Not a lot of use at the weekend when the council offices are closed, where do you go then?

So what happened to the storm, did it completely miss Hereford?

Herefordshire Council is asking residents to help petition for a fair share of funding in rural areas from central government. The rural fair share campaign is being actively promoted by the Rural Services Network with assistance from over 100 MPs from different political parties across the UK, with the aim to ensure that public services in rural areas receive a fair share of government funding. Councillor Tony Johnson, leader of Herefordshire Council, said: “This is not a political issue that we are asking people to get involved in, it is quite simply about trying to bring more money into Herefordshire for the benefit of residents and businesses across the county. “As it currently stands, the government provides rural areas with less funding than other more populated areas of the country. However, although we may have fewer residents than other counties, we have other important issues to consider and finance such as an ageing population and helping people to travel around a large rural area for work.†If you would like to sign the petition and help the council to try and bring more funding into the county, please visit your local info centre or library. The petition will be available until 5pm on Thursday 19 September 2013. The Herefordshire petition will then be presented in the House of Commons in October along with petitions from other rural counties.

Great reply but seriously if these were companies you had employed to carry out repairs at home they simply would not get paid would they.

Craig, first of all WSC are NOT the landowners, so therefore CANNOT make a charge for the use car park, any charge for misuse can only be made by the landowner themselves and this can only represent any quantifiable financial loss as a result of such misuse. H.Wilson had a apparent ticket for £80 for this supposed contravention which is entirely punitive considering the car park is free of any charge for its use. Secondly, it is NOT A TICKET and finally, its about the scammers issuing unrealistic unlawful tactics to earn big profits, I suggest you read all of the topics because the IP is actually a member of the club. If the club are so worried about someone parking in their leased car park for 10 minutes on a Sunday morning their best option, like the hospital would be to install a barrier but I think its damaging to the club and its good reputation allowing some heavy handed PPC to have a licence to print money. Even the BBC Watchdog is discussing exactly this

Yes when everyone left the clubs at 1am yes Commercial Road was mayhem but that has change now totally since the licensing laws were relaxed. The Lunch box near the traffic lights is packed during the early hours of a Friday and Saturday night, so is the garage, so to me it makes no difference and hot food places should be able to stay open as long as they want, its ridiculous

Welcome Biomech

Bill you are right my friend, freedom of speech, I think I would be telling the BRPC where to stick their link too, how childish are they! Colin I love your closing pictures

This does not sound good, whats happening to Hereford?

He hee that has made my day, hilarious and yes very similar in more ways than one.

This council is useless Wendy. Potholes everywhere, coffee shops, charity shops and east european shops, yet we have a burnt out building smack bang in our city centre. Nice new bull sculpture next to our most famous landmark the old house and then a monstrosity of scaffolding that has been there for two years! Either knock it all down and build a nice modern shop with apartments or repair it! :Angry_32:

Congratulations to Mr Edwards.

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

Strange that..

Ah yes look that way Colin..

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.

Glenda nobody has asked for Amey's help here? You can get paint and graffiti remover from most DIY or in some builders merchants.

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

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.

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.
