I have just seen this refusal for advertising at Hfc. THE COUNTY OF HEREFORDSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL hereby gives notice in pursuance of the above Act and Regulations that CONSENT has been REFUSED for the display of the advertisements described above for the following reasons: 1 The proposed location of the hoardings next to a busy section of road, which also features signalised junctions and pedestrian crossing points, is considered inappropriate owing to the potential for advertisements to distract driver's attention. The proposals would therefore have a detrimental impact on highway safety and are thus contrary to Policy MT1 of the Herefordshire Local Plan and Section 7 of the NPPF. So how come it was OK for the advertising on Newmarket roundabout ?

Herefordshire Council has completed the lease of Edgar Street stadium to Hereford FC. The ten year lease will secure the club’s tenancy at the Edgar Street stadium until 2030, enabling the club to proceed with plans to return the ground to a four-sided stadium.

The proposed ‘Urban Village’ project, part of the Hereford 2020 Edgar Street regeneration, could potentially mean joint investment from Herefordshire Council and Hereford FC for a new stand and facilities at the Blackfriars Street side of the stadium, with the opportunity for nearby retail outlets. Councillor Harry Bramer, Herefordshire Council Cabinet Member for Contracts and Assets, said: Hereford FC Chairman Ken Kinnersley said:

Club’s tenancy at Edgar Street stadium secured for 10 years Hereford Football Club has signed an agreement with Herefordshire Council (dated 19 December 2017), which will secure the club’s tenancy at the Edgar Street stadium for a further 10 years. The extended lease - which can be triggered by the club - will allow for future development of the club’s stadium as part of a wider area that is set to further improve following the opening of the Old Market shopping development and the construction of the new City Link Road. The proposed ‘Urban Village’ project, part of the Hereford 2020 Edgar Street regeneration, could potentially mean a new stand and associated facilities to return the ground to a four-sided stadium, as well as more retail outlets nearby. Hereford FC signs new lease (l-r) Councillor Harry Bramer and Hereford FC Chairman Ken Kinnersley Speaking today, Hereford FC’s Chairman Ken Kinnersley said: Councillor Harry Bramer, Cabinet Member for Contracts and Assets said:

Extended lease for Hereford FC. Herefordshire Council and Hereford Football Club have negotiated an extended lease term which will assure Hereford FC’s tenancy for a minimum of 10 years from the commencement date. The club’s stadium and surrounding area continue to improve following the opening of the new shopping development and the construction of the new City Link Road. There is also an opportunity for the redevelopment of the Blackfriars Terrace end, as part of the proposed ‘Urban Village’ project. This would mean a new spectator stand and facilities, alongside other retail outlets, and would see the stadium being returned to four sides.

On Saturday 7 November, the day before Remembrance Sunday, Hereford FC will entertain Rocester in the Midland Football League at Edgar Street. As a mark of respect, and to show support for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal, the players will be wearing a special set of playing shirts on the day that have a poppy printed on the chest, just above the logo of our main sponsor, Jewson. These shirts are a one off and each player will then sign their shirt after the game. Once signed, club kitman, Roger Lloyd, will collect all the shirts together and each one will be auctioned online in the next few weeks, with all the money raised being donated to the Poppy Appeal in Herefordshire. Speaking about this fundraising initiative, Hereford FC’s Commercial Manager, Chris Ammonds, said: ‘As a club were very keen to show support for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal in the county and this seems a fantastic way of doing this. ‘It also gives our supporters an opportunity to secure a unique piece of Hereford FC memorabilia as these shirts will be worn only once and each one will be signed by the player who wears it on the day. ‘In the days after the game the shirts will then be placed on EBay and each will be sold to the highest bidder. ‘We feel it is vital this club makes a contribution within the local community and therefore every single penny that is successfully bid for each shirt will be donated to support the Poppy Appeal in Herefordshire. ‘We hope that our fantastic supporters dig deep in an attempt to get their hands on these unique items – I’m sure everyone agrees that the more money we can all help raise the better.’ Sarah Jones, Community Fundraiser for the Royal British Legion in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, said: ‘As covering Community Fundraiser for Herefordshire, it is great to see the lengths that people will go to, to support The Royal British Legion. ‘Hereford Football Club has been a pleasure to work with and I would like to personally thank the club for supporting Herefordshire in their Poppy Appeal for 2015/16. ‘I look forward to seeing the unique shirts being worn by the team and seeing how much money can be raised for the Poppy Appeal when they are auctioned.’ As well as wearing the limited edition shirts during the Rocester game, the Territorial Army have been invited to join the Guard of Honour as the teams take to the field on Saturday 7 November. In addition, on Tuesday 10 November, when Hereford FC entertain Stourport at Edgar Street, the Royal British Legion will be holding a bucket collection to further assist with their fundraising efforts.
