    *SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY* Police have been made aware of markings found by residents on their walls and driveways in Tarirngton. At present the police do not know what these markings are but they could possibly be linked to thefts of dogs which has been happening with their border forces. Please stay vigilant and report any markings or suspicious activity to 101. If you see any of these markings we suggest you clean it off and check your security at your properties. #HerefordVoice #Herefordshire #BeVigilant

The mini digger was believed to have been taken from farm land in Ewyas Harold in the early hours of Sunday 30 August.

    As families gear up to send their kids back to school next week, West Midlands Railway is helping out with a selection of discounts on season tickets for this academic term. Perfect for school, college or university students who regularly travel by train, the offers include 50% off season tickets for students aged 16 or over, and 25% off for students aged 15 or under. As well as helping parents make considerable savings, purchasing a season ticket saves students having to buy a ticket each day and reduces their social contact at the station. Helping passengers to travel safely and comfortably, West Midlands Railway has put a number of strict measures in place. As well as cleaning trains with the latest antiviral equipment, the operator has implemented social distancing on platforms, stairs and escalators, and applied new signs and one-way systems at train stations. The operator is reminding all passengers to maintain social distancing whenever possible and wear a face covering at all times, including children aged 11 and over. West Midlands Railway will also be introducing a new timetable on Sunday 6 September, helping to increase service levels in time for the return of schools and workplaces. The new timetable – which will generate thousands of extra seats on West Midlands Railway services – will return the network’s capacity to near pre-Covid levels. Jonny Wiseman, head of customer experience at West Midlands Railway, says: t social distancing and stepped up our cleaning, to help our customers adjust to the new way of travelling.” To find out more about student season tickets or to purchase, visit wmr.uk/students.

    Competition: We think it's about time that we gave our Hereford Bull Statue a name! 🐃 So come on folks, start suggesting names for him and next weekend we will compile a short list of all the favourite names listed below. 👇 So if you like one of the names suggested by someone please 'REPEAT' that name in your comment below. 👇 Once we have a short list of names, we will run a poll on our website for a week and finally come up with a winning name! (all unofficially of course, but if it's good enough maybe we can persuade the Council to make it official! Who knows) We will start, as he is of the 'Border Rory' breed of Hereford's we will suggest 'Rory' Good luck!

    A seller of illegal tobacco has been banned from Hereford and Worcester following a successful investigation by Herefordshire Council’s Trading Standards Service. Tarik Abdullah Dosky, 54, was sentenced at Worcester Crown Court on Friday 7 August 2020 following the investigation into the sale of illegal tobacco in the region. Dosky was arrested in November 2019 during a Multi-Agency Targeted Enforcement Strategy (MATES) Operation led by Trading Standards, with West Mercia Police and Herefordshire and Worcestershire Fire and Rescue Service. Dosky, who has a history of selling illegal tobacco, pleaded guilty to nine offences at a previous hearing, which included selling counterfeit tobacco products to undercover Trading Standards Officers. His Honour Judge James Burbidge QC handed Dosky a 10 month prison sentence (suspended for two years), an exclusion order banning him from entering any part of Hereford and Worcester for two years, a four month curfew and ordered him to pay £250 costs. Previously on 29 May 2020, a separate Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) case, also led by Herefordshire Trading Standards, saw investigators recover £14,376.00 from Dosky’s bank account which had been frozen following confiscation proceedings. Trading Standards Service Manager David Hough said: To report a seller of illegal tobacco in Herefordshire, please contact Trading Standards on 01432 261761.

    Welcome to the forum and thanks you for your contribution, hope to see you on here with ur other regulars. There are some changes in the city at the moment and to be fair to the council that had to implement these within a tight time frame. This was all funded from Central Government who are also guiding many councils across the country to do similar things, I am aware that this is happening on Gloucester at the moment also. Not sure about Commercial Road however, the bus lane was totally unnecessary and quite bizarre too. I think the verdict is out at the moment and we have to give these temporary measures more time, the council are listening to people and adjusting and constantly reviewing these measures which can only be a good thing. People do not like change and we do not agree with all of the changes so it will interesting to see how it all pans out. There will be more changes and adjustments for sure. We try to put a positive spin on thing where we can and we do get frustrated with all the constant moaning all the time without giving it a chance..

    Another busy day in Hereford! It's great to see so many people about again. We took all of these photographs within the last hour (15.30-1600), the shops including the Hereford Butter Market are all busy which is great to see. We walked into the City Centre and virtually every street was busy with people as you can see from all the various photographs we have taken. Lots of people all walking or relaxing and enjoying the patchy but warm weather. Have a wonderful weekend 🌞 😎 #HerefordVoice #Hereford #PositiveHereford

    Herefordshire Council have removed the ugly red barriers along Broad St, King St and Bridge Street and replaced them will more aesthetically pleasing plants, which are much better. All this is necessary so pedestrians can socially-distance and cyclists can ride their bikes safely. These measures are necessary in the fight against this dreadful Coronavirus pandemic as directed and funded by central Government. Once again the city is busy with people which is great to see.
