Very interesting. idling traffic..
-
Much as think the Lidl going there will cause issues, especially traffic/highways safety, this type of JR appeal on the grounds laid it is very unlikely indeed to succeed.
-
Who knows when or if this will be funded and come to pass, but for the western bypass I think it is wrong that the route is so close to Belmont Abbey and the tip of the housing estate there. NIBMYism - yes. Surely it could be diverted slightly further away.
-
I think the chair was acutely mindful of losing any subsequent appeal and the considerable costs involved to the council in defending any appeal. I normally slate the councillors but the crazy 'expert' opinion of the highways and transport officers meant there was no easy evidential way to turn it down, though those of us with enough knowledge and experience of the area can see the inherent problems that will manifest once the store is built.
-
Quite agree. It is madness.
-
didn't mind how it went either personally, but I was flabbergasted by the highways/transport modelling & so called expert opinion that there would no be additional traffic issues and/or highways safety risks. Its gonna be wild with traffic trying to exit the site turning right.

Great quality footage.

Over £200,000 To Be Spent On Anti-Terror Bollards In City
Adrian Smith replied to Hereford Voice's topic in Open Forum
Don't think so. It mentions no plans to change the current traffic regulation orders, so existing vehicle access times will be unchanged. -
This will never get built. As for the western bypass who knows. I'm not against it, but the red route that was deemed best a few years ago was too close to Belmont Abbey and the Belmont housing estate.

Hopefully will never be needed but if you don't have them and then something happens, there would be plenty of recriminating and finger pointing...- 5 replies

Certainly respect both views above and there are plenty of grounds for objections. If the hotel could be replaced with community services such as doctors, dentist etc than I would be in favour of that, but that is not on the table and is akin to people wishing for things like Matalan, Toby Carvery etc at the former Debenhams store. Lidl must think that have a good chance of succeeding as they would not have applied. It will no doubt go to Planning Committee though and there are many dinosaurs on that who oppose most developments of any sort. If they refuse it, will Lidl appeal to the Planning Inspector who may or may not over turn it? Will take years not months to be concluded if that is the case.

Provided any highways/traffic issues can be mitigated, hope this gets approved. Lidl are a decent supermarket and cheaper than Tesco/Asda.

seems a reasonable list apart from Crockett, Oliver and Bartlett.

May Fair Pay Herefordshire Council £50,000
Adrian Smith replied to Hereford Voice's topic in Open Forum
Seems like a fair price both to the Showmans Guild and also for the the significant overheads in moving all the planters of which there is too many and which the public had no say over. Another one of Harrington's babies that he has now departed from having any responsibility over, but the costly legacy of having to move them each year remains. -
Change Of Administration At Herefordshire Council
Adrian Smith replied to Hereford Voice's topic in Open Forum
Not sure I want/trust any of them to be honest. Being a Cllr is a poisoned chalice though thesedays. With no money, adults and childrens services swallowing up what budget there is, combined with social media (especially YH) stirring up hate - its not a role I would want!
