Hereford Voice

Just spotted this lot again over the past few days You cannot miss this lot it is on the main Belmont Road This has been sprayed on the back of someones garage in Belmont.

Another great turnout in support at the Broadleys Pub last night.

This is the leaflet dropped today

Plans to demolish the Broadleys Pub! - ( 3 years on from the original proposal here ) Co-Op proposal dampens the Christmas Spirit. Residents are up in arms that the Co-Op have drop leaflets to their houses this evening with proposals to demolish their local The Broadleys Pub and replace it with a Co-op store! Tonight is the annual community carol service which is always well attended by the community and disappointment in the Co-Op is palpable. Mark Haslam from Herefordshire CAMRA said:

Plans have today been submitted: Planning application P184217/L

A Volvo car has crashed into the wall at St Nicholas Church in Barton Road this afternoon. We are not sure how the vehicle managed to crash into the wall with the car facing in the wrong direction...We understand that an elderly couple were in the car. There is a recovery truck on site and we do not believe anyone was seriously injured. So our question now is should people have a mandatory re-test every two or three years once they reach the age of 70-75?

New Cinema with table service and comfy sofas opening in Hereford next week! The Loft Cinema is opening on December 19 in West Street.

They are also considering running screenings which include a meal during the movie break. For example, having a Sunday lunch from the nearby Stables during a Sunday screening of a classic film.

Agree, also was this person doing this on their way home? If so, they could live in Newton Farm, just a thought..

Another position advertised here

Could this just be where the manager lives?

This graffiti is located at the Oval shops On a wall on the Belmont Road

We have noticed all this new graffiti locally, some will claim it is street art but the bottom line here is that this is plain criminal damage to someones property and this criminal damage costing the taxpayer thousands of pounds for the local council to clean it up. This has popped up at the Oval and along the Belmont Road over the past week.

You asked "What festive gifts are Forum Members' buying in Commercial Street this year?" My daughter want to go to the new Ice Cream Parlour, so I will purchase a gift voucher for her to use as a stocking filler

Ice cream!

Herefordshire Council’s ongoing refurbishment of Commercial Street has been paused for the festive season. The council and our partners, Balfour Beatty Living Places, have been working to improve Commercial Street over the last six months, and the project is on track to be completed in spring 2019. The works will be put on hold over December to ensure there is no disruption to seasonal shoppers, and to allow Hereford’s local residents, businesses and visitors to celebrate Christmas. The teams will return in the New Year to complete delivery of a new vibrant shopping area for residents and visitors. Cllr Barry Durkin, cabinet member transport and regulatory services, said:

Just came through this graveyard and what a mess he has made!

Credit where credit is due, that is pretty good considering

The Police have cordoned off the whole of Clehonger this evening both ends and motorists are being advised to find alternative routes. We will publish further updates as they come in

Herefordshire Council is proposing to invest £1.5m to convert the former Hillside Rehabilitation Unit to nurse residents with dementia. The Redhill centre, which was run by Wye Valley NHS Trust, Hereford Voice reported on it's closure in April after clinical commissioning group representatives said the move would save some £500,000 which would be re-invested in healthcare provision in the community. But now the council, who owns the site, hopes to use it to plug the county’s dire need for nursing facilities for residents with dementia. In a report to this week’s adults and wellbeing scrutiny committee leader Jonathan Lester said: “There is not enough current capacity to meet the high demand for nursing/elderly mental infirm placements. “The risk of not undertaking the redesign of Hillside will exacerbate the current situation by putting a greater strain on the adults budget and will not plan effectively for the expected increase in future demand.”

Restoring this quaint cottage to it's former glory hopefully
