H Wilson... You say your aunt lives in a modern block flats in Leeds, with respect Leeds isn't Hereford. Keepmoat who has the contract built the block of flats at top of Beattie Ave, they have not got lifts neither has the ones over the road from McDonalds. And both blocks of flats have had and still have problems, as well as all the houses and bungalows at the Oval.

Roger... these are elderly and disabled people you can't put them in flats

In the Oval Development when they demolished the 3 storey flats all the trees were cut down, only to plant more, so lets see what happens in Beattie Ave. They totally ignored the Tree Protection Method Statement at the Oval.!!!

I know the True Independents don't figure in the planning committee, because they had left the Herefordshire Independent / Alliance when the planning committee was formed. According to Bob Matthews first story that appeared in the HT was although they were the largest group on the new council, not one Herefordshire Independent was a member of the cabinet, and he wanted Bernard Hunt on there and the other members of the Alliance said no. So Bob Matthews who was leader of the Herefordshire Independents for 25+ years walked away from the group and his loyal councillors for many years, including myself, and formed the 'true independents' with Bernard Hunt and 3 new councillors. The Alliance councillors did not keep to their election promises to get rid of the Tories and do away with the cabinet, in favour of a committee system, but that doesn't surprise me all they wanted was to be voted in, which the people of Herefordshire believed what they said, now they have decided to not go ahead with the bypass. If they can go back on their promises to the people within a month of being elected, what are they going to do to Herefordshire in the next four years !!!.

Aylestone voice.... Are you a councillor now, as I have thought for a long time you were?. This post is old news now, I have already put it onto my website. As you will now know five of the Independents have left the Alliance and started up their own group True Independents. As I said the Alliance would not last long, and I was right, just a week into the new council and the Independents broke away.

It wasn't the planning, but the police who have objected to the licence.

Roger.... Like you I watched the debate, it wasn't any better than the first debate, other than my favourite Dominic Raab was voted out, Rory Stewart, and Jeremy comments were like a broken record, and its obvious they are Remainers,, so as far as I'm concerned there are only three left to choose from, and I wouldn't choose any of them, I know Boris I met him 8 years ago.

Wasn't impressed by the first debate let hope the one tonight will be better, it will be interesting Boris will be there. BUT NOT RORY

Roger.... was not 'out of touch' when I posted that information the court case was going through, a couple of days later it said on the news it had been quoshed. Apparently the man that brought the case they found out something about him, also he is a Remainer.

There are two live television debates with the candidates for PM, tonight at 6.30pm -8.00pm channel 4 Boris isn't taking part, and Tuesday 8.00pm - 9.00pm channel 1. in which Boris has said he will attend, lets wait and see if he does.

According to news and papers this morning 5 of the candidates are about to drop out of the running for PM, also 4 have admitted taking drugs within the last 20 years. The papers have really gone to town on Michael Gove for taking cocaine also Andrew Marr asked him on his show this morning should he be standing for PM position.

Megilleland.... thanks for confirming the date, but in the HT it was supposed to have been the same day as Ross by-election!

The by-election for Ross North was won by the Lib Dems it in the HT, no mention of who won Whitecross though.

Mick... I was just thinking the same thing, I was half way to copying this story to put on here, you beat me to it. Hope Colin will contact them with his idea of the tram along GWW.

I see the council has gone against Bob Matthews wishes by going with the western route for the bypass, In my opinion we just should have two more river crossing that would be better because at the moment the road would be 'a road to no where' which I said at councila few years ago.

Just read in the HT that after considering his constituents comments that he asked for, he has decided not to run for PM

If I remember correctly the Whitecross was an councillor for IOC, the one for Ross was either an Independent or UKIP, unfortunately the man died while he was canvassing.

hillbilly... I said the Alliance wouldn't last, Bob Matthews always wanted an Eastern bypass, but to give up being the biggest group on the council just because they wouldn't give Bernard Hunt a cabinet post smacks with 'throwing your toys out of the pram' because he couldn't get his own way. He has now put the Tories back in charge with them being the biggest group on the council with 12 councillors. The Alliance fought the election on lies, their main aim was to get rid of the Tories according to all their leaflets. The electorate should demand another election, and start again, they have let down the people of Herefordshire!!

I am pleased this has been refused, we don't need another food store in this area, there are three now and with it being on a very busy cross roads there would not be any parking space for shopper to park, and it would be dangerous.

I see Phil Edwards and his volunteers are taking the credit for this on HT website, also what some people may not know is he asked the Belmont Parish council for £20,000 for this 2 months ago and he was refused the chairman of the parish council told me.

I think Boris Johnson will have a problem of entering the race with court proceedings against him, if it goes the wrong way he could find himself in prison.

Colin, sign this morning, also shared on facebook, Glenda

Are you a councillor? because it is you that is confused, all matters have ALWAYS had to go to the district council, unless IOC who was in charge of city council, because they had the most councillors up to the recent local elections chose to ignore the council rules, which they often did. I can just imagine the problems this Alliance is going to cause, with IOC can't even agree amongst themselves, Independents having allowed the Tories to be part of the administration and given them prominent positions( they are and always have been closet Tories) after the Alliance saying they wanted to get rid of the Tories, that was theirs and IOC election promises to the people of Hereford that's why they got voted in. ONCE AGAIN THE PEOPLE OF Herefordshire HAS BEEN HOODWINKED BY THEIR LIES!!!

Tom... I am not confused, and yes I know the city council is a parish council, where all decisions are made by the district council, which annoys me because when I was a city councillor we would have meetings about the city council, but our decisions would have to go to the district council for approval. I am aware of the Whitecross and Ross by elections, Sue had to resign because of her job,, and the same would apply with the city council, the Ross one is because the UKIP candidate passed away before the election. Please do not try to tell me about council matters there is a timescale in which to serve before you can attempt to change the constitution. In my time as a councillor I also was a board member of the LGA in London which often took me to meetings at the House of Commons. And on one occasion went to10 Downing Street.

Brexit party came top so far, in Hereford Ellie Chowns got in for Greens, so her cabinet seat on the council, they will have to choose someone else.
