Campaign: Yet another RTC on the A49 near Moreton on Lugg today. This is the third accident in less than a week! This follows another RTC on the A49 near Leominster on Boxing Day after a collision between car and fuel tanker. A man was taken to hospital only last Tuesday (22nd) following another RTC. There was also an accident on the 14th of December north bound at Dinmore and and accident where a vehicle ended upside down in a ditch at the end of November. There have been many more accidents over the years in the accident hotspot. Hereford Voice is calling for changes to be made on this notorious section of the A49 to improve safety for motorists. Your thoughts? #herefordvoice #herefordnews

A West Mercia Police Specials Officer came across an RTC last night outside Leominster, minutes after it happened. The driver lost control going too fast through the flood water. It is important to slow down and be extremely cautious in this weather!

VETERAN fundraiser Alan Blake has been given some civic support in his marathon project to raise £100,000 for local charities. Alan, who is 89, is aiming to complete a 15-mile challenge to raise funds for the parish church of Burghill, Rotary and Parkinson’s – but all without leaving his garden. He will navigate a circular walk around his steep garden steps 458 times, which will be the equivalent of walking from Hereford to Lyde then Moreton on Lugg, Burghill, Tillington, Stretton Sugwas and back to his family home in Hampton Park. Alan began his challenge on October 1 and, on Saturday, he gained the backing of Hereford’s first citizen when the Mayor, Cllr Kath Hey along with Junior Mayor, Theo Ashton joined him on a circuit. Mayor Kath Hey commented that in representing Hereford City Council She expressed how delighted both she and the Junior Mayor were to accompany Alan on one of his garden circuit walks in support of his fundraising endeavours and that Alan’s determination and efforts were truly impressive and inspirational.
