Good for you my friend, I tend to agree with your description too but then again I think it is not limited to just this church...

Glad to hear that you friend took your advice. I have been informed that it is like a small cult.. money obviously is a good reason for recruiting too.

I agree dippy, right weird lot if you ask me but then again I am an atheist so does my opinion still count? lol

Yes, I meant to post this earlier in the week. Very sad news that yet another club in Hereford is closing down.

You might be surprised but the LED lights were installed in Belmont 3 years ago in February 2012. How time flies

To be fair, the whole road was resurfaced the other week, so good news and a great result here, long overdue but it was done in the end. Thanks to Bob and Chris for you help on this one.

This is no real excuse for not addressing this issue, it will be too late when a lone person is attacked after being refused a taxi home during the early hours.

I think this is the photo that Phil took and is referring too.

I am warning smartieno1 and Alex, calm it down or you will both have your posts moderated or face a ban, I am getting fed up with having to monitor these posts. You are acting like kids, either join in the debate and post sensible constructive comments or do not post at all.

They have demolished one block of flats now they have started on the main blocks facing the Belmont Road, all part of the Oval Regeneration.

It's growing

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) 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.

No. They were not available until recently and then they reappeared so I have uploaded them all in one go.

Cabinet to consider next steps for Edgar Street Herefordshire Council will consider the future of the Edgar Street Athletics Ground at a cabinet meeting on January 22 2015. The cabinet members will decide the process for seeking a new football tenant for the pitch and ancillary sports facilities as are considered appropriate. The tenancy at the Edgar Street facility will be advertised through an open public advertisement process and expressions of interest sought. This will be done with transparency and full public consultation with stakeholders. Cllr Tony Johnson, leader of Herefordshire Council said, “We are very keen to ensure that football continues at the site as quickly as possible. It has been a long and arduous journey for the fans of Hereford United and we seek to bring some stability back to the ground as soon as we can. We will seek expressions of interest from all interested parties and will aim to have a new tenant for the ground by the beginning of March 2015.” Source
