M. Preece

Congratulations to Mr Edwards.

This is quite funny, made me smile this evening. :Laughing_32:

Glenda, when we last spoke on this subject you told me what you had agreed with Ruth kinsella above, but you told me that they would not be doing it this side of April as there was no money in the budget..guess what? It has been done but all they have done is gone over the SMALL signs that are are already there, which are of no use to anyone as we have proved. (so they did have the money after all then?)

Strange that..

As I thought, they NEVER did come back and again, so we were fobbed off yet again.

Ah yes look that way Colin..

We know where your going though...

I assumed Pontrilas from your comment

We got a parking tickets in Asda about 18 months ago and were advised to ignore it, so we did and yes we had a couple of letters but then they stopped, I think its a scam but you would be surprised how many people just pay up.

Good post, I seem to spend an hour a month going thru junk mail, I have just emailed them and already had a reply so thanks for the details.

When I contacted Amey to clear the 'welcome to Hereford ' sign they advised me they had been told it was 6 boys between 14-17 years old, but they did not say who told them. It is quite hard to get rid of this writing because its done with black & white spray paint. Problem being the houses in Belmont are all private, where the sign was put in by the city council therefore Amey cleaned it off.

Glenda nobody has asked for Amey's help here?

You can get paint and graffiti remover from most DIY or in some builders merchants.

M.Preece, Regarding your point about race and how we would react if this was aimed at say, black or Asian people you make a very good point and try as I might, I can't think of a single way that I can argue with you....but, like my lovely debate with Rebecca, I ain't entirely convinced the authors of this message are strictly speaking being racist. I am still of the view that this is politically motivated but I do accept that I am probably wrong.

My very warmest regards to you.

Bobby, their reasons could be racists or political, half the time the idiots doing this sot of thing have nothing better to do!

The reason why I suggested to the police to ask Three Counties or McDonalds is that I am sure they would complain quick enough if these lads did it to their property. I am thinking that the hotel may already have a camera as security round their car park and accomodation.

I see your point but you suggested that they pay for camera between them and I do not think that they will. As for them having camera on their property, yes they may well be happy to point them in the direction of the sign, but I think both are probably too far away to be able to give clear identity.

I have just come off the phone to Amey, nothing will be done until tomorrow morning. I have also rang the police and suggested either ajusting their own camera pointing towards the sign or contact Three Counties Hotel and McDonalds to see if they will pay for a camera between them. I wait for a reply.

Why would McDonald's or the Three Counties Hotel pay towards a camera? I am sure that the fact that a Council sign has been defaced is nothing to do with them? They may well allow a camera to be positioned on their property though. something needs to be done as this is racists and disgusting in my opinion, if the sign said something about black people there would be major implications! The same should apply here.

I agree with you Colin, certainly handwriting looks the same, pity they cannot put a camera up and catch them!

Over 100 signatures now well done guy's

Really good, I heard it all morning on the radio at work.

The update i received in June is now four months out of date, there has been a further meeting that I could not attend as I was undergoing eye surgery to restore my sight which was a success.

The next steering group meeting is on 6th Oct where I will request a full uodate of the Oval development to date, I will then send it to Admin or post it here myself.

What happended at the meeting? Can we have an update please?

All signed and I have shared this link becasue this is a great idea, maybe the council will listen to you now Colin

I have just read your letter in the Hereford Times Colin, well done, Star Letter too 

How dangerous does that look, absolutey unbelievable :Angry_32: WHY?

I was not aware that you could not purchase hot food after 1am that is ridiculous in the highest order. WHY? So that must be a nightmare because after drinks your get the munchies, that must wind people up more, NOT being able to purchase hot food so a reverse effect.

I bet they are still there!

That is beautiful 

The post is on Great Western Way just before you go over the river bridge. Could be dangerous if you came off your bike and fell on it.

Yes very dangerous, I hope they remove all of these posts asap.

I agree with all the above comments including Colin James's letter in the Hereford Times very well written and it covered the traffic issues as well as the fuel prices.

That is not only dangerous but unsightly too, poor standards a lot of the time in my opinion. Some of these posts have obviously been in situ for years and nobody has done anything about it.

I think i would have to agree

Surely they ar not going to leave it like this? cable ties is ridiculas
