It is about time that ALL of our police officers were armed like their colleagues in Europe. I still cannot comprehend that many of our officers work alone and not in pairs like they do in other European countries.

I agree and I am surprised that we have not been hit yet because we would be a soft target. 

I noticed that the Xmas lights in Eign Gate are already on? Whats that all about?

The diversion for the few hours was a maximum of 300 meters for anyone who was not able to go through Castle Green. I understand it is not a public right of way anyway.

 

It looked like well over 1000 people were having an excellent time - and it was nice to hear the big cheer and applause at the end of the fireworks. Everyone seemed happy and hopefully some much needed funding was raised by the hard working volunteers to help support the local community. It is a given that the Government are not going to provide funding for the upkeep of open spaces like the Castle Green - so anything that the community can do for itself must be a good thing.

 

To quote Spock - "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".

I went and it was excellent. We had a choice of a couple of venues but glad we decided to go the the Castle Green we went on the the Saracens Head for a jar after 

there is a sign out side my place, its covered, as its yellow underneath,  but  i asked the local council workers i now, and they dont know what its there for  or who has the key,  to open it,  it was put up about 5 years ago and never been opened 

 

would it be better to put a electronic  information board there instread

Can you upload a photo so we can see what you mean?

I never realised that number plates were printed on the tickets. Interesting story and well spotted! 

Neither did I. This will cause problems if this is a regular occurrence. 

Thank you to all of those people who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Lest We Forget

You have been busy again today. 

Watch out Colin. You may be held liable if someone now keeps to the speed limit having been able to read the sign.

Surely BBLP must be responsible for cleaning signs.

Perhaps one of our Cllrs can clarify?

This must be in their contract surely? To be fair, the 40mph signs that Colin has cleaned look like they have not been cleaned in years! So how often are they supposed to be cleaned? Can a Councillor please clarify this also please?

PS. Great effort Colin, this has made a big difference clearly. 

Cafe Nero offers the best coffee in my opinion but quite happy to give place a try. 

How pathetic and sad are some people 

Good luck to them with their new venture, I wish them all the luck in the World.

Why have we still got those hanging gibbets on the one side? I see that even though there arent enough bike stands now, there will only be space for 8 bikes in that picture. I thought that when the trees were removed from High Town for the bull statue that they would be replaced. Trees improve the environment by keeping the air cool in summer and improving air quality. To me they also "soften" the streetscape and they have been shown to improve people' s feelings of wellbeing - something needed in High Town with all the empty shops and the burnt out buildings.

Tree's are great but the trouble in Hereford is once planted they leave them to grow wild and out of control, many tree's throughout the city are way overgrown through neglect! So for me personally, I would love to have tree's in High Town but if they are not going to maintain them like the rest off this city then I would prefer to be without.

I came through the subway near Eign Gate yesterday evening and yes it is dark, paricularly the other side of the road by Steels, it is very dark walking around that curve into the subway, definitely in need of some more brighter lights. 

I had a chuckle at Cllr Price's video, I think that bloke is on a different planet to the rest of us.

Well done that is big reach, excellent, keep it up   

I like the sound of this already Colin.     

Congratulations DILLIGAF and good luck with your new role.

although a different story, when I was visiting a friend in hospital recently we were talking to a nurse from the EU, and she told us she came here without a passport in our conversation with her.

Not sure how that works? 

There was also the Hunderton Bridge discussion. That was an accident waiting to happen but through discussions on here extra fencing was installed to prevent kids in particular climbing up onto the bridge. Another good achievement. 

Over 3 years Colin, so this is a good result for the Golden Galleon, Hereford Voice and Hereford. Well done, I know this meant a lot to you.

Anyone found to illegal in this country should in my opinion be deported, other countries do not mess around. 

I am genuinly pleased that dippy and flam's accounts are clear and look forward to seeing them back doing what they do best. It will be good to get the forum back to normal. I applaud Colin for sharing and being very transparent during this process because that is the best way imo. 

Another shop closes, oh dear this is never good to hear. 

Thank you for this information. 

Colin knows that I am real, we have met on several occasions including yesterday during the gww clean up. I too have suspected a couple of members.
