  1. Who was the previous Director for Adults and Well being? Is it about now that the other case of a lady in her 40's is due to be heard?
  2. It's Our County shared John Harrington's post. 9 mins · This is Herefordshire Council in 2018. John Harrington 17 mins · Herefordshire Council in 2018! This is Herefordshire Council in 2018, mired in secrecy and incompetence, failing badly to protect those most in need. A judge yesterday ruled that Herefordshire Council must be named, despite the Council instructing their lawyers to figh to prevent this from coming into the public domain, when he criticised them for "dreadful failures" in the handling of kids in their care. How is the Hereford Times not all over this national story yet - favours called in by our top tier incompetent council officers? How are our MPs not all over this - despite the shame they must feel for voting to starve the Council of desperately needed central government funding? Come on Jesse Norman, where is the political courage you so admire in Smith and Burke when this is happening under your nose by a council led by your party and a Cabinet of men who trust implicitly whatever senior council officers feed them. It's not good enough for the Council to issue a statement, having failed in their desperate attempt to mute the story, that they have now "recognised that 14 (of the 42 children in care) have wrongly and abusively been the subject of section 20 accommodation for a wholly inappropriate lengthy period of time" and that Herefordshire Council" deeply regrets these past failings" when almost all the same people responsible for those failings, Conservative County Cllrs and Council officers, still sit in their revamped offices in Plough Lane whilst vulnerable children, who have been so badly let down, struggle to get the care and stability theyneed in their lives. This really is an occasion where it seems senior heads must roll..this is simply, not bloody good enough.
  3. It looks magnificent even in photographs I have yet to see it live having difficulty rounding up my viewing buddy(ies|) Did I read some where that some dog owner had allowed their dog to run loose and managed to break two of the poppies. Only in Hereford would this happen!
  4. https://t.co/FHi0nwCZWL Whistleblower warned Carillion bosses about irregularities, MPs told Emma Mercer raised accounting questions shortly after becoming construction finance chief Sadly an altogether very familliar scenario nowadays
  5. I absolutely agree with you there Ragwert frightening isn't it
  6. Ragwert it does not give me any pleasure to see all these shops failing what does concern me is just what is happening to this country. So many jobs lost coutrywide since the start of the New year with no sign of things pciking up. In your wisdom where do you Ragwert see where this country is heading?
  7. I wonder if this is still lying vacant talk about house developers hanging onto land rather than build the houses they have the planning for. This building as I understand it is a Care Home that closed and now the owner is sitting on the site waiting for a better offer.
  8. Poor chap I hope he is given the help and privacy now There is far too much that should not be published put in the press nowadays.
  9. Countrywide Farmers enters administration after sale falls throughFarmingUK‏ @FarmingUK 3h3 hours ago Administrators have been appointed to retailer Countrywide Farmers Plc, which employs around 735 people, due to "significant trading difficulties" and "cash flow pressures"
  10. Yes Ragwert it is in the OLM. In fact I just tuned into HV to report the same - great minds and all that
  11. I don't think the shop Animal is feeling too healthy either
  12. It is vile in Kingstone had serious trouble getting out of my house to walk my little dog down the drive and just a little up the road until she had a pee = perhaps too much detail but there you go. Just one vehicle has ventured out but don't think he got far. Roll on a lovely spring warm morning when everything is greening up and the birds are singing and the lambs are bleating Note to self do not leave shovel/spade in garage if it is going to snow!!!
  13. Carpetright are also going through iffy times. Cannot take the sheer frustration of trawling through rails of clothes in shops so just shop online. Sit in traffic park up pay parking just too much hassle give me online any day! The money is still going to the business so they are not losing money from online shoppers.
  14. Toys R Us Maplins Chimi ................. eating place in the OLM The first 2 have gone into administration and the last one closing places throughout the country and those are the ones that have been announced today. What is causing these hard times? Should the Cons be worried that a recession is on it's way? It would be very interesting to know how many jobs in this country have been lost since Christmas and how many jobs have been created.
  15. https://www.facebook.com/CouncillorElissaSwinglehurst/… Change of Leader. There will be a change of Leader in the Council; Cllr.Anthony Johnson has stepped down and Cllr. Jonathan Lester has been elected as the new leader, the official hand over will take place at the full council meeting on the 9th March. Jonathan is very able, he is relatively young but has ample experience having served as Cabinet member for Childrens services. http://councillors.herefordshire.gov.uk/mgUserInfo.aspx… That snippet passed me by I did not know the new leader had been selected
  16. that last sentence should read A small landmark in our transition to a cleaner and greener future So you have Council trying to flood the county with motorised vehicles and the county's MP championing a greener future. Both the Council and the MP are Cons - so comforting to see so much joined up thinking!
  17. Jesse Norman‏ Verified account @Jesse_Norman Following Following @Jesse_Norman More Delighted to get the Renewable Transport Fuels and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Regulations onto the statute book just now. A small landmark in our transition to a cleaner and greener future.
  18. He was at the Bishops School on 23rd - I think he is deliberately avoiding it all
  19. Thank you for your replies both of you. Some people I know had been told they had to book to view so I will pass all the above info on - thank you
  20. Hello Ubique somebody said that you have to book to view. I said I would find out perhaps Ubique you could tell me
  21. Who pays for this - does it come out of the Parish Council precept?
  22. Both Nissan and Honda are feeling a bit twitchy There would be so much money tied up in Angus Davison's business he probably can't afford to hang about.
  23. But does it open up land for development and that is the key no land no development no money to build the Bypass
