    Would this be Britain's most expensive urban motorway?

    SON OF GRIDKNOCKER
    By SON OF GRIDKNOCKER,

    THOUGH still not a certainty, the accursed Link Road to Nowhere last week took a step nearer to being more than the collective wet dream of Messrs Jarvis, Johnson and Phillips, and the other limousine-owning members of the Cabinet who believe that roads are our salvation.

     

    So how much will it really cost, this 800m-long strip of dual carriage tarmac, stretching from Edgar Street to Aylestone Hill?  'How long is a piece of string?' as my old gran used to answer when asked the unanswerable.

     

    The only 'known' at the moment - and this from no less an authority than former Leader John Jarvis - is that £27M has already been borrowed and banked to fund this pointless vanity project.  The 'unknowns' include: what the Wolverson family was paid to close down its Rockfield DIY store; what the costs of the two 'settlements' with Royal Mail (RM) and Jewson - announced at the end of last week's public inquiry were; who pays for the construction of RM's re-located vehicles park on Jewson's land; and how much Hereford Futures (HF) paid to various highway design consultants over the last five years.  Who will ever forget that Kafkaesque moment when, attempting to unravel HF's £3M running costs, the Scrutiny Committee was advised that the defunct company's recoords and files were in the process of being shredded!

     

    Ok, for argument's sake, let's say the Rockfield pay-off was £6M.  Which would have to mean that the combined RM / Jewson figure would be at least three times greater (negotiating lawyers are no fools when they have precedents to quote).  So that's £24M.  Add in the Jarvis borrowing figure of £27M and you've already hit £51M.  Are your eyes watering?  Then factor in another £1M to cover the road consultants' fees, plus six sets of legal costs.  At £52M - or a staggering £65,000 per metre - this would make the Hereford Link Road (if it ever got built) easily Britain's most expensive urban motorway.  More expensive even (per metre) than the notorious M25 London orbital motorway.

    'Chargeable' Cashless Parking Payments

    Colin James
    By Colin James,

    So you have to pay an addtional 30p in order to pay for your parking? Do I understand this correctly? But you do receive free texts NOT! (You have paid 30 p for the privilege) 

     

    RingGo-logo.png

     

    Herefordshire Council is switching its cashless payment parking contract from Paybyphone to RingGo at 12.01am on Thursday 29 January. Existing Paybyphone customers will need to register with RingGo to use the service.
     
    Cashless parking is convenient for motorists because they don’t have to carry change in order to park and can extend their parking session by making a simple phone call, therefore avoiding parking tickets.
     
    Customers can register in advance by downloading the free RingGo smartphone app or by entering their details at www.myringgo.co.uk. Customers who wish to register by phone should call 01432 817157 from Thursday 29 January at the time they want to park and pay.
     
    This initial call to register usually takes a few minutes. Subsequent calls to pay for parking normally take less than a minute.
     
    Councillor Paul Rone, cabinet member transport and roads said, “We have seen the number of people using this convenient service increase steadily over the last year with an increase of new users growing month on month.
     

     

    The new provider, RingGo charges 30p for the service and offers free text messaging to remind you that your parking time is nearly up with no additional service charge for extending your parking session or for a text receipt. We hope that shoppers, commuters and visitors to Hereford and the market towns will find this service useful. “

     

     

    From my understanding the previous service which was provided by PayByPhone  was subscription free, so I am confused as to why Herefordshire Council have opted for this more expensive company? I see Oxfordshire Council have done the same see this article

     

    In London the Council have opted for the reverse, The London borough of Southwark have changed from RingGo to PayByPhone, see this article

     

    So what's the difference between these two company's other than one being free?

    By bobby47,

    I've been looking at his photograph. You can tell an awful lot by staring at the image of a local Councillor who's about to destroy something good and of importance to the people of Hereford.

    For a starters, his eyes are to close together. I've never trusted a man whose got those eyes that imply, 'don't sit down and play three card brag with me because I'm a rotter, a cheat and a bloody big ninny.'

    Course that ain't the whole lot. Not at all! You'd be a strange fish if you went around disliking everyone simply because their eyes were not to your liking. Im sure his loved ones would say, 'well, we like his bloody eyes just the way they are and anyone who says otherwise is an idiot and shouldn't have unfettered access to a keyboard.'

    No! It's more than that. Much, much more than that. His head for example. Whilst its not overly huge, it ain't small and I don't like his hair cut. Where I come from you get a basin shoved on your cranium and the shears do the rest. This man takes great pride in his hair cut and that's another reason why I've come to the conclusion I wouldn't want to break bread with him. Anyone who takes that sort of pride in his hair cut instead of sitting down with a bowl on his head and getting his hair sheared off like the rest of us ain't to be trusted.

    And I've been speaking to folk about Harry. He's not liked. I've yet to speak to anyone who says they like spending time with him fishing for barbel on the Wye. To a man, they say he's tight. Mean! So mean and tight, he'll turn the gas off when he turns the bacon over. That's bloody tight for you!

    No! The facts here are speaking for themselves. This is a man with eyes set to close together, there's something about his head that I don't like, he ain't getting his hair cut like me and he's a man who's tight with his money.

    Then there's the personality. Good grief! This poor man must have been badly scarred by his days as a child treading the boards playing King Herod every year until he reached puberty. It couldn't have been easy sat there when the teacher shouted, 'you boy. The one with the eyes set to close together. In all my days of producing Nativity Plays you are the best Herod Ive ever seen and whatsmore, if ever we decide to stage an Easter Play, you are my Pontius Pilate.

    Yeah! You can tell an awful lot about someone by simply studying their photograph. And if you're reading this Harry, and you will be, unless you change course Im going to write you a part in a lurid tale about a man elected into Office who kept scurrying up my drainpipe demanding demanding something that I've yet to decide upon!

    Leave the Working Boys Home be, build the Firestation that we don't need in some other place and stop destroying our heritage. Then, and only then will your torment end!


    G24 parking fine can anyone help?

    gabm1956
    By gabm1956,

    Hi everyone, I'm very new to this so please bear with me if I'm doing this the wrong way, I find myself in a real predicament, and would really value anyone's input if they have any help for me on this.  I will try not to bore you with all of the details at this stage (don't want to put you off reading it), I find myself with a fine from G24 for parking in a disabled bay on a retail park (which I gather is classes as private land parking).  I am entitled to occupy this space with a current blue badge, (I was using my son's car therefore the letter was sent to him via the DVLA I assume). The incident apparently occurred on 18th December the letter arrived a few days ago, I am worried sick about this, I have read many posts on different forums and mainly say that private land fines are hard to enforce, but the majority I have come across are with regard to overstaying the limited times, I can find virtually nothing about disabled parking though I guess really from G24's point of view a fine is a fine!  I feel sure I put the badge in the window but I cannot honestly swear to it, along with physical disability (difficulty walking very far), I suffer from a condition known as fibromyalgia one of the symptoms of this are what is loosely termed 'brain fog' which simply means lack of concentration, periods of poor memory & confusion, hence me not being 100% about the badge.  I have since been back to the car park and happened to see the young man in operation, he literally ran to the car as soon as the driver was away from the vehicle, took a quick shot front & rear on his mobile phone and disappeared into the crowds, He was dressed in normal clothes nothing to say he was a parking attendant, despite on G24 website showing their attendants wearing Hi vis jackets with the name on, I contemplated speaking with him but didn't see the point & didn't want the confrontation I guess.  My question is does anyone know what I should do I have read so many conflicting stories, I cannot afford to pay the £100 and really if I'm honest more to the point feel it's unjustified I was entitled to be there, also a lot of the posts I have read refer to unreasonable charges relating to overstaying stating that it's unreasonable to charge more than the land owner would have lost, well in this case they would have lost nothing as I was entitled to be there and also in and out and off the car park in less than 30 minutes only popped to buy dog food. Sorry if I've rambled on when I said I wouldn't but it's really stressing me out, please can anyone help??

    Hereford Council Budget 2015 to 2016 - Council tax increase again

    megilleland
    By megilleland,
    Published in Hereford Times News by Bill Tanner

     
    Band D bill for 2015/16 could be £1,275 as services face further cuts
     
    HEADING into an election year, Herefordshire Council is set to reject the government’s offer of a one-off grant to freeze council tax and instead plans an increase of 1.9 per cent – just short of a rise that would trigger a referendum.
     
    The recommendation, which would see the average (Band D) bill up to  Â£1,275.10, is made in a cabinet report outlining the council’s budget plans for 2015/16.
     
    Councillor Tony Johnson, leader of Herefordshire Council, defended the rejection of the grant saying the council would have to find a further £750,000 in savings if the grant was taken up.
     
    “I’ve looked very closely at the offer but I’m afraid because of how the government grant allocation system works, Herefordshire and other rural authorities do not get the same level of grant as some other councils; particularly London boroughs,†said Cllr Johnson.
     
    “This is despite the fact that in many instances our geography means some services, such as road maintenance and social care cost more to deliver. The scheme on offer doesn’t add up for Herefordshire so unfortunately we are recommending it’s rejected,†he said.
     
    As proposed, spending on adult social services would be slashed  by £5.5 million over 2015/16, children’s wellbeing by £1.1 million and spending on other services by £3.6 million.
     
    The council says the majority of the savings can be found through on-going “efficiency measures†such as the “improved†use of technology rather than cuts to frontline services.
     
    To 2013/14 the council has saved £34m and is on target to save a further £15m in the current financial year against a background of reductions in grants from central government, increases in demand for council services and increasing costs to the council.
     
    Spending would be increased in designated “priority†areas including £200,000 to re-introduce rural bus services that received significant local public support and have a potential longer term growth, £400,000 to maintain increased grass cutting in parks and verges and £100,000 – on recommendation – for the prevention of  child sexual exploitation.
     
    The report makes clear that significant further savings will still have to be found over future financial years.
     
    Cabinet holds the first budget debate next Thursday, but approval rests with full council on February 6.
     
    If approved, the final rate will be set on March 6 to include the amount charged by parish councils, the Fire Authority and the Police and Crime Commissioner.
     
    Initial proposals were put to the council’s two overview and scrutiny committees in November with neither proposing alternative options.
     
    Although the council is on target to deliver within the overall budget in 2014/15 there is slippage in some savings and additional pressures in both 2015/16 and 2016/17 that have been mitigated by alternative savings and the use of contingencies.
     
    Next month, the full council will be asked to approve the 2015/16 budget and a medium term financial plan with scope for “refreshment†by any new administration after the election in May.
     
    At present, the medium term plan estimates a near £34 million funding gap arising from increased costs and reduced funding.
     
    The latest 2014/15 forecast outturn shows an overall delivery of savings in the current year with an additional £18 million of savings required over 2015/16-2016/17, £10 million  2015/16 alone.
     
    A total savings plan for the financial period 2011/12-2016/17 accounts for £67 million.
     
    The council’s provisional spending settlement for 2015/16 was announced by the government last month and may change in the final settlement expected in February.
     
    Behind the scenes at Shirehall, however, any change is not expected to be material enough to effect the budget.
     
    The provisional settlement  did, however, confirm another year of funding reductions in 2015/16 - in line with the council’s expectations.
     
    There was also an increase in rural funding that resulted in a net in overall funding compared to budget assumptions of £251,000k.
     
    This will be used to fund transportation costs and specifically to improve public transport options for vulnerable groups and further feasibility work on the Rotherwas rail link.
     
    A breakdown of current cost pressures across the council’s three directorates shows:
     
    Adult and wellbeing
     
    The 2014/15 savings target was £5.5 million of which 44 per cent has been delivered.
     
    An overspend against budget of £974,000 by the year’s end is forecast.
     
    This compares to a forecast overspend of £962k that was previously reported to Cabinet.
     
    The forecast overspend within adult social care client groups continues to rise particularly in residential and nursing as a result of pressures in the hospital system.
     
    But this has been partially offset by a continued reduction in the forecast spend on domiciliary care.
     
    The client forecast assumes that any further demand pressures will be managed and that new services such as reablement and telecare that were introduced in July will have an impact on managing growth.
     
    Children’s wellbeing
     
    The savings target for 2014/15 was £2.5 million, 60 per cent has been delivered.
     
    The latest forecast predicts an overspend against budget of £472,000 by the year’s end, an improvement of £12,000 since August.
     
    Continuing cost pressures presented by children in care and the use of agency staff costs means that mitigating savings have stopped any further overspend.
     
    Though there are no new residential placements, there is little spare capacity within the council’s in-house fostering service.
     
    Despite significant efforts to reduce the use of independent foster agency placements there has been an increase of seven placements with independent agencies since August costing an additional £139,000.
     
    The Herefordshire Intensive Placement Support Service has now been commissioned with a specific remit to reduce costs and improve outcomes in this area.
     
    The first intake of newly qualified social workers have completed their initial 12 months and moved into posts.
     
    But the commitment to keep caseloads at a manageable level has meant that there is still a reliance on long term agency staff with a number being extended until the end of the financial year.
     
    However, the recruitment of permanent staff continues and a new regional approach to agency recruitment should start in January.
     
    Economy, communities and corporate
     
    The savings target for 2014/15 was £7.3 million, 89 per cent has been delivered.
     
    The projected underspend is £242,000, a minor improvement on the August position of £17,000.
     
    Fourteen major planning applications brought £747,000 in fees in excess of the income budget, an increase of £237,000 from the August position.
     
    There is a net revenue pressure of £174,000 in relation to the Master’s House project in Ledbury.
     
    This spend is required to meet grant conditions of the Heritage Lottery funding for the project.
     
    Outstanding insurance liabilities have been externally re-assessed with a recommendation that the council increases the sum set aside in its insurance reserve.
     
    This, as well as costs associated with the re-tender of the contract, gives an overspend of  Â£250,000 built into the base 2015/16 budget.
     
    There are risks emerging in the property maintenance budgets marked for management within the overall directorate budget.
     
    Earmarked reserves and contingency budgets have been set aside for in-year pressures.
     
    The £2 million budgeted for â€change management†is forecast to underspend by £1 million due to less than forecast redundancy costs falling in year.
     
    In October, the revenue contingency budget  of £700,000 was committed to additional grass cutting, Colwall Primary School’s temporary accommodation and  adults transitions.

     

    They were going to have to find an extra £750,000 to freeze council tax and they say they could not do that. What about the £1,000,000 underspend for their "change management" or does that mean the change is going into management's pockets. What about the parking charges of nearly two million pounds - is this going towards more bottled water and biscuits?

     

    It is interesting how all the areas that the council under took in the past have been whittled down, through out sourcing, to just 3 areas. With all the money being sucked out of the locality by non elected quangos including the LEP and private companies on lucrative contracts. You just feel that your pocket has been picked again.


    LED Lights Roll Out Across Herefordshire

    Colin James
    By Colin James,

    Work started yesterday (Monday 12 January) to install new low-energy street lighting along Herefordshire’s roads.

     
    The £5.5 million green project starts in Whitecross, Hereford and will be rolled out across the whole county over the coming months.
     
    Herefordshire Council’s public realm contractor, Balfour Beatty Living Places (BBLP), is replacing all 9,000 street lights with LEDs.
     
    LEDs are expected to save the council £13.3 million over the next 20 years.
     
    Cllr Philip Price, Herefordshire Council’s cabinet member infrastructure, said: “This is our largest-ever carbon reduction project.”
     
    He added: “Not only is it good for the environment, but it will bring us substantial savings through lower energy costs and maintenance bills and will reduce light pollution, too.”
     
    The final, and largest, phase of LED street lighting is expected to take a year to complete. This includes replacing about a quarter of all lampposts.
     
    A third of Herefordshire’s street lights have already been replaced at a cost of £1.5 million.
     
    BBLPs principal lighting engineer, Mark Tidswell, said: “Upon completion, the energy consumption of street lighting in Herefordshire will be vastly reduced, as will the ongoing future maintenance burden. 
     
    “As well as the work on site, much will be going on behind the scenes updating the council’s systems and inventories to ensure the financial savings are realised as early as possible”.
     
    The new LEDs will be dimmed to save money and reduce light pollution. Approximate times are:
     
    Dusk to 10pm (100% of full power)
    10pm to midnight (80% of full power)
    Midnight to 5.30am (50% of full power) 
    5.30am to dawn (100% of full power)
     
    LED Lights.png
     
    My concerns are some of the local taxi drivers refusing to take shorter trips and now with dimmed lights from midnight until 5am this emphasises this issue even more!  People being refused a cab during the early hours to then having to walk home with 50% less light is a possible recipe for additional crime.

    YELLOW PAGES ARE BEING DELIVERED

    Ubique
    By Ubique,

    We live in the Country 3.5 miles from the City .

    For various reasons we use our back door when we leave our home . Three days ago the Postman knocked on our front door with a parcel , on opening the door as well as the Postie and the parcel I found a very damp Yellow Pages which must have been put / thrown there some two / three days previous . Was put rightly / wrongly straight into the recycling bin.

    Today I walked down the lane from our home passed , what I know is an empty home because the occupants are enjoying the sun in Spain , and are there for the next week . The drive to their home is " secured " by a five bar gate , thrown over this gate was their copy of the Yellow Page , even more soaking and useless than mine .

    I accept fully that the distribution of this publication by somebody gives them employment but they have a responsibility to ensure that this publication is distrubited properly - it's what the advertisers pay for and expect.

    I know that I could have complained to Yellow Pages - and perhaps I should have - but at my age I certainly have better things to do with the rest of my life .


    Who's driving this Joint Property Vehicle (JPV)

    megilleland
    By megilleland,

    Report here about Herefordshire Council considering the proposals for a joint property vehicle (JPV) with Worcestershire and the alternative options for commissioning of property services.

     

    Part of the government's instruction for regionalism of services and management of key services.

     

    Strangely the council appear to be wary of it, although there is mention of putting in place a partnership agreement with a private sector partner while retaining an intelligent client/strategic asset management capability within the council.

     

    Is that a call for the return of a Hereford Futures type organisation?

    Changes to Hereford City Bus Services from 31 August 2014

    megilleland
    By megilleland,
     
    Herefordshire’s bus services will reduce from 31 August 2014 as part of the council’s aim to save £33m by 2017. Following the public consultation our priority is to retain support for the core network and rural lifeline services.
     
    The table below shows those services which will be affected by the changes. For more information on individual services, please:
     
     
    Whilst every care has been taken to ensure accuracy , this is a first draft of the August 2014 timetable and is indicative of the new services and may therefore be subject to change. We will update our website with any changes as soon as we can.

    71/71A Hereford - Credenhill 
    Revised timetable, evening journeys Mondays to Thursdays withdrawn but provided without subsidy by First on Friday and Saturday evenings. Revised Sunday service provided without subsidy by First. Most journeys will terminate at Hereford City Bus Station
     
    72 Hereford - Bobblestock 
    Revised timetable, evening journeys Mondays to Thursdays withdrawn but provided without subsidy by First on Friday and Saturday evenings
     
    74/74A Hereford - Newton Farm 
    Revised timetable, late evening journeys Mondays to Thursdays withdrawn but provided without subsidy by First on Fridays and Saturdays. Revised Sunday service provided without subsidy by First
     
    75/75B Hapton Park - Hereford 
    Revised timetable. One early Saturday morning journey, evenings and Sunday service withdrawn
     
    78 Rotherwas - Hereford 
    Off peak service withdrawn. Alternative journeys provided by revised 454 service
     
    79A Hereford - Putson - Redhill 
    Revised Sunday service provided without subsidy by First
     
    88/88A Hereford - The Pastures/Saxon Gate 
    Minor revision to timetable

     

    The 74/74A service I use has the following last daily buses scheduled to run at:

     

    Last bus back to Newton Farm Monday to Thursday evenings 7:05pm.

    Last bus back to Newton Farm Friday evening 9:05pm.

    Last bus back to Newton Farm Saturday evening 11:35pm.

    Last bus back to Newton Farm Saturday evening 6:15pm.

     

    Where the subsidy is withdrawn can the over 60's still use their bus passes?

     

    Has Cllr Rone declared an interest when deciding these cuts as he appears to have a pecuniary interest in us using taxis later in the evening?

    In Trouble At Work? Hit your employer with some well-chosen words...

    WirralPC
    By WirralPC,

    As central government employer protection intensifies, employment rights diminish, and aggressive, uncontrolled public sector scams gather pace into 2015, be prepared for the worst.

     

    More and more of us are finding we have to defend ourselves or our 'service users' against malpractice, dishonesty, abuse, callous treatment and lack of senior officer accountability.  In fact a perverse and cruel response is becoming 'par for the course' if you're an honest individual who causes problems for your employer by publicising their crooked activity or who makes an internal complaint in good faith.

     

    In this "brave" new frontier of 'business needs' versus 'public service', here are a few phrases I put together when Cheshire West and Chester Council came gunning for me back in 2007 - 2009.

     

    I won this particular battle, but lost my job, and my ability to continue my career as a lighting designer / engineer became ground down and permanently diminished.  Patronage, old friends, back-scratching, favours and petty vindictiveness ensured this specialist livelihood came to an abrupt end.

     

    If you come up against this kind of crookedness in 2015, and chances are you may do if you're still clinging on for grim death at Herefordshire County Council, here's a few polished phrases that can be used to make stupid, bullying managers pause, scratch their bonces, and lurch firmly onto the back foot.

     

    A word of warning.  These MBA badge of honour wielders will utterly despise you - and seek to destroy you even MORE - when the penny drops you're 100 times cleverer than they are.

    Looking forward to voting in the 2015 General Election

    megilleland
    By megilleland,
    First published Friday 12 September 2014 in Hereford Times News by Adam Knight

     
    UKIP has announced its 2015 candidate for North Herefordshire, their unsuccessful 2010 runner Jonathan Oakton
     
    Campaigning on a platform of increasing pensions and doubling the territorial army Mr Oakton won 2, 701 votes, good for fourth place in the constituency at the last general election.
     
    Finishing behind the 'big three' traditional parties, he saw off Green Party candidate Felicity Norman (1,533) who last month announced that she would be passing the torch to her 27-year-old daughter Daisy Blench ahead of next year’s election.
     
    However with UKIP enjoying a surge in popularity since 2010, Mr Oakton will be hoping to mount a serious challenge to unseat Conservative incumbent Bill Wiggin.
     
    The 56-year-old hopeful will be meeting and greeting at Kington Show tomorrow, where UKIP have a stand.

     

     
    WD Wiggin (Conservative Party) 24,631 votes - 51.8% votes won
    LA Hurds (Liberal Democrat) 14,744 votes - 31.0% votes won
    N Sabharwal (Labour Party) 3,373 votes - 7.1% votes won
    JP Oakton (United Kingdom Independence Party) 2,701 votes - 5.7% votes won
    FM Norman (Green Party) 1,533 votes - 3.2% votes won

    The number of local authority staff with the power to enter your home or workplace.

     

    A Big Brother Watch report

    January 2015

     

    A Freedom of Information Request was sent to all UK local authorities on the 25th

    January 2013. We asked how many officers had the power to enter a home, and

    also how many had been disciplined in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.

     

    Of the 433 local authorities in the UK we received a 99% response rate. Only

    Hackney did not respond fully. A further 22 could not provide usable information,

    generally for lack of information recorded, or the request potentially exceeding the

    standard cost and time limits for an FOI. 

     

    Key Findings

    All results are for the years 2009 to 2012 unless otherwise indicated. A full list of local

    authorities is available in table 2 and 3.

    * There are more than 19,375 local authority officials with powers of entry, in 429

    local authorities.

    * This is an average of 45 local authority officials with powers of entry in all 433

    local authorities.

    * 2 local authorities have more than 500 officials with powers of entry

    * Northumberland (541)

    * Leeds (527) 

     

    English Unitary Authorities:

    Herefordshire

    Number of officials with powers of entry - 65
