Road ahead closed and diversion signs

Road Closure C1099 Tillington to Credenhill

Letter from Herefordshire Council to Local residents:

We need to let you know about some work we’re due to do on the C1099 Tillington to Credenhill.

Drainage Repair Work: Works will be taking place under a full road closure, starting on Monday, 6 December 2021 to (and including) Tuesday, 14 December 2021. The type of work we’re doing will mean we need to fully close the road for the duration of the project – that will be 24/7. We’ve attached a plan showing exactly where it’ll all be happening.

The fully signed diversion route for cars/LGVs is via the C1099 Tillington / Tillington Road / A4103 Stretton Sugwas / A480 Credenhill and vice versa.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. At Balfour Beatty we work in partnership with Herefordshire Council to minimise the impact of our work and try to keep all disruption to a minimum – we appreciate your patience.

We may need to change the programme of work in certain circumstances, such as bad weather. We’ll make sure we highlight all changes on advance warning signs, which you’ll find onsite at the roadworks. You can also follow us on Twitter via @HfdsStreets and Facebook via Herefordshire Highways for updates on roadworks.

If you have any questions, you can email us at Herefordshire.projectcomms@balfourbeatty.com.

Yours faithfully,

Customer Services

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH LAUNCHES ‘SAY NO TO ASB’ CAMPAIGN

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH LAUNCHES ‘SAY NO TO ASB’ CAMPAIGN

Antisocial behaviour (ASB) incidents have increased over the last three years. Police forces, councils and housing associations are reporting significant spikes in ASB cases – and these are not minor incidents. They are complex and serious cases causing real harm to many people. 

45% of people say ASB is a problem where they live, and 56% of those who had either been a victim of or a witness to ASB did not report it to anyone. *

To help tackle the issue, we are running a campaign encouraging people to SAY NO TO ASB.  The campaign will run from the 25th October through to the 21st November on our social channels with key information on recognising, recording, and reporting ASB on our website: ourwatch.org.uk/asb.

We are running a free online ‘SAY NO TO ASB’ webinar on 15th Novemberat 5pm with the charity ASB Help as part of the campaign. Places are limited. To book your place, visit ourwatch.org.uk/webinars.

HOW TO SUPPORT THE CAMPAIGN

Bus service improvement plan survey

Have your say on plans to improve Herefordshire bus services – Friday 16 July to Sunday 15 August 2021

The government recently published its national bus strategy for England called Bus back better. The strategy is encouraging local authorities to work with bus operators to create plans for improving their local bus services and encouraging more people to use them.

The strategy comes with the promise of £3 billion in funding across England to support this and Herefordshire Council intends to bid for funding to be used locally.

Bus service improvement plan for Herefordshire

In response to the national bus strategy, we will be drafting a bus service improvement plan (BSIP) for Herefordshire, in collaboration with the county’s bus operators, and other stakeholders. We aim to publish the final plan on the councils website in October 2021.

Let us know your views

In drafting the plan, it’s important for us to know what you think would improve local bus services and what would encourage you to use local buses more.

We are keen to hear from people who already use buses and from those who currently don’t. We also want to hear from public, private and voluntary organisations who have an interest in local bus services and making them work better.

We would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey and encourage others to do so. The survey can be found at www.herefordshire.gov.uk/bus-survey.

WHY ‘SLING YOUR HOOK’?

The campaign taps into the psychology that scammers use to hook people in, helping you stay one step ahead and protect yourself and your loved ones against the increasing variety of scams happening every day. We’ve identified the following five behaviours scammers commonly use:

•           They imply they’re doing you a favour (reciprocity)

•           They indicate everyone else is doing this (social proof)

•           They say your only chance is to act now (urgency)

•           They act like they’re similar to you, so you like them and want to please them (connection)

•           They ask you to do one little thing which makes you do more (commitment).

We also know that often victims of scams report that in hindsight they felt something wasn’t quite right at the time.  This campaign aims to raise awareness of the tactics scammers use and encourages people to ‘stop and think’ if something doesn’t FEEL, SEEM, LOOK or SOUND right.  This allows them time to trust your gut instinct and help prevent becoming a scam victim.

“Everyone likes to feel special. But watch out! If a stranger is going out of their way for you, something fishy may be going on instead. Scammers like to offer one-off deals and favours. Don’t be afraid to tell them no.” John Hayward-Cripps, CEO of Neighbourhood Watch Network

Talk Community Update

Can you help vulnerable residents during the heatwave?

As the current heatwave continues this week, we’re asking everyone across the county, to help us look after those residents within our local communities, who may be more vulnerable during the hot weather.

This is the perfect time to give a little something back to your local community, by volunteering to give an hour to help everyone stay safe and well.

If you have a website or social media accounts and would like to share our heatwave messaging, please visit our Facebook or Twitter pages.  Alternatively, you can also use any of the attached images from Public Health England.

For advice to stay cool, comfortable and safe in the summer sun, visit www.talkcommunitydirectory.org/summer.

Knife Angel Visit to Hereford Cathedral – 14 June to 12 July

The Knife Angel will be situated outside the West End of Hereford Cathedral from 14June to 12 July.  The sculpture is 27ft tall, it weighs 3.5 ton and is made out of 100,000 confiscated knives received from 43 Police Forces across the UK. It originated from The British Ironwork Centre in Oswestry and took sculptor Alfie Bradley over two years to construct. It has been on tour round the UK and has become a national monument against violence and aggression in all its forms. Not only does the Angel act as a catalyst for turning the tide on violent and aggressive behaviour, but it is also acts as a beautiful memorial designed to celebrate those lives who have been lost through these violent and thoughtless actions.

The team responsible for bringing the Knife Angel to Hereford is headed by Alison Davies and Meryl Cain. Alison lost her son Mark to knife crime in 2018. The team want to raise awareness of the catastrophic impact violent crime has on individuals, families and communities.

Inside both the cathedral and Hereford Library, there will be boards displaying work carried out in response to the Knife Angel by children and young people.  The project team will also share work via social media.  Hereford City Youth Council have also arranged a series of workshop events throughout the month including creative arts and self-defence coaching.

The knife angel creators would like as many young people as possible to become anti-violence champions and have created an anti-violence certificate as a thank you to all young people who stand up to violence.  There will be printed copies of the certificate available at the Knife Angel for those who visit.
