Well done HV. I’m sure local small businesses have appreciated this kind gesture, I’ve noticed some if these adverts on the FB

We have heard good reviews, so will have to visit next time we’re in town 

Happy Xmas to everyone on HV

Welcome 

Good luck to the man, he purchased his ticket and was lucky enough to win big, now go and enjoy the rest of your life.

That website is always offline and a nightmare to navigate, too many adverts 

I see this happening all the time, good to see this article, soon these NEW residents will be complaining about noise or something coming from their retail neighbours no doubt.

Oh dear oh dear, poor old Paul. The problem with adopting the confident "I'm a good old boy, I know everything, trust in me" casual posture whilst listening adoringly to the sound of one's own voice is you do need to at least know something. And to know something you need to do a little more than half skimming and misremembering your Google search - it will come to many Kiwis as somewhat of a shock that Invercargill lost 48000 odd residents overnight. God, Paul made Cllr Bruce Baker look intelligent with his idiotic ramblings on Shared Space and or variations of Shared Space, a term coined by Ben Hamilton-Baillie, which was meant to be descriptive of intent, not specific in description - ie/ you can adjust it to suit your town/city's circumstances. 

• Turning off traffic lights does not mean throwing the elderly, young and visually impaired into the road - crossings, even signal controlled, can and are often still used  
• Trials by micro-simulation would be done first before any live trials
• The Highways Agency, now Highways England,  offered to fund the micro-simulation
• Jesse Norman MP offered to help secure funding 
• Poynton, a Conservative controlled town in Cheshire has adopted a Shared space road redesign scheme with great success
• The heavily congested Cab Stands junction in Portishead has had it's lights removed with a reduction in congestion and accidents
• Accident rates always go down when traffic lights are removed
• Council or corporate liability is almost nil when lights are removed - ie/ 'accidents are up to you guv and your own actions'
• Cllr Rone is not an expert in road design nor do we seek or care for his open crisp packet, elbows on the edge of the bar opinions   
• Cllr Rone and the public do not care for my keyboard warrior opinions    
• If there is a political and public will it is the duty of Cllr Rone and myself and others to explore the possibility of experts giving us their expert opinion 
• Amey and or Balfour Beatty, will suffer a considerable reduction in budgetary income if lights are removed
• The Belmont (Asda) junction was a non traffic controlled roundabout years ago with more traffic using the road than there is now
• Likewise for the Steels Westgate (Tesco) roundabout
• This Conservative Cabinet has authorised the spending of over 5 million on trying to prove the case for a Western by Pass
• That's not provable because the Council officers can't actually produce documents to show if and how that overspend was authorised, I believe
• As a river crossing won't be completed for nearly a decade, let's crack on with easier and cheaper ways of getting the city moving 

So let me get this right, they have already offered to fund trial micro-simulation? So what's the hold up or have I missed something? 

Phil Edwards has been working hard for the city for many years in all fairness, I do not agree with everything he has proposed, for example the tree boulevard but some of his other projects have been welcome. 

Instead of knocking these ideas why don't they sit down and discuss it or even comment and air their views on here.

How ironic hahaha HE tells others councillors to seek before they speak and another to think before they speak and he got all has facts spectacularly wrong.  That is really quite amusing, fabulous subject title. 

Just for Mr Rone

Those above not wanting it in a grave yard , maybe go and have a word with the inhabitants and suggest where you would prefer them to set up home . Have you decent sized back gardens ? maybe some room for these folk . Think about that carefully this week as the temperature drops and you turn the heating up why don't you . 

There are plenty of places to pitch a tent around this city and a grave yard is most definitely not one of them! I understand that this person has been offered alternative accommodation and as is often the case, they refused help.

The city council have done a really good job here in restoring this treasured memorial and installing a bench.

I notice that Polly Andrews claims in her newsletter that she was not informed about the decision to place this bench here, why does she is need be be informed at all? The city council have obviously gained all the permission that were required from the county council in the first instance, maybe her colleagues forgot to let her know.  Definitley sour grapes, if the truth is known, she is moaning now because it was not her idea!

Massive improvement when they were out to be fair

This is brilliant, really enjoyed, well done to the author

So sad,  I wonder what happened here?

Not really surprised, small minded Hereford

We loved it

Yes I heard the same thing and also the bus station is going to become a multi storey car park

I see that the Hereford Times have finally caught top with this story today 

So because the landlords will not allow Halfords to build a bin compound the store still need to keep the area around them clean, this is a reasonable excuse but not a total excuse, clean it up.

Very nice photographs 

Finally! It will be good to see this project actually starting

Brilliant! What an achievement, well done that girl, new world record in the bag :) 

I notice plans for a new place of worship have been submitted to change of use (A2) office premises to become (D1) place of worship, with site managers living accommodation. 

I see no more details

Plans can be found here

We stopped to listed to the singers, good atmosphere and lots of pop up stalls 

It was good to see a lot more activity, the weather was against them though sadly.

We are not sure is this is connection but the Police are appealing for help to find missing man.

This is not looking good, let us hope that they fine him safe but as time goes on it is becoming more unlikely unfortunately.
