  1. Well.  I for one am hoping that the garage gets the go-ahead!  99p per litre!?  That's a bargain and no mistake.

    In fact, I will go out and buy 2 or 3 massive, gas-guzzling cars, and go out of my way to go to Asda to fill up.  In rotation.  Every day.  During the rush-two-hours.

    I'd be stupid not to at those prices!

     

    Competition is good and would keep all the other garages on their toes.

  2. Chris, this has been discussed several times, the last time was in this thread here. Personally I have no objection as I do not believe there will be that much extra traffic simply because Asda have a garage. The traffic using a garage will either be existing Asda customers or traffic passing, so I do not think there will be any additional traffic created on this junction because there happens to be a new garage on site.

     

    Bottom line is this application should not be refused because of this council's lack in dealing with this city's traffic issues, that would be unfair. The council need to sort out this traffic problem properly, it has been going on for years! They need to turn this junction back into a proper roundabout and get rid of the pathetic traffic light system that obviously is a hindrance rather than an aid.

     

    I think there were only a couple of objections previously but this land was originally going to be used for housing/flats anyway.

     

    Read through all the various comments in the previous debate.

     

    I would love to know where they get these figures from? I am with the other members on this one, I do not buy into the view that having a garage will increase traffic movement by 40% at peak times. Anyone wanting to use a garage here is more than likely going to be already on this stretch of road anyway, so having a garage will have very little effect in my opinion.

     

    There is no objections to the proposed flats that will be built where the Ship Inn is and I see no difference here.

  3. Hi all, you have to remember the station is not just aiming at Hereford. We are available within Worcestershire and parts of Gloucestershire. Research was done using information available from the last census. In the official transmission area as documented by Ofcom, there is around 200 000 15-30 year olds who will be within the target age range for the station. As Ridge Hill is used as one of the transmission points, we will get reasonable coverage in parts of Gloucester and Cheltenham as well. If you increase the age range to 35, this figure increases to over 300 000 people. We haven't even counted Glasgow yet!

     

    Also remember Hereford will be soon a university town as well, meaning this will hopefully have a small positive impact on our target age range totals. I know many people over 30 who listen to Radio 1, Kiss, Captial etc. We have to state a target to ensure we have a definitive plan and market ourselves in the correct way. You won't see us doing wedding fairs, but you will see us doing club nights etc. The target market age was also needed to be quoted to Ofcom for a licence to define our service. 

     

    As I previously mentioned, if you are after the same market as another station, you are fighting for the same advertisers, listeners etc. This way we can get hold of our market and ensure we deliver the service we want to.

    Good luck and I look forward to the launch.
