I'm assuming that you can apply to stay open beyond the 0130 threshold, did not realise that the standard times were only until 2300. Thanks for the info Paul, hope that you are well my friend.

Extended hours? I thought the limit under the old rules was close at 0130, so how is closing at 0100 extended hours mate? So not Wok & Rice then that CVP is referring too...

They will do their best to close this club now, they have to consider the new residents in the flats built on that TINY car park at the back of Broadway House, city is becoming a joke. It's a club!! What do they expect, I like this quote from the HT comments:

Good news! I see HC have had restrictions put on the Broadleys, meaning that planning permission would now be required.

Okay guys, thank you one and all. I have received a few private messages from members with their pledges, if you have not already sent me a private message with your pledge could you please send me a pm before 6pm Monday and then I can work out a total spend and advert size. Also need to come up with an advert

I took these late today Glenda, all still there as you can see. And this is actually quite dangerous, there is a drive up the side of these trees for the blue car parked on the kerb that you can see. When you come around this sharp bend the road clearly narrows plus you have to avoid the blue car. The driveway for this car is so overgrown she cannot park on it, hence why she parks on the kerb, which is not ideal. These tree's really need cutting back!!

Glenda, what tree's were your referring too in Glastonbury Close? The ones I pointed out on the corner that are overhanging? As I have had a good look around and no tree's have been cut? Also in the Newton brook where the grey wheelie bin is lay, there is also about 30 empty beers cans among other rubbish, needs a few hours spent on it to clean it out.

No tree's in Glastonbury Close have been cut back yet Glenda??

Refunds I think may be on the way folks see this article. I always knew it was a scam

Refunds I think may be on the way, I always knew it was a scam, see this article

Thank you.

Two years ago, I thought we had seen an airplane on the Belmont Rad before.

Hi Chris, Yes I have just searched and found your original topic here, still no better there then mate?

I agree but surely this is part of BB contract? This mess has clearly been here for months and months this is not something that has happened o the past few weeks I know! This is also Cllr Len Tawn our gracious Mayor's ward.

I took this photograph only yesterday on one of the new grey wheelie bins in the Newton Brook but the mess further along was worse.

A total lack of respect for the local environment! This is Widemarsh Brook taken on Saturday and it was highlighted by Dave Throup (Environment Agency Manager for Herefordshire and Worcestershire)on Twitter today.

I think we should look at the end of the month personally to maximise our exposure.

£170 pledged so far, this is brilliant thanks guys. As soon as we have a total we can work out which size advert and content. Think we need to have a deadline for donations/pledges. Lets say Sunday 22nd February or should we leave it until the end of the month in order to gain more exposure?

And we have been campaigning to remove these traffic lights for years, one Boeing aircraft and they come down.

I have changed the headline, good point.

They have trains and other large items and buildings that the regiment use to train with at Pontrilas, this must just be a replacement for the ones they have blown to bits.

Out on the A465, think we know where it's going now.

Would of been useful today...
