    Typically badly written and misleading press release from the Council. From the Zap-Map website;

    Rapid DC chargers provide power at 50 kW (125A), use either the CHAdeMO or CCS charging standards, and are indicated by purple icons on Zap-Map. These are the most common type of rapid EV charge points currently, having been the standard for the best part of a decade. Both connectors typically charge an EV to 80% in 20 minutes to an hour depending on battery capacity and starting state of charge.

    The Council’s current chargers eg at the multi-storey car park are 7kW, which will typically take 4-6 hours to charge, again depending on the battery capacity.

    30 minutes is largely useless for the 7kW chargers and drivers will inevitably have to buy a ticket anyway - an hour would have been more sensible. If you can afford an EV, you can afford to buy a ticket!

    Some interesting reading, you learn something new everyday.

  2. This is never going to happen, it frustrates the hell out of me as the main A49 trunk road comes right thorough our city, I do not believe for one second these stats showing that the majority of the traffic is local traffic, virtually EVERY lorry coming from Wales and heading north through Shropshire and Cheshire will drive through Hereford.

    I agree we need a better more reliable bus services etc because what we have now is a joke and I also like the idea of turning off the traffic lights, which I am aware Hereford Voice have campaigned to at least get a trial for many years, so with some luck this may come to fruition.

    Personally, I always preferred the Eastern bypass route.

  3. Good to see local businesses active with their online advertising, probably gain more exposure than being in with the masses in the local papers. I have had a read through some of the positive reviews, welcome to Hereford.

  4. Where does she want this bench moved too? So to get this right, is she suggesting that merely because there is now a rather nice bench on the common is is encouraging people who litter? How ridiculous! In the time it took her to take the photograph on her newsletter she could have simply just picked up the small amount of litter.

    I ride my bike home this way most nights and I do not recall seeing any additional litter since this seat was put here but even if this was the case (which I cannot see for the life of me) she should concentrate her efforts into catching the culprits and enforcement.

    I am sure this has something to do with Andrew Wood and his 'litter loving credit scoring cronies' somewhere along the line, they are buddies, you can see that from all of his and her rantings over the past year.

    Having read all the comments I certainly disagree with your comment especially as apparently they have been offered help,and assistance . The homeless person(s) must be willing to change their lifestyle . 

    At 1115 today the occupants of the tent were in Wetherspoons taking advantage , I thought , of their offer of refill cups of coffee for £1.25 but I was wrong , it was pints of beer or cider . 

    They know , fully that help is there for them , they just have to accept it .

     

    Why am I not surprised?
