  1. 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!
  2. Another good exclusive Colin, best decision made.
  3. Its a no brainer for me, I have always been with Colin on this, turn them off!
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. Yep I agree with that. Well done Glenda
  7. Taken from this weeks HT, this is not good news but great for the criminals
  8. A good laugh and a curry is mind kind of evening, might just go to see Andy Parsons he is quailty
  9. I think it is also to attract tourists and people in general too.
  10. Well you will love this then, I use a small van for work and when I bought it the price on the forecourt was £4800 +VAT, now when i sold it I am not VAT registered so therefore I cannot charge VAT. But the next person, if they are VAT registered or if it sells at auction will charge VAT each and every time this van is sold which could be 4 - 5 times in its life, so how much are the Government making just from vans alone!
  11. I think Colin was thinking about extending the forums to cover all of Hereford sometime ago, I think if he did that it would be really good.
