Climbing Centre - Rotherwas SET TO REOPEN

    in Open Forum

    (I have added a photograph to your post mate)

     

    Yes, unsure what has really happened here but we ran an article on Facebook today.

     

    Sudden closure of popular climbing centre. 

    'The Send Climbing Centre' is closed.

    The county’s only indoor climbing centre – opened in February of this year in a disused warehouse on the Rotherwas industrial estate Hereford.

    The sudden closure appears to have come as a complete shock to the staff who were only told that the site was closing last week after just nine months in business.

    We have made attempts t contract the owners without a response. 

    There has been no statement from the company at this time

    There is a note on their website that says:
    "Due to unforseen circumstances we’ve been unable to open the centre. We’ll keep customers updated on developments in the near future."

    *** Memberships and gift vouchers were sold so some people will be out of pocket however, although this is a different type of venue we understand that Play Planet Hereford have pledged this very generous and kind offer "We would like to offer 2 free entry vouchers to anyone that has been given or purchased vouchers/membership at "The Send" , contact us directly for more details" ***

    Halo Leisure and Herefordshire Council - looking forward to a further 75 years of ‘Creating Healthier Communities’
    logo-halo.png
    Halo Leisure has just signed a new 75 year lease with Herefordshire Council, one of four local authorities they work with, marking a joint commitment to the long term future of sport and physical activity in the county. The award winning social enterprise has, since it launched in Herefordshire in 2002, set out to create the finest facilities at its centres across England and Wales (serving elite athletes, sports clubs, schools and families), and to create healthy partnerships with the community via everything from GP referral schemes to healthy ageing initiatives. Their success is illustrated by the millions they keep reinvesting in the work they do and the 22 centres they now manage.
     
    “We have a huge amount of expertise in this arena and are constantly seeking out new ways to reach and engage with more people where we have centres,” says Scott Rolfe, Halo’s CEO. “But our success is also the result of partnership working.”
     
    Rolfe says his team have worked closely with each of the authorities who have commissioned them to deliver leisure opportunities for local people not only in Herefordshire but Bridgend County Borough, Wiltshire and Shropshire.

    “We make sure we absolutely understand each locality and the needs of the communities, building bridges with them, and with local charities, health organisations, sports bodies, GP practices and more so we can shape our offering to suit and reach people of all ages and abilities in the most effective way.
     
    “We are, like many leisure providers in the UK today, way more than just a gym or a local pool. We are part of an exciting, ongoing local service and when delivered well reaps huge mutual rewards for the community (who have access to swim lessons, exercise sessions and year round gym, sports and pool facilities as well as a whole series of events) and for the council who see the savings in the areas of health, education and social care which our leisure centres support.”
     
    Councillor Harry Bramer, Herefordshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Contracts and Assets, said:
     
    “Halo’s commitment to the 75 year lease shows their commitment to Herefordshire. Halo’s services enable our residents to live safe, healthy and independent lives and have become an integral part of our community, used by families, schools, charities, athletes, sports clubs and more.”

  17. Hereford FC Stadium Tenancy Secured for 10 Years

    Club’s tenancy at Edgar Street stadium secured for 10 years

     
    Hereford Football Club has signed an agreement with Herefordshire Council (dated 19 December 2017), which will secure the club’s tenancy at the Edgar Street stadium for a further 10 years.
     
    The extended lease - which can be triggered by the club - will allow for future development of the club’s stadium as part of a wider area that is set to further improve following the opening of the Old Market shopping development and the construction of the new City Link Road. The proposed ‘Urban Village’ project, part of the Hereford 2020 Edgar Street regeneration, could potentially mean a new stand and associated facilities to return the ground to a four-sided stadium, as well as more retail outlets nearby.

    Hereford FC signs new lease (l-r) Councillor Harry Bramer and Hereford FC Chairman Ken Kinnersley
     
    Speaking today, Hereford FC’s Chairman Ken Kinnersley said:

    “It is quite apparent that the council recognises the work of the many local people who volunteer at the club and also the financial investment in stadium renovation since April 2015. A longer lease term will justify further investment in improvements to the club’s facilities, allow time for a return on the investment and ensure we are eligible to apply for grant funding that may be available for future projects.”
     
    Councillor Harry Bramer, Cabinet Member for Contracts and Assets said:

    “Following the league success of Hereford FC, and to enable them to plan, invest and satisfy the requirements of the Football Association, Herefordshire Council will grant the club a 10 year lease extension, which they can take up at any time before July 2020.
     
    “Hereford FC continues to make a great contribution to the city and the wider community. Many local traders benefit from increased trade on match days and the football club is an important employer and a contributor to the local economy.”

  19. Articulated Trailer Dumped on A49 Much Birch Hereford

    in Open Forum

    Posted

    Herefordshire Council is appealing for information about an articulated trailer that was dumped on the A49 layby at Much Birch, between Ross-on-Wye and Hereford.

     

    Articulated_trailer01_1.jpg

     
    The articulated trailer, which has a distinctive camel image on the back, was known to be parked in a layby on 7 October, next to Maggie’s snack bar.
     
    When it became clear that the trailer would not be moved, Herefordshire Council’s Community Protection Team discovered that the trailer had been abandoned containing approximately 24,000 litres of oil.
     
    Oil waste needs to be collected by a registered waste carrier and disposed of responsibly. Enquiries are on-going to establish who dumped the environmental waste and the circumstances surrounding the fly tipping.
    The articulated trailer has a distinctive camel image on the back.
     
    Marc Willimont, Herefordshire Council’s Head of Regulatory and Development Management Services, said:

    “Herefordshire Council will take action against any business that illegally disposes of their waste. This is why we are appealing for information about the abandoned articulated trailer on the A49. Did anybody witness the articulated trailer being dropped off in the layby? Did you see anything suspicious? Do you know where the trailer may have come from?
    “We believe that the removal of the dumped articulated trailer and the oil waste may cost in the region of £20,000 – and this will now have to be paid for by the public.”
     
    The articulated trailer contained approximately 24,000 litres of oil.
     
    The Community Protection Team investigates unlawful waste disposal and fly tipping cases that are reported at www.herefordshire.gov.uk/flytipping
     
    If you have further information about the articulated trailer dumped on the A49 at Much Birch, please call the Community Protection Team on 01432 261761.
