  1. They are ALWAYS there! Druggies too, every time I go past there is usually a few drinkers or druggies there and it looks terrible.
  2. Screwfix is open and has been for several weeks.
  3. I think Cllr Nick Nenaditch is one...
  4. Well it was not meant to taken personally, I was merely pointing out the OBVIOUS reason behind putting the barbed wire across the top of this fence. I am aware of the law I am not sure this qualifies because where Glastonbury Close is at the back of the hotel it used to be fields and the hotel and the fencing at the back was definitely there way before Glastonbury Close, the reason I know this is my uncle has lived in Golden Post for over 40 years and we were only recently discussing the corn field that used to be there. So if the hotel was there before the Close why should this law apply and what is the purpose of barbed wire anyway?
  5. I am glad that this debate has popped back up. Colin can you start a campaign for Hereford to get this stupid local curfew changed especially as there is no mass kick out these days like Biomech has stated above and I know you have stated this in the past. I could start one myself but I would not know where to begin and HV is the ideal platform to highlight how far out of touch this council really is. I have always supported CVP in the majority of issues that she has been working hard on but I cannot support her stance on this, I appreciate what CVP has said, that it was not her vote alone, so she is not at blame here but I am quite surprised at her voting for his personally as she normally puts local business's first. This is a stupid curfew and clearly does not work either! No wonder the HT made Colin James letter a 'Star Letter' on the issue, this council should start supporting this city and its traders especially now the new shopping centre is not far from opening, it's going to be even tougher for those in the city centre. If I want to order a takeaway at 2.15am after a good night out with friends then quite frankly, I should be able to do just that!
  6. My mate lives in Kingstone and speeds are terrible there and this is 2014!
  7. I had the same thoughts but it was posted in the open forum so i guess that's okay..
  8. With respect CVP we are not talking about re opening the pub after the stabbing?? We are talking about being able to purchase hot food after 1.30am. I would like to know where you stand on this as per my previous questions:
  9. So your not supporting getting this silly rule changed now then? What utter rubbish Cllr! You can still stop in at the Lunchbox, Tesco's or any number of garages on your way home, so what's the difference to being able to buy hot food from a take-away or even allowing deliveries to still continue? I feel really quite strong about this to be honest, so can you clarify where you are with this rule please CVP? Are you in favour of leaving it as it is or are you in support of relaxing this rule now that licensing laws are much more relaxed nowadays and the original problem of lots of people all conversing outside the local chipper have now long gone because people leave clubs and bars at various times throughout the night?
  10. I managed to get a curry at 2.40am! Get in! Now that's what I should be able to do EVERY WEEKEND! Common Councillors PLEASE put some pressure on to get this stupid licensing changed, especially now that we have the more relaxed licensing laws in recent years, it would also go some way to encouraging young people to stay in Hereford.
  11. Sorry but this is a shopping centre smack bang in the middle of our city and in my opinion should be kept as one! A library oh yes that will please all of the other surrounding stores like Wilco... They should of took over the old tax office in Broad St right next door to the Museum, this would of been the perfect building, you could of then turned the current Museum/Library into this good idea of a visitors centre but I just don't like the idea of the library going into Maylord Orchards.
  12. I never knew that, thanks you for the heads up
  13. I have seen fully covered footbridges in other cities and it's a no brainer in my opinion, Colin is smack on with this idea and why Hereford never adopted this I will never know, the city is disjointed for sure. Thank you to megilleland for providing the images.
  14. I will probably get slammed for this but... this is the problem with Hereford oh lets save this building oh and lets save this black and white wall and this special medieval window, I really wish this lot had burned to the ground, I really do because by now we would of had a nice new modern building, instead of the monstrosity still hanging by a thread waiting for someone to start working on it. Nobody wants it! And even when it is finally restored it will continue to be listed and no future tenant will want to touch these buildings with a barge pole and who can blame them? More hassle than they are worth add this to the Hereford Council rates and bam! Welcome to Hereford's ghost town. They have also ruined what could of been a spectacular new shopping centre, it looks just like the old cattle market, pig sheds! (I know this was their aim, so I hope they are happy with the brick shed we now have)
  15. I for one Mark do not agree with those figures, I would suggest that the trough traffic is much much higher and has merely been dressed up this way. These figures are based on traffic coming from Cardiff to Manchester or Newport to Warrington, that's your 15%! Lets have some real numbers here! So what about all the people driving from Kingstone to Leominster or Holme Lacy to Bromyard or Clehonger to Ledbury this also forms what is considered through traffic. I live in Belmont and deliver goods all over the midlands, I drop my wife at the college everyday then drive out of town, so really, I am also through traffic too.We are in desperate need of more houses and although you are suggesting that funding would come from the private sector for a bypass in the way of more houses, money should also come from central government for bypass and I would be in favour of an eastern bypass. 16000 house is far to high but I think a much lower number would be acceptable and would help towards the cost. We really do need another river crossing too!
  16. Northbound traffic all last week was great, once you had got over the bridge the problem was driving back up Edgar St where the temp lights were. WHY have they got those there? Pointless, this is the only point wee there is a problem, can't they see that?
  17. I clearly works Colin, keep up the good work with your traffic lights campaign, hopefully the council will see sense at some point and will at the very very least give it a trial as above or by turning them off for a few months. I totally and utterly agree that the main city traffic lights all round the ring roads could be made part-time like you have suggested and turned off at 7 or 8pm until 6am, thats a no brainer for me.
