  • Ban Snares for hunting
    It is a barbaric and cruel way of hunting foxes,and rabbits, but also affects many wild and domestic mammals wildlife in Britain. The range is huge and includes, Badgers, rabbits, deer (muntjac and young deer), otters, hares, wild cats, stoats and many many more animals. A petition by MP's has been yadeto the Environment Minister but she has rejected it, on the grounds "hat land management and gamekeeping associations have developed a new code of practice on the use of snares that should be given “a chance to come into effect before even considering any further legislation”. Land mangement and gaming association are driven purely by self interests and could not care less of the suffering endured by snaring. I would not wish a death by snaring to my worst enemy, One must assume we have evolved from medieval practices in the 21st century, so why have snares. We humans should know better by now, then to inflict unnecessary pain and suffering to our fellow creatures, just to serve a few.

  • Child Access and visitation
    I feel that the resident parent is given more rights than the non resident parent. When it comes to visitation the non resident parent has to do all the traveling. In my position I have disabilities which mean I can only use public transport. I also have a minimal income which means a cost of around £150 per visit this is over a weeks money to me which means my health is affected. I am asking that both parent have to do 50% of the traveling and 50% of the school holidays. As many resident parents restrict access by not turning up to meeting places etc. I feel a parent should be there for their child at least 60% of the time.

  • Alert! Green's Hairdressing King Street to Close !
    The reason? A huge rent increase by the council, which makes it impossible for the business to continue trading. So, rather than a busy barber shop, and regular rent, the council will now be lumbered with another empty shop unit. Why so sad? Because they've been cutting my hair, and hundreds of others for 32 years plus. The salon manager David, who has been with the business for 45 years has cut my hair since I was in my teens through many styles and fashions. A loss of valuable expertise. The salon was established at Anderston Cross, by Jack Green in 1923. The business moved to King Street, off Trongate, in the late 1960s, when the M8 tore the heart out of Anderston. STV and the city's papers covered the story when the business celebrated its 90th birthday.

  • Trams For Hereford
    'Herefordshire Transport Alliance' have teamed up with 'Rail and Bus for Herefordshire' campaign to promote alternative transport solutions to those currently being proposed by the Council, who are solely intent on building more and more roads instead of looking at more effective alternatives. The ‘Pre Metro’ light tram system, currently running in Stourbridge, is ideally suited to the size and layout of Hereford, It could advance the cause of a greener economy and be a ‘Feather in Hereford’s Cap.' It could play a major part in the County’s Economic Masterplan to enable everybody accessing Hereford, whether for employment, or use of its shops and services. With a Department for Transport funding (up to £27million) to be used on 'any' measures to relieve congestion in the South Wye area, the tram vision could be a more responsible, sustainable, and better spend than the obscenely ineffective and expensive Southern Link Road – a.k.a. 'the road to nowhere.' It is not too late for the council to look at superior options for the majority to access, rather than encourage more people to continue using their cars for short journeys and/or transpose motorists from one road onto another. As an additional solution to Hereford’s transport problems it would have enormous advantages as a cleaner, efficient solution, and, if constructed alongside safe pedestrian and cycle routes, be accessible for all, including students, women and older people who feel insecure walking along a route where crime is a known hazard. It would also benefit those who do not have a car, or wish to access facilities such as the Courtyard, college, or hospital without facing parking difficulties.“ Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRtcmHErfCI
