Cycle ride turned into thorny horror

4:24pm Thursday 13th November 2008

HEREFORDSHIRE Council must be ashamed at the disgraceful state of some bridleways. I cycled on the bridleway starting south of Sutton St Nicholas from SO 536 446 on OS Explorer Map 202, to SO 540 436, which rapidly became a nightmare of muddy narrow (20 cms) paths.

Peter Mandelson

Dredging the rivers would end misery

12:02pm Friday 31st October 2008

I LIVE in the small and well spread-out village of Hope-under-Dinmore and Newton. We have a very old village hall, which lacks the modern requirements needed these days to survive or entice others to hire it for functions.

I ATTENDED the Edgar Street Review at the Courtyard Theatre recently, and asked one of the 12 or so councillors present whether he knew how many shops in the city were either empty (paying reduced rates), or occupied by charities (paying no rates). He said he hadn’t a clue.

Earning gratitude of bewildered public

PRIVATE banks, having profited hugely by poaching the services which used to be provided by the post office on the grounds that they are more efficient, are now found to be far from safe people to handle money.

12:06pm Friday 31st October 2008

I WOULD like, through the Hereford Times, to say a big thank you to my neighbours and to the kind young people who helped my husband when he had a fall at Shirlheath on October 7, and cut his head badly.
