Well it looks like I will be signing off then..Sadly I can possibly see why so few do actually contribute but this is often the way with such sites..a few regular posters with a lot to say. Good Luck.

As a newbie to this site and keen to read the voices of Hereford I think you guys need to step back and read these posts. If it's dribble then it's just another Facebook and to be honest it's of no I interest to me! Sorry.

Thanks Dippyhippy..I would like to add that considering the Asda traffic Lights are new it appears to be a real hash.

Sorry Clarkster it was your comment I agree with..flipping newbies

As a newbie to Hereford Voice I'm no doubt coming in on some topics that have been around a long time however I do agree with mawillimont. A North/South bypass ( either side) would sort the problem out however we,'ve seen some free money from Wales as they continue their dualling of the A465. Will this stop at Abergavenny or march on to Hereford where probably it will link with a new western relief road taking heavy traffic away from the town centre until we get our own orbital dual carriageway.(I know your laughing now) I like many long distance drivers travel south down the A49 then turn right for Monmouth when heading west or run down to Trumpet before heading to the M50 . I appreciate there seems to be a thing about traffic lights.. well to be honest it's been my observation that during the dark hours a lot of people ignore them so I would switch them off and abolish speed limits as well as these are all so ridiculed because there are few resources to enforce and the people in the county know it. I'm pretty comfortable that I could sit my emergency vehicle up at the trumpet lights and just wait for custom.

This county continues to be a target for retirement which will only increase forcing prices up.Most of these "escape to the country" programmes highlight Herefordshire. An additional concern now is the second home crowd as Dorset,Devon, Cornwall and Cotswolds are proving longer to drive too and expensive to acquire. Whether our retired gentry have money or not looking after our 70 plus crew in this county is the single biggest welfare issue for the next twenty years. The only jobs in the HT will continue to be for carers. Will we become a massive retirement home??
