I was listening to a Radio 4 programme last night on the cost of running a Council's Pension Fund very shocking I had a little look on the net to see what there was on HC's Pension Fund but surprisingly very little recent stuff has been posted. Anybody know where I can find this information.

Well that makes 2 of us Bobby. If you want to keep graduates in the area you have to provide them with decent careers (not jobs with zero hours and minimum pay) careers with decent money. Now if somebody had come up with idea of a Medical Uni - Hereford alongwith a lot of other counties has a shortage of medical staff/social workers/an excellent home care system - I would have been the first to say whoopie that's so brilliant. The careers are already here in Hereford. But no this is just another pie in the sky pink fluffy clouded idea. I know we are in the minority but hey ho.

Two cracking responses - that's the way to do it!

The police have actually said they want everything reported. If they do not know what is going on in their area how on earth can they argue a case for more staff.

Well EHTS is Marc Wilmott isn't it?

Yes look at poor old Henry VIII

Is there another HC department about to spring up?

Tourism is Herefordshire’s second biggest economy worth over £466 million in 2011, providing more than 8,500 FTE jobs within the county. With over 7,500,000 tourist days enjoyed within the county …" These figures really are puzzling me even if they include Hay on Wye which they do sometimes the figures would not stack up - perhaps a contributor to this site could enlighten me. With all that money buzzing around the county there must be some very very wealthy people hiding in the undergrowth.

It makes you think doesn't it?

I should also add to the above that the majority of the PC live in the area and do actually care about the area!

I was just about to post the same comment but see Flamboyant has already done it. Instead of phoning I would probably copy the correspondence to the PC - they have more the necessary contact details

Oh no he is the man. He has had much success getting funding for the various new roads and the Enterprise Zone - the list is endless or so I have been told.

Will they be sold at true market value or a job lot because of who is the buyer? Gosh looking at the list that is a lot of Hereford City being given/sold over to the new Uni. Am I alone in thinking this isn't such a good idea afterall. They might as well chuck Brockington in as well that seems to be sticking a bit. I would like to see that little lot put on a map of the city centre people would be very surprised at just how much it is. There is nothing wrong with students but because they are students they will not be big spenders they will be getting free healthcare I don't think they pay council tax etc etc is this really such a good idea?

Welcome back hope you've recharged your batteries. There's much to read up on here and the HT. I haven't read your latest contribution yet I'm saving it!

Oh loads of dosh will suddenly appear and don't forget that "we're going to build loads of houses to pay for everything fund"

IOC are laying out their patch on the 7th March as well - it must be kick off day for canvassing

That's fine thank you Meggieland - slightly tongue in cheek efficient transparent and accountable to local people = pah

]View the Planning Code - Herefordshire Council Not 100% but some of it is does anybody know if this is the latest copy of this?

Not 100% relevant but some of it is does anybody know if this is the latest edition of the Planning Code https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/.../G_Part_5_The_Codes_26Feb13.pdf

Give them time they're still getting over Christmas and coming out of hibernation

I see Emma Machin(a frequent poster) has made a FOI request on HC Facebook page on HC's involvement with the Freedom Church and the OLM - oh dearie me

Leadership for what or in what?

If they have changed the use of Marian Fathers Residential Home why have they not applied for planning?

Ah Freedom Church now there's a surprise I think I am correct in saying that one of their top men is standing for election
