Yes I echo bobby47, I hope you both win your wards because you both deserve too.

Chris, I know the lady in question and I cannot believe the situation she is in, its ridiculous, she was telling me how helpful you had been, so lets hope you can get her re-housed as that house should be condemned! She should not have to suffer another Winter there.

I have split this from IOC topic and created one of it's own.

Surplus de-icing product BBLP recently trialled a de-icing solution which has subsequently not been taken into routine use as it is not suitable for the type of highway use we require. It is however potentially suitable for use in a number of community type settings, perhaps in churchyards, entrances to residential care homes, and so on. The surplus is available free of charge to any Parish Council/Community Group that thinks they could use it. I’ve attached a data sheet but essentially the solution is most effective when sprayed on footpaths, yard areas or similar when icy conditions are forecast (to prevent ice forming) rather than after the event. The solution comes in 25 litre drums and as it needs to be sprayed any group taking up the offer would need a simple spray container/device. An opportunity maybe to get ahead of the game in preparation for next winter. If you are interested let Mike or I know. Herefordshire Council website is the one-stop-shop for up to date information Maps for pot holes are available on the Councils website https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/transport-and-highways/maintenance/potholes We hope the above is of interest.

Yes skating has become very popular again, so good luck with your project and welcome to HV!

This is really great news and relief for Julian and you. I would definitely follow this up and this was totally out of order, also ask to have the recording of the desk sergeant looked at, all this was bully boy tactics and these officers should be brought to account and explain their actions.

Wankers! They have a sensor I notice on the wall in the car park next to the Black Lion, I might just drive in there, sit there for 5 mins and wait for the van to turn up then drive out.

Between 11pm and 5pm? do you mean 11am-5pm? I am confused here, if no licence is required she can stay open 24/7 yes? As for law makers, I have no problem with requiring a licence to sell HOT FOOD but its the LOCAL COUNCIL that have in the past refused trading in Hereford after 0130 hours, I will not be voting this council in again for sure.

I could not of worded any better Jim, you have hit the nail on the head. You never know though as no hot food is involved here and we all know that hot food makes people more aggressive and more inclined to be up to no good! lol

I will be interested to see the outcome of this application... photo courtesy of the HT Taken from this article in the HT I wish her luck with her application as HV have been fighting to allow traders to be able to stay open longer, offering 'hot food' during the early hours in this popular topic but this is a separate application as no hot food is being offered, nevertheless, it will be interesting to see the outcome.

I see that there are a couple of voting signs for Mr Edwards in Southolme Road, is this not very close to the Polling Station and actually part of Belmont? So is he standing in Belmont or Newton Farm?

So what's the difference to offering cake to cutting a potential voters hedge then?

Thank you Chris.

My dad knew all of these guy's sadly he is no longer with us.

Racing in Whittern Way Hereford last night? Quote from the Whitehouse community Centre

Which end of widemarsh Street is this? Which building do you know?

Welcome to HV Mike and good luck with your campaign, its good to have you as a member here.

Thanks, thats the sort of statement my security colleague would usually say to me.

Thanks dippy, Just got myself a new keyboard just in case, you know how it is.

Anyone who knows me will know I could not give a toss about threats, after all, I am entitled to my opinion and my members are entitled to theirs. ****! Now there is a really good word. I have everything in hand as you can see,

I will help you out too. Mr Colin James 17 Glastonbury Close Belmont Hereford HR2 7YL Please let me know what other details you require. Oh and yes I still stand by my comments and I have many witnesses who will also confirm the same, so fill your boots!

Well a little birdie tells me that Mr Edwards is taking legal action against Hereford Voice... because of this topic. On what grounds I wonder? Hmmm If this is correct, then as the administrator of Hereford Voice, I look forward to receiving your letters Mr Edwards,
