Pulling it out of the bag! - Hereford City Plan
The Hereford City Plan is still on
target to be completed by the end of January 2011. All of the information
gathered over the summer has now been put together into a questionnaire with a
difference and will be dropping through your door in the next week or
so.
So, why is this questionnaire different? Firstly and most important, many of the questions will be specific to the area you live in, so it is very relevant to you. Secondly the answers you give will not become just another wish list, rather your City Councillors will work hard to decide what can realistically be done, and while some hard decisions may have to be made, what can be done, will be done, however long it might take.
So, we invite you to take a few minutes to fill in the questionnaire, and then keep it somewhere safe, as City Councillors and local volunteers will be calling on you to collect – before Christmas. Many thanks.
For more information contact Pauline Striplin Project Co-ordinator, Hereford City Play, on 01432 262970, or paulines@comfirst.org.uk

Urgent request for help - Sat 15 August - Castle Green
On Saturday 15 August Friends of
Castle Green are are holding a joint event with the Three Choirs Festival
"FESTIVAL FUN ON THE CASTLE GREEN". For the day to be a success, they need
to be able to erect their small marquee. Normally they have a group of
volunteers who do this for every event, but for this one, many of them are on
holiday leaving them desperately short of willing hands. Please can any
able bodied Friend who is free at 11am on Saturday 15th turn up and help?
The marquee is very well designed and is easily erected without any training and
there will be a couple of experienced volunteers there to give direction as well
as getting stuck in themselves. If you cannot make it at 11am please help take
it down at 7pm that evening - or do both and stay for the fun
inbetween!
They also need at least 6 people to steward the archery display at 3pm in the afternoon. Again, no experience necessary, this will simply be a crowd control role to ensure nobody gets hurt by flying arrows.
If you feel you can help please let Mark Hubbard know on 01432 272684 or by email mark.a.f.hubbard@btopenworld.com.

The Future of the Community Association
The CA was founded in 2002, triggered
by the proposed redevelopment of the General Hospital site and the desire for
residents to have their say about the proposals. From this, the CA has grown and
evolved and the Executive Committee now consider that its aims and objectives
would benefit from a review at the forthcoming AGM. The current role of the CA
is now more of an 'umbrella', overseeing and supporting a number of vibrant
groups underneath it, including the JABA newsletter itself, the JABA web site,
the Community Travel Plan, JABA in Bloom and Flicks in the
Sticks.
As JABA is now established as a well supported and widely distributed newsletter (with its associated web site), information can be easily disseminated without the need for regular CA meetings. In the last couple of years, it has been harder to persuade residents to attend these meetings (themselves reduced in frequency), despite a number of excellent speakers giving freely of their time, and the Executive Committee consider that these have probably run their course and should be discontinued. Instead, 'Special Events' will be promoted, as and when the demand or need arises. The Executive Committee will ensure that the initial aims of the CA continue to be upheld. If you have any views on these proposals or indeed would like to contribute to the CA in some way, then do please come to the AGM, details above.
UPDATED: Chairmans report now available to download or click on 'Read more'.
FURTHER UPDATE: minutes now available to download.

Living Streets audit for St Owen's St - 27, 28 and 29 November
Herefordshire
Council has commissioned national public spaces charity Living Streets to carry
out a Community Street Audit of the walking environment in the St. Owen Street
area of Hereford. This project is part of the Council’s ongoing work to
improve walking and cycling routes to and from the city centre.
The aim of this audit is to provide the Council with an overview of the issues facing people using the St. Owen Street area on foot, and to draw up a list of possible ideas that would improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists in the area. The audit may identify opportunities to improve the street scene and change the way road space is used, or indicate a need for better street lighting, removal of obstructions, improvements to footway surfaces, or better crossing points, for example.
We need to know what you think about walking and cycling in the St. Owen Street area. Please come along to one of our informal Community Consultation Meetings being held discuss the audits and to brainstorm the key issues affecting walking and cycling in St. Owen Street – these meetings will take place in St. Peter’s Hall, St. Peter’s Square, Hereford at 2pm and again at 7pm on Thursday 27th November 2008. The meetings will let us explain the processes Living Streets adopts, and will give you an opportunity to raise your issues and ideas for the streets in your area. We also hope to recruit volunteers (of all ages and abilities) at these meetings to come on the audits.
The essential part of the audit process is a live assessment of the streets and public spaces through your eyes, to harness your local knowledge and experience. To achieve this, Living Streets will be conducting a series of short community walking audits with volunteers in the St. Owen Street area on Friday 28th November at 2pm and again at 7pm, and on Saturday 29th November at 10am and 1pm. We will walk the streets in small groups and listen to what you think of the routes, so please do put the dates in your diaries now! Read more ...

Sustrans Connect2 wins £50 million - Hereford wins new pedestrian and cycle bridge!
This
just in from Herefordshire Council: "The result will be formally announced on
the ITV news this evening though some of you may have seen it on the lunchtime
news. I'd like to echo the words below from Sustrans Chief Executive, John
Grimshaw MBE and thank everyone involved - we've had a tremendous amount of
support for our project and it was very encouraging when the emails came in from
all quarters offering support and urging people to
vote.
A process that has been echoed nationally 79 times and even locally, the Wye and Severn rivers between them boast five Connect2 schemes in all: Diglis Lock, Worcester; The Severnside Gap in Shrewsbury; our own Hereford -Rotherwas bridge; Wye and Monnow crossings in Monmouth; and a further Wye crossing at Tintern.
More thanks still are due to the very many people and organisations who got behind Hereford's Connect2 scheme and helped get the message out and about too. The whole process has been a testament to the power of community working and we look forward to the project getting under way soon. Thanks again for all your efforts - you were all magnificent! PLEASE PASS IT ON! Together we have won £50 million. (£350k for Hereford's scheme).
From John Grimshaw, Sustrans CEO: “This is a fantastic Christmas present! We are delighted that Sustrans’ Connect2 has proved itself the peoples’ favourite in the public vote and won the £50million from the Big Lottery Fund. We are immensely grateful to Herefordshire supporters and everyone who got behind Hereford’s Connect2 scheme to bridge the gap between Rotherwas and Hereford to make their votes count.
As a massive public consultation exercise Connect2 has engendered a huge amount of goodwill from all sectors. It has confirmed our belief that people want to walk and cycle more when given the right surroundings. But the hard work starts now and there will be a huge amount to be done to make sure we fulfil all our obligations to the Big Lottery Fund. Ultimately the real winners will be those thousands of people who will now be able to Connect2 their shops, schools, workplaces and each other every day!”

Welcome to our Community Travel Plan Section
Before
... and after ... what could be ... discussion, prevarication, obfuscation,
political point scoring, County/City Councils bickering ... we've had it all
since 2001, when all we want to do is make our streets safer and our community a
better place to live. We've achieved a little, but we're still fighting for a
lot more.
Residents of the St James and Bartonsham area of Hereford are working with Herefordshire Council to reduce car dependency and improve conditions for walking and cycling and also to increase transport choice for residents and visitors. This can be achieved through a combination of street design improvements and safer cycling, walking and public transport routes within St James and to the rest of Hereford.
See the updates below for the latest.

New opportunities to work, train and volunteer on County's Leading Youth Magazine
Youth
Times - the youth-led media project that provides a voice for young people in
Herefordshire is seeking volunteers and people interested in training or working
on the project.
"If you already have some media skills and experience of working with young people we may be able to offer you work on the project", said Adrian Lambert, Director of Youth & Education at The Rural Media Company which runs the Youth Times project. He went on to say, "If you are under 25 and are interested in developing creative media skills and sharing them with young people, we may be able to offer a training placement to put you on the road to becoming a qualified youth media worker."
As well as gaining practical media and communications skills and literacy, young people say Youth Times also enhances their confidence and status because their views and opinions about local communities and wider society are taken more seriously. Young people produce Youth Times' e-magazine InSITE (www.insitemag.net), which explores topics from the very local to the global.

SATURDAY - 12.30pm - Borough Theatre. Entrepreneurs and Artisans. Tickets: £5.00
Is small always beautiful? Is bigger always worse? Will tomorrow's 'artisan food hero' inevitably become tomorrow's corporate demon? Three entrepreneurs who have ridden the wave from small beginnings, talk about the pressures and the challenges that come with growth. Rufus Carter is Director of The Patchwork Traditional Food Company, the renowned pate-making company founded on his mother's kitchen stove. William Chase is the potato farmer who invented brand-leader Tyrrells Potato Chips. Mitch Tonks started the first FishWorks to create a 'fishmonger's with tables'. There are now twelve. Matthew Fort is The Guardian Food and Drink Editor.
SATURDAY - 2.00pm - Borough Theatre. Who Killed Healthy Eating? Tickets: £5.00
Britain emerged from the war with its population better fed than ever before. New technologies in agriculture and food science promised to banish the spectre of dietary disease for ever. Today it is back on the agenda. What happened to healthy eating? James Fergusson is the author of The Vitamin Murders - an investigation into the post-war agro-chemical industry. Andrew Whitley is an artisan baker and campaigner for real bread. His book Bread Matters won this year's Andre Simon Award. Jonathan Harrington is an agricultural biologist who has worked in Africa and as a crop consultant in the UK. Joanna Blythman is Britain's leading investigative food journalist and author of several award-winning books. Her most recent book is Bad Food Britain.
SUNDAY - 11.00am. People, Plants & Genes. Tickets: £5.00
Why is it that out of tens of thousands of edible plants in the world, humankind has only gone on to domesticate a few dozen? Denis Murphy applies the latest advances in modern genetics to answer questions of how, when and where crops came to be domesticated and explores the symbiotic relationshsip between people and food plants over 50,000 years of evolution. Denis Murphy is Professor of Biotechnology at Glamorgan University and author of Plants, People and Genes: The story of crops and humanity. Jonathan Harrington is a crop biologist who has worked in Africa and the UK.
TICKETS FOR THESE EVENTS CAN BE PURCHASED FROM THE BOROUGH THEATRE ON 01873 850805
