Gas leak in Widemarsh Street, Hereford - road closed

Famers Market At Tesco..

Well I didn't expect to see a farmers market in Tesco's car park this morning, not sure how that works..
Police Counters to Close

Police Counters to Close in September according to this article in this week's HT.
THE front counters at all the market town police stations in Herefordshire are
to close next month, including in Ledbury Station, off the Worcester Road.
West Mercia Police has confirmed the desks at Bromyard, Kington, Ledbury, Leominster and Ross on-Wye will be removed from the beginning of September and replaced with an intercom system, connecting the public to a "call-taker"
So what's the point in having these police stations? They spend all that money building the one in Newton Farm, which has hardly been manned since they day it opened, it's more like a glorified police car park.
Cost cutting gone a little too far in my opinion.
When does the development finish??
I'm not knocking it because Hereford city needs it
But "when does the development finish"??
I'm sure somebody said just before the first brick was laid that it would be late March early April.
The reason I'm asking is that I've drove past the site a number of times and it seems to me that it may take a lot longer,
Or will 'only parts' of the site be open first??
HEREFORD UNITED your local club
I'm a massive Hereford supporter, have been for a long long time but how many 'locals' have been to watch your 'professional' club??
It's heart breaking to think that the last few home games maybe the last that will be played at Edgar street.
I'm not going to bore you with the details because I'm guessing you've all read about what's going on already but to be frank its the same old story with a small club
Club gets taken over
New owners promise the world
New directors overspend
Bad management
Bad leadership
Supporters lose patient's
Now there's quite a lot going on to try and SAVE HEREFORD UNITED to raising money to a March through the city centre starting from the 'Victory' pub
'Yes' its not much (or not enough) but we CAN'T GIVE UP! !!
But the one thing that 'will help' is to get as much bodies through the turnstiles so please PLEASE for these last few games TURN UP BUY A PROGRAMME BUY A PIE even TRY THE SPICY SOUP! !
DONT LET THE CLUB DIE BECAUSE OF A FEW - SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CLUB! !!
Brownfield sites

CPRE are compiling a countrywide map of brownfield sites suitable for development. If when you are out and about over the next few days and spot a suitable site please could you let the CPRE know.
Out & about this weekend? If you spot a derelict site we can add to our brownfield #WasteOfSpace map, let us know!
As you are all no doubt aware developers are currently targeting precious greenfield sites for housing developments but CPRE are certain that there are many suitable brownfield sites that should be developed before losing precious greenfields. Once the information is gathered they will present their info to the government.
SSAFA - Pack up your troubles......
Has Anyone Noticed..
..How the local radio have more adverts for Cheltenham, Worcester Crown Gate and Gloucester Shopping centers than our own OLM?
I actually got confused the other day, the advert said "visit the new Odeon multiscreen" ... "eat out in one of our new resturanst like Nandos, Prezzos or Zizzi".... oh a advert for the OLM I thought ... "come and visit our new shopping experience at Cheltenham" hah.
So now we have a "cookie cutter" shopping experience just like everywhere else and the local radio is advertising everyone elses more than ours.
Tory party using council website for party political matter
Just came across this job advert on the council website. Surely this isn't allowed. We all know that Bill Wiggins used his council conservative connections in the past to wrongly block Jim Miller standing for a local election so you'd have thought the council would be very wary of appearing to favour him in advance of a general election. Helping to recruit his campaign team is showing political bias in my opinion. To also say that the job is to help Tory councillors in their campaigning is also using the council website inappropriately.
So, there you go, IOC, Greens, Labour and Independents - an open goal for you.

Hope Pole Changing To BBQ Bar

The Hope Pole in Commercial Road closes it's doors on September 8th and re opens as BBQ and Brew on September 25th with 24 additional staff
A carnivorous celebration of the American Deep South pit barbecue. Forget the sad burnt banger on the Barbie at home, this is barbecue as it’s meant to be.In true Southern style, BBQs & Brews slow cook their meat in imported American smokers for up to 18 hours. Locally-bred Herefordshire meat takes centre stage here, coupled with authentic barbecue rubs and sauces inspired by the Texan masters. The open kitchen gives customers ringside seats to the smoking process before they tuck into some of our mouth-watering dishes on offer.And the tribute to America continues at the bar, pitting punchy American Craft beers and smooth bourbons against delicious English cask ales and local craft cider.This is a fun-loving, family-friendly barbecue joint, offering something for everyone. Whether you want to celebrate an event, catch up with a group of friends, enjoy a family treat or just to enjoy the game in the bar with friends, there’s always a good reason to visit BBQs & Brews. Even if it’s just for the love of meat.
West Midlands Ambulance Service fined £2.6m

An ambulance service has been fined £2.6m for failing to reach one of its key targets for life threatening calls, the BBC has learnt.West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) failed to reach the government's target of attending 75% of emergencies within eight minutes during 2013-14.The fine has been imposed by the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) which control NHS budgets.WMAS said there had been unprecedented and unpredictable demand.So far, in 2014-15, the service said it had met all its targets.'A farce'The service will lose £800,000 of the total fine. The remaining £1.8m will be "reinvested to improve ambulance response times", the CCGs said.WMAS said negotiations on the reinvestment were at "a very advanced stage" and the fine would not impact on front-line staff.But Ray Salmon from Unison said it was "a farce" to take money away from a service that was already struggling to meet demand."You cannot have 17 decisions made locally about an ambulance service which operates across the whole region," he said.The details of the fine have only came to light because board papers for the North Staffordshire CCG showed the contract was subject to a penalty of £94,000 - North Staffordshire's share of the total amount deducted.
