    One of those moments in life that I know exactly where I was when I heard the news. I was a 17 yr old painting the gable end of my neighbours house for £20

    Lets hope this absurd idea gets thrown out.

    Contractual obligation with Herefordshire Council to make sure parking charges are on par with their own car parking charges.

    WTF are the actually spending over 700 grand on in St Owen st ???? All it needs is a few signs and lines painted on the roads.

    We needed money to improve the area around the duck pond. New fencing,better planting of flower beds, areation pump etc but end up with sweek FA. I mwan the cost of two of them £10,000 planters would of done it.

    You and the rest of that committiee need to wake up and smell the coffee John.People are angry, I get that the money was there but you quite simply fail to get that spending a near £10,000 on each planter is a disgusting waste of money.You never asked the public what they wanted doing with the money did you. You also failed to point out that these planters are actually temporary until they can be properly dug in. Just a thoughtless rushed idea. The way to go about improving the air quality is to sort out our road infrastructure by reducing the constant start stop build up of traffic from traffic lights that are on a generic timer and not ground/traffic monitoring sensors which they all should be on.Removing some sets of totally unnecessary traffic lights and replacing some junctions ie all along the link road with roundabouts that incorporate pedestrian priority crossings for a start. But anyone with a brain can tell that all you are going to do is put pollution sensors in so you can justify bringing in a clean air charge in parts of the City. Highways England also need to be told to sort the timing of the lights at Asda roundabout.Why are the lights for Belmont Road on green for 11 seconds less than Ross Road,a road that has two lanes and far less traffic in the mornings creating a mile long tail back of traffic that's there for most of the day? Little things improve traffic flow but you have done nothing since you came into office ...Nothing.

    Commercial transport air pollution accounts for around 85% so I'm wondering why we need to spend hundreds of thousands on air monitoring systems in Hereford. Call me cynical but I think its a ploy by Herefordshire Council to implement some sort of money making clean air scheme where you will pay to go into certain parts of Hereford.

    It's gets worse. Spending over £700,000 on replacing the kerbs in Widemarsh St & over half a million on tree planters. All this while telling me the council did not have the money to implement the trial turning off of the Asda traffic lights and ignoring the horrendous traffic situations all around the City. I for one cannot wait to boot some of these incompetent morons who totally ignore the voices of the public out of office.

    It's the same old same old with John. Whilst I think he wants to do the right thing most of the time all the other Councillors take no notice of him. Couple that with the mixture of Tories,Ind, greens etc that we have we are asking for trouble really so until most of them are singing from the same book nothing will ever be done.

    Just been confirmed as Jan. Terrible news.

    Another year unfortunately.

    I think people forget the World literally ran out of PPE. The UK procured 32 billion items of ppe that was used to manage COVID-19, February to July 2020 alone.

    Cyclists should be made to use cycle lanes.

    Just submitted dash cam footage to police of a Female driver going through this pedestrian crossing at speed on red narrowly missing two people about to cross road today.
  18. ragwert
    Already contacted. H'e's sorting it though they better not be there tomorrow grouting them in as I'll be doing something about it. Notice whoever took the blocks up have broke a few paving stones.It's like they don't give a sht

    Lets hops its not done by the complete idiots who are relaying these in Commercail Rd

    Getting Herefordshire Council to do anything constructive is near impossible and their excuses to not do anything seem to be the norm.
  21. ragwert
    All talk no action,sick of it like everyone else is John. Two & a half years and the Council have got nowhere with dealing with traffic situation.Instead they get hairbrained ideas like this.
  22. ragwert
    Is there a job going for someone to tackle the traffic problems in Hereford because lets face it, nobody in this current NOC City Council has a clue what to do.
  23. ragwert
    You can see well over 60% of this funding being swallowed up and then they will get the usual susoects to quote for the work.
  24. ragwert
    I'll be there.

    We are working towards a masterplan for the City environs and will consult fully with all stakeholders and the public to get the best input for the vision we hopefully all share for our vibrant city and market towns. A few questions about this master plan.* Who are these people working towards a master plan. Do they live or travel in Hereford. What professional expertise do they have. Have they been tested to see if they have common sense.
