Mick

It will be a shame to see the club disappear but over the years they have always played rubbish and even when they get a decent player they sell him! They will never do well unless someone invests a lot of money and nobody locally is going to do that, so I think while I admire your passion its inevitable that the end is nigh...

No one moves without an insentive, so do I take it you are all in favour of the killing of High Town for the OLM site?

What is he incentive to stay in the city centre Councillor? Nowhere to park for customers (unless you have a blue badge), Traffic wardens itching to book you if you are 2 mins late back to your car. Scaffolding eyesore in the city centre with no change expected soon. High business rates shell I go on?

Not quite Hereford but believe it or not but Horatio Nelson was from Monmouth there is a good listing here.

Frank Oz like Biomech has already mentioned and Sean Hince for Visual Effects is also from Hereford and David Garrick, now on the plate pictures above it says he was born in 1716 yet on IMDB here it states 1717?

Richard Hammond (Top Gear) lives in Weston under Penyard (Ross on Wye).

Andy Mcnab (Author and former SAS soldier).

Regardless of the size of pets at home, I agree with Colin, I would not be happy if I were them, they could easily wipe the smile off the landlords face if they decided to move out then the shop on the right will be empty for ages, depends on how you look at it but it seems a little short sighted to me.

Some really good shots of the floods. 

Welcome to the club Gareth, I like the idea of making a documentary. Good luck and if I can help please let me know.  

Thanks Colin just registered and ordered my card, not very often you get something for nothing.

So please can someone explain this to me again? I am confused here. 

Would I be correct thinking that the fire station want to move a few yards around the corner into the former births, marriages and deaths registry offices in Bath St? Then they will turn the current fire station into yet another car park? 

Could they not modernise the current fire station and build apartments on the other site in Bath St? We need more accommodation not more car parks!

Hereford Council destroyed Hereford long ago! They killed the shops in Widemarsh Street n broad st by putting in poxy 1 way systems where people couldn't access them and weren't allowed to park for any sufficient length of time and why pedestrianise everywhere? when there are no decent shops (except if u want to drink coffee all day n just hang out if u havent gor a job - Oh yeh there are no jobs because there are no shops because you can't get to them easily by car - silly me) #justsayin.

 

I moved away from Hereford over 3 yrs ago and have access to everything right here. Hot food, cold food, swimming facilities x 3, shopping facilities x 10, traffic jams don't exist n I can walk my dogs without having to worry who's behind me! Goodbye Hereford n enjoy your cold pasties!!

I endorse what Adrian has said. 

They make it sound like Hereford is the only city that has problems with late night revellers, come on, all cities have problems at the weekends, no wonder Hereford folk choose to go to places like Worcester, this council needs to get into the 21 century, they really do, I have never heard such rubbish in all my life.

"Oh look there are some drunk people causing trouble outside the chippy, I know the answer, lets close the chippy that will stop them"

ha ha what nonsense!

Having been a victim of the Belmont Road traffic for more years than I care to remember and observing other drivers the one thing that really clogs the traffic up are those drivers who think they are above sitting in traffic and shoot up at the Tesco roundabout and drop down either opposite Macdonalds or just past the Oval.  People who have been sat in the traffic in Belmont Road being mostly courteous then stop and allow these drivers into the flow of traffic.  There should be no right turn at certain times of the day. Because of time restraints I now travel the Bridge Sollars road.  To those of you who do not know this stretch of road at peak times of the day this is an evil stretch of  road and as the weather worsens I will then have to revert to the Belmont Road option ugh.  Yes of course houses are needed but in the right place and not to exacerbate an already bad traffic situation.

Denise, believe me those people that you refer to do not get into town any quicker, if anything, going through Newton Farm and the Oval often takes longer but I agree with Victor, if this takes some of the congestion away from the main road then let them carry on, 'be careful what you wish for' because if they do put a no right turn in place and close these small rat runs your queue on the main road all of a sudden becomes a lot longer and certainly much worse!

Colin you should stand for councillor I am sure you would walk it

Hereford council for you, short sighted on many things

Well done Colin, that is a lot of people on the site all at one time, funny enough I was only looking at this the other day and noticed how busy HV was becoming, all good stuff.       

Hi Just wondering if anyone knows if there is CCTV at the junction from Edgar street where you join the roundabout ?

My husband was hit side on as he was going around the roundabout by a car trying to get onto the roundabout from Edgar street. The other drivers ins. co. are trying to go for 50/50 blame which mystifies us. Would be really helpful to be able to get some cctv .

regards

Hello welcome to HV, I am sorry to hear of your accident and I trust that all passengers are ok. Can you explain a little more about the accident, were you approaching the roundabout from south of the river, with the complex in front of you? What lane were you in and where were you heading? 

Brilliant. Now that's good news ain't it? It seems as though our Colin is going to get his opportunity. Good luck Colin and well done Jim.

Thing is Colin it will only give you a partial idea, what would be perfect for you would be if they turned the traffic lights at the Asda junction at the same time then you would know for sure if your idea is successful.

Fingers crossed for you Colin and well done to Councillor Kenyon for his help, lets just hope the the highways agency approve it for a week.

Bit of a repost, but what happened that all new fancy chicken place on Commerical Road? The one near Yates?

I drove past the other night and the place looked abandoned and derelict

 

It's just opened in the last few days, we went in there on Saturday eve, very good to be fair.

Just to advise you the duck sign has finally arrived. But if you visit the site Balfour has put it on a new post and behind a bush.

 

I have raised this again with Balfour and asked them to move to the original place and at a height so motorists can see this.

 

As a Ward Councillor I cannot understand why they did not use the original post,.

Thank you for the update Adrian, I am surprised how long it took to replace a simple duck sign, I understand there was a change over from Amey to BB but even so it has taken 6 months! Now that's the scary part. 

This could make a change, we normally go to the racecourse so I will see what my good lady says

It takes a vast amount of energy to smelt aluminium in the first place, but, once done, it is 100% recyclable, and can be recycled indefinitely. It is grossly irresponsible just to bin it, when its more about envirosort making a profit than adapting their system to sort it.

I am sure in time they will. Why do you ALWAYS see things in poor light, your glass is always half empty instead of half full, never happy! We never had recycling until a few years ago in 2009 and I am sure in time even that will improve, so whats wrong with profit? Its not a bad word you know, they need profit in order to improve and employ. This is actually something really good and you still complain. 

I was out with my good lady last night late for the first time in a long time, never responded to this post before now but I think this is ridiculous, you can go and buy a sandwich or pasty from the 24 garage but no hot food from the Indian? I was very hungry after all the dancing too 

I may well go to the meeting.   where is the WRVS Centre?

Following a Fence being put up and a permissive path being established on bartonsham farm meadow this local group is to being formed to explore the ancient row ditch the first meeting of the group will be Wednesday 19th September at 6:30pm at the wrvs centre if anyone is interested in joining this group please do come along.

This sounds interesting do you have anymore information? What is this ancient row ditch?

Excellent news welcome to the club
