This is terrible, I did not realise it was that bad.

The new sign is super, well done to everyone involved.

My thoughts go out to the family who has lost this man. Absolutely terrible accident on this notorious stretch of road.

The Highway Code says the cyclists should ride single file, especially on narrow roads, see screenshot:

Unless otherwise stated cyclists are not permitted to ride on footpaths.

Cyclists on Footpaths! Should cyclists be allowed on footpaths? I ask the question because this morning I was walking along Belmont Avenue and a chap on a bike knocked into me from behind and almost knocked me to the floor as he came speeding past me on along the footpath on his bike. He turned around and shouted sorry pal but to be honest it not only startled me but I will probably have a bruise on my arm. I could have easily lost my balance and fallen into the road. I thought riding a bicycle on a footpath was illegal? I appreciate that some people do not like riding on the roads and most of the councils in the country are implementing cycle lanes where they can but if the roads are narrow in the first place it makes it very difficult. I always remeber growing up that the police would tell you to get off your bike and walk on footpaths but that does not appear to happen anymore. I have just seen this article on Sky news

Proposals to install Pay and Display machines on some of the city centre’s streets were approved on, Wednesday 9 August 2017. The scheme will include nominal charges for short stays in the heart of the city. Parking charges will apply and cost 50p for up to half an hour and £1 for up to an hour stay. The following streets will be subject to the charges: Aubrey Street Bridge Street Broad Street Gaol Street Harrison Street King Street St John Street St Owen Street Disabled badge holders will be unaffected by the charges and they will continue to be able to park for free whilst displaying their badge.

The weeds on top of the city walls have really grown, why are they not being removed? It is bad enough seeing all the weeds and litter on our streets but the city walls are part of our heritage, we need to get onto Jesse Norman

Welcome, Aurun. See attachment Notice_of_Consultation_PSPO_dog_control.pdf

Are they serious?? I am going to call the police and make a complaint.

This chap is correct we do not owe the EU anything, this is something that has been made up along the way. The remaining EU countries now have to make up the shortfall and they are looking at making the UK to pay for it.

Yes I take ownership of my views and I respect yours but I believe that we need these austerity measures in order to reduce the national debt left behind.. There is no real difference as I certainly do not begrudge others less fortunate and I do not have a problem with genuine people claiming benefits, I Like the social system, what I don't like is hearing is that everyone else are apparent victims, I don't buy that. Getting back to this woman in a tent causing a right bloody mess, lets be honest about that! I clearly do not know all of the facts but from what I have read and what the police have said in their statement it appears that there is no helping this woman?

On the flip side, your are one of those people quick enough to demonise the local authorities too without knowing the full facts quite often, I notice that you tend to side with the opposite side of authority usually all of the time, other members share the same views that whoever it happens to be is the victim and all the people having to make decisions are the bad guys? What gives? Away from this particular topic and person, I find it frustrating to often hear excuses being made for some of these people, that a regular criminal has been dealt a bad card in life or a person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol is vulnerable, someone who behaves often in a anti-social manner probably has mental issues and needs help, everyone is a bloody victim. Actually, we all have choices in life and we are all responsible for our own actions, yet it seems that the people who work hard and try to better themselves by buying their own homes etc etc, like myself, I get told because I voted to the Conservatives, which is my right, I am a Tory! So am I the bad guy here?

Just goes to show, when no or fewer benefits are paid out strangely enough there happens to be less disabled people about. I bet you didn't see hardly anyone on a mobility scooter either Colin?

This is a useful list, thank you for going to the effort of compiling it. Thank I will change where I eat after reading this.

Fabulous, well done Councillors and also the members of the public, you have achieved lots by the looks of these photographs and on such a hot humid day, a well earned glass or two of vino on the agenda tonight I am sure.

Good news, Nick Semper is a good guy and understands that young people want to have a good night, which includes some grub on the way home! I don't see a problem with it, Golden Galleon has not had any major problems since their late night licence was approved and I notice that there are a few more places opening late. I hope more and more businesses apply to stay open, it would be good if in his new role he can visit other establishments encouraging them to apply too.

This is a sad day for Hereford and the local community who have come to rely on this centre.

Personally, I think he has attracted them by offering them free tuition fees (which he cannot finance) which ironically his party introduced. He also know that the young first time voters are more easily influenced, so it depends on how you look at it, but that is how I see it.

Let's face it Corbyn lost despite a massive vote from the youth. Combined with an awful conservative campaign he will never do better than this. There is also the factor that the Blairites in his party are unlikely to vote with him in parliament.

Oh how wonderful and original, well done Jim Kenyon for your efforts

I just read this and completely agree:

British Transport Police have a firearms unit, so the fact that they were transport police is irrelevant.

Shoot us all? WTH you on about Bobby?

I am in favour of armed police, the world has changed for the worst and we need to be able to prevent life by being able to respond within seconds to any threat to the public. European police carry firearms so it is time for our police to be able to protect the public and themselves. I have signed the petition to at least allow a debate in parliament.
