I am surprised that they have not dropped it altogether, still a waste of tax payers money

Thats a joke!

I have now merged these two topics into one.

Thanks John and I am pleased that IOC are supporting this idea and will be exploring the viability of a tram across the Great Western Way a policy commitment.

Thanks mate, please add your comments :)

Good to see my letter listed HERE

Yes, pleased that they have more or less made it a star letter :)

Roger, your missing the point, of course they are lazy people around and that will always be the case. The point here is, if someone is prepared to pay for a service, in this case, a taxi, the distance of the trip required is irrelevant. There are many people waiting for hackney carriage licenses and in my opinion the driver should be given one warning and if this behaviour continues then licenses should be revoked. Rebecca is correct with her comment 'its a lottery' sometimes there will be a queue of people waiting for a taxi, some will want to go a mile or less others will want to go further. A driver can not pick and choose the better fares, what next?

Spot on Paul

This is the reason it took an hour and 5 minutes to drive from Belmont to Holmer this morning. Another nightmare morning on the A465 Belmont Road. Apparently a trailer carrying sheep overturned. You see, one problem and the traffic extends out past the Clehonger turning on the A465 coming into Hereford and out as far as the bottom of the Callow on the A49 Ross Road. Still, we have a relief road coming soon eh... More river crossings please!!

I see the beauty salon at the Crystal Rooms is now empty...

Sounds good to me!!

Traffic Lights!!!! Grrrr

Welcome to the club Phil

Phew! Thats me off the hook then lol

I have just been sent this - Cumulative Impact Zone Legal Q&A. This is a good article

It will be interesting to see who remains active on HV after the election.

This was dropped through my door earlier today, can't say I have ever heard of this guy but this is his campaign leaflet. This was the insert;

Good thought but going into town would have to be a separate project to this one. This idea stems from being able to possibly use/accommodate the old railways lines (GWW) initially, if we can get this project live then we can look at all the other alternatives but right now, I think we need to keep this one line as our goal, thus keeping it as simple as possible otherwise it will all become too complicated and people will loose interest.

Well, I have not told any lies as far as I am aware, I know that Mr Edwards regularly reads the topics and post here on HV, so maybe he would like to defend himself if I am wrong...

I have added a few extracts from the Free Radio interview on Trams within this topic, go back a page and you will see the links.

I drive across the country in my capacity as National Manager and I totally agree with your comments greenknght above. I would much prefer to drive across Haywood Lane, then to Ross-On-Wye and along the M50 anyway rather than the nightmare of driving on the A roads. Okay folks can we get back to the topic of Trams as we are going off topic now. I can create a separate topic for the other traffic discussions if required. Anyone else hear the Free Radio interview this morning?
