Hereford Cathedral Commonwealth Service Cancelled
Mick replied to Hereford Voice's topic in Historical Hereford
Thanks for the heads up -
Excellent!
-
I like the new layout and still having a looking at all the additional features. Thanks for keeping us in the loop during this upgrade

Cant believe your moaning over 20p! Do you expect them to keep the prices the same all the time? The tram idea is probably one of the most sensible ideas I have read about in years, there are just 2 roads into the city centre from the south, massive bottle neck everyday, too many traffic lights and no bypass or additional river crossing expected anytime soon, so the train idea gives another alternative without interfering with pedestrians or cyclists in my opinion its a win win.

I wonder if this is the same owners?

Good morning and happy new year to you all

Hi and welcome to Hereford. Which part of the city are you located? There are some really nice local pubs around the city, Saracens Head in St Martins Street is good and there are also some nice craft bars.
-
2 miles walk from Northolme? It is more like 3/4 of a mile at most just off the Belmont Road. It is only 2 miles from Tesco to the leisure centre. Vaga is a good pub though, good atmosphere.
-
I only wish they would issue more of these particularly for littering and nuisance parking (on pavements)

Regardless of whether this an A or B road or residential area, I have paid my road tax which entitles me to drive along these streets. I never mentioned any road works? What I did say was that THESE houses were not there a year ago. And, "if they put roundabouts back and reduced the amount of traffic lights things would run a lot smoother, this is evident when the traffic lights at Asda breakdown" and I stand by this statement.
-
You are now to to defuse our conversation..Yes I do think it is okay to use these roads, I pay my car tax so I am entitled to drive where I choose, that is the first thing, secondly I have used this run for years, these houses were not there a year ago and already I see complaints, when really the complaints should be aimed at the highways agency, if they put roundabouts back and reduced the amount of traffic lights things would run a lot smoother, this is evident when the traffic lights at Asda breakdown, so I support Colin and HV with their lights out campaign. It would also help if they staggered school times.

Glenda, I am not going to get into an argument with you but what I will tell you is that I use the route everyday and everyday I have absolutely no problem getting out onto the Belmont Road. I understand what you are saying is that the cars do back up into Charlton Ave but that is down to just numbers and all the building work that is going on around you, if they were not being let out onto the main road the queues would be up around Brampton Road.
-
You are wrong Glenda, they let me out at the Oval with very little effort and this is why local people use this rat run,it saves quite a lot of time, think about it, if it wasn't effective no-one would use it.
-
I agree with no speeding but what difference is not blocking your drive going to do? You cant move anyway if there is a traffic queue?

Duck Pond Clean Up Phase 2 Action Day
Mick replied to Colin James's topic in Hereford Voice Projects
Superb community spirit here at its very best, congratulations to everybody who has helped this project -
Cycling on pavements can be inconsiderate and may cause inconvenience or fear for pedestrians, contributing to a hostile environment which reduces the mobility of vulnerable or disabled people such as the elderly and visually impaired. Such behaviour may ultimately cause injury or death, though such extremes are very rare and the risks exaggerated. Bicycles are considered vehicles under British law and is illegal to ride a bike on a pavement which has not been designated as a cycle way. Cycling on pavements is therefore illegal, punishable by a fine. The maximum penalty is £500, but it is often dealt with by a £50 fixed penalty notice.

This must be a real nightmare, imagine if you just walked out of your house without really looking but causing a cyclist to swerve off the footpath to avoid you into the path on an innocent motorist on the road. I wonder who the authorities would try to blame?

Google is your friend A cyclist who was warned about riding on a city street has been jailed after knocking down a woman who died later. Darryl Gittoes, 21, hit Mary Evans, 73, in Hereford city centre last July and she died in hospital nine days later, the Crown Prosecution Service said. Gittoes, who pleaded guilty to causing bodily harm by wanton or furious driving, was jailed for 12 months. The defendant, of Homestead, Hereford, was riding a defective bike recovered from a scrap metal lorry, the CPS said. His bike was examined and found to have had no brakes, a deflated rear tyre, a cracked front tyre and no bell. Gittoes was jailed at Worcester Crown Court on Monday following his guilty plea on 18 May. 'Tragic consequences'The court heard he had been warned a number of times about riding his bike along Commercial Street, where a Traffic Regulation Order prohibits cycling between 10:30 and 16:30, including on the day before the collision. Emily Lenham, senior crown prosecutor from West Midlands CPS, said: "Darryl Gittoes was fully aware that his bike was not in a roadworthy condition and he knew of the prohibitions which were in force along Commercial Street, however, on 30 July 2014 he disregarded the previous warning he had received from the police and rode his bicycle along this street and in doing so, he collided with Mary Evans, knocking her to the ground. "Mrs Evans would later die due to the head injuries caused by the collision. "This case clearly highlights the dangers of riding a cycle in a pedestrian area and the tragic consequences of Mr Gittoes' actions should serve as a reminder to cyclists to take heed of prohibitions in place within such areas, which are necessary to preserve the safety of pedestrians."

Widemarsh War Memorial
Mick replied to Colin James's topic in Widemarsh Common and Grandstand Business Park
Thank you for the update. I hope to be able to attend. -
I agree AV however, I do see many cyclists riding on the pavements, riding across pedestrian crossings without getting off their bikes and ignoring traffic lights. I actually saw a lad today on his mobile phone while riding on the path, the law should be applied to all road users, I also think cyclists should have some sort of insurance.
