I was chatting to a neighbour this morning over a coffee and saying I need to pop into town to get some green garden rubbish bags, now according to my neighbour, someone she knows had a letter when she got some green bags to say that there is or will be an option of a wheeled bin that you pay per month or year for garden rubbish that will be collected fortnightly.

I did not get the letter myself when I got my bags today, I can not see anything about it on the council website, do anyone know about this?

The person who got the letter worked it that it would cost them more to have the bin than to have green bags, as I said this is just what I have heard from a neighbour.

I have steps, so having wheeled bins is not a good option for me, but just being nosy really.

A serious police incident has been declared in Bartestree.
Tidnor Lane has been closed off in both directions going up to Longworth Lane.

I have been reading this article in the HT and Mayor Charles Nicholls is correct, the city could benefit from a Tourist Information Centre and as you can see he has suggested a good location with this empty shop in Widemarsh St.

I thought we had once had one in King St but the funding was stopped sometime ago and it closed?

However, I believe there is a better alternative and it is smack opposite our Cathedral.

The garages in Usk Close Redhill are a complete disgrace! These unmaintained garages not only make the surrounding area look terrible but are also an advert to invite vandalism.  

Who owns or is responsible for these garages? Would this be Hereford Housing?

Anyone else here had a similar experience?

I am very pleased to announce that South Wye Community Association (Belmont Community Centre) has been shortlisted in the "Local Community Award" category of the Herefordshire Community Champions Awards for 2016.

The final of the awards evening will take place on 29 April 2016 at the Shire Hall and we are all delighted to have been nominated and shortlisted for the final.

The Community Centre at Belmont continues to develop the services that we offer, we have a very active weekly coffee morning every Friday from 10 am, where we regularly meet over forty people.  We also hold two lunch clubs a month where fresh food is prepared and cooked for over forty local residents.

Since the closure of the main library in Hereford our footfall has continued to grow with around 40,000 people in the last year.  The licence for the year 2016/2017 is due to be signed and we know the library will remain in Belmont until at least the 31 March 2017. (Licences are issued on a yearly basis).

We also have a large number of user groups who hire the centre and we are considering extending the services that we offer to include "well being".  We hope to publish more information on our plans in the near future. 

In the meantime if you would like to volunteer at the centre or would just like to know more about us, please call in and see us.  You are guaranteed a warm welcome.

Finally, I would just personally like to thank all of the volunteers, trustees and users of the centre for all of the hard work, dedication and commitment shown by them.  Long may it continue and we look forward to a successful future.

I will keep you updated on the competition result :)

At last! Since that dreadful day in 1989 the families of the dead, their friends and relatives and the people of Liverpool have fought them all in their pursuit of the truth and now, over a quarter of a century later, they've finally crossed the finishing line and won a great victory against all those who lied, secreted the facts and tried to place the blame at the feet of Liverpool supporters and the great people of Liverpool.

The political establishment, the Police, most notably the Sun newspaper, they all lied and secreted their wrongdoings to the detriment of all who grieved following the Hillsborough disaster and now it's all over. The Ninety Six were unlawfully killed! This is a victory, not only for the Ninety Six and all the people of Liverpool, but a victory for the power of people who refused to give in.

It is good to see another business occupying the former Palace Chinese Restaurant empty building in Commercial Road. 

PAPPAJOHNS Pizza opening very soon.

I am proud to be British and this lady has always been there in the background, a rock solid stateswoman who has seen it all...

A Ledbury town councillor has been forced to apologise after she tried to ban Union Jack bunting being put up to celebrate the Queen's birthday - in case it upset FOREIGNERS. What the hell?

Councillor Liz Harvey voted against having the patriotic bunting, saying visitors to the town would mistake the red-white-and-blue flags for the National Front.
