Thanks James, I know I could have counted on your support as a councillor. I also know that you are totally against this ridiculous road and with the help of your partner you have a big voice there. I am gutted that you did not get elected and totally shocked at the result all round. Don't be too disheartened - I can imagine how you feel having been a parish councillor for 25 yrs and not knowing which way the voters are going (if they go at all\0

The ratio of IOC's to Conservatives is much the same as prior to the election. Thanks Greenknight. I know you are all here to support until they can get things right. The P.C have requested that the link road going through our garden be decoupled from the plan. Unless they withdraw the whole thing the council have plans to build a 5th link from the roundabout on the A465 which will mean double disruption. I may have said before that it was our Ward councillor suggestion that this road be built to improve the visibility on the junction. I asked why cant they improve the junction - why waste so much rate payers money when there is a temporary solution. Unless of course it can be thrown out altogether which was my hope yesterday - but not so sure today. Sorry to keep repeating myself but I need to keep this in the limelight at this stage as the planning application is imminent. Does anyone know if Liz Chave IOC stood for the ward in this election. I haven't seen her name anywhere.

Cllr Andrews got in Widemarsh/Independent. Gutted for Amanda and James. I know Stephen Williams is a Tory but the previous Cllr was a watered down Tory,so no change there. I have tried to keep a spreadsheet and it looks like we have:_ 29 Cons,11 IOC,9 Independent,2Green. How does this compare to pre_election 2015. What are our chances with the SLR now.

Thanks Denise, Not to worry about the planning application I could not remember where I had seen it and couldn't find it again. It seems it was hidden away somewhere. I will ask the PC for an extension They have a meeting on 21st May. At their last meeting they agreed to write to HC asking them to de-couple the extension link road from the plans. This road was only suggested because the junction where the B4349 meets the A465 is deemed to be dangerous for vehicles turning right and accessing the new roundabout leading to the A49. We have suggested that it would be much cheaper, in this case, to improve the junction (maybe a new roundabout) than to build a road which serves no purpose whatsoever. Jean

Sorry, it worked out better than I thought. 2 identical letters from PB. You just need to lie down to read it

Please can someone tell me how to upload a copy of the letter I have received from Parson's Brinckerhoff. I have clicked on the paperclip and then located the saved file but it doesn't seem to appear here. Thank you Jean

I am not sure how to put the letter on here so I will e.mail a snap shot to Colin and ask him to do it for me

That would be amazing

Hi Everyone. Just to let you know that the planning application for the Southern Link Road from the A465 to A49 with associated links to the B4349 HAS been submitted as I posted on here a few days ago and Denise said I was getting confused with the city Link Road. I have today received a letter from PB informing me and that we have 21 days to object. The council are obviously rushing this through before the election although the planning committee will discuss this in June but objections and support would have been submitted by then

I have been told that the proposed decision plans for the SLR have gone in as have the CPO plans for the city link road. Everything hinges now on next Thursday!!!

Has anyone been onto the electoral office. Religion and politics definitely do not go hand in hand and is totally illegal. I am not entirely sure about this but I believe Jonathan Johnson and his family are members of the FC

You have some great ideas Amanda. Let's hope you get on the Council on Thursday. Good luck

Is this the same councillor that Had the planning application issue a while ago. Report it to the RSPCA and maybe they can help the owner of the dog.

Thanks Amanda, I really like what I see in the IOC and I wish you good luck next Thursday. I can understand the response you get on the doorsteps. I know it is very rude but people have lost faith with all the unkept promises by the present government and are not prepared to listen to anyone else. Having said that it pays to canvas. I remember when I was canvassing for Parish Council some years ago I had a similar response but I carried on regardless. Out of the 12 candidates I actually had the highest number of votes. So chin up Amanda. You will be amazing!!!

Signed and passed on to all my fb friends. Could they put sensors on these lights after 7.00pm

I have heard some controversial comments that all wards apart from Leominster have a candidate from IOC and yet in the HT I thought it said there were 12 wards without any candidates one of these being my neighbouring parish of Callow. Can anyone put me right on this please.

Thanks Megilleland. Very interesting reading. I have been to see Jesse Norman but I don't think it did a lot of good to be honest. I know he did support the Eastern route but in the SWTP he states he is happy with the route selected as long as the land and property owners are treated with a degree a sensitivity. I suppose you could call it that when the council don't even bother to contact you and inform you that the road is going through your garden and they WILL be taking your land, even though the field which they are going through is 4 acres. If anyone hasn't seen the video yet - log onto Hereford Visions "Out on a limb". Hope you will find this interesting. Thanks for all the support we are getting, please continue to support and hopefully May 7th will see a change.

I read with interest Amanda, that Cllr Sinclair Knipe didn't mention the road going through our garden. Would you expect it from a Tory. They are probably rubbing their hands together waiting for the ~£27500 they will be getting from each house built on the SLR. They should have enough money in the coffers to cover their bottled water and biscuits at this rate. Sorry to tell you but you are going to have to fight hard for your seats this time around.

Amanda this is absolutely disgraceful. My husband was in the Hereford Police force many years ago and I don't recall this sort of thing going on at all. I hope your husband is making an official complaint and make sure the officers concerned are reprimanded - yes and an apology would be nice. Doubt you will get it - I am still waiting for one from HC. Hope your poor dog was ok after this trauma.

Following a meeting with HC officials and PB I asked why the link road from the B4349 to A465 is necessary as they claim it is to make the junction safer at the junction k.a the Lousey Oak. Surely it would be far better at this stage, as they don't know where they are going after this, to make that junction safer by building a roundabout. Think how much of the ratepayers money could be saved and used for other things. We must keep this topic alive at the moment as the PA is imminent. There are so many flaws in the way this has been handled so let's hope the Planning committee will see some sense and listen to us and all the other bodies that are so strongly against this until a river bridge crossing is in place.
