Re: Sainsbury's
Actually Steve this application was approved by EHDC although it must be said with serious misgivings about the traffic issue. I was at the Management Development Committee meeting at Castle Hall when this was voted through on a 7/8 split in quite a bizarre development. In fact some months later I a...

Re: Bluecoats Roundabout Congestion
I can't be one hundred per cent certain but the last time this was looked at was possibly during the Tesco application to expand the store. Tesco had a working model of a new roundabout layout and traffic signals as part of the presentation which they were going to heavily subsidise to help the traf...

Re: Vision and Urban Design Strategy
I would echo Steve's remarks. I attended the Stakeholders Workshop yesterday and although most of the issues have been discussed by us all over the years a lot of interesting information came out; even to me. And I thought I knew it all :o . The consultants took the view that they started with a com...

Another public consultation on Hertford Town Centre
I post this in full from the East Herts Council press release: Quote begins: A leading planning and urban design consultancy, Tibbalds, has been commissioned to develop a Vision and Urban Design Strategy for the town centre. Key elements of the study, led by East Herts Council working together with ...
Scope
I noticed that Scope are moving in to the premises in Railway Street previously occupied by Thomas Cook. I am not against charity shops but this will make 8 in the town centre (including Emmaus in North Road). I do not actively subscribe to the favoured opinion that a shop trading whatever it is, is...

Re: Hertford Mosque Planning Application
MultiDad - I Know I am going to be accused of going widely off topic but in your original post you did say 'socialist twang'. Today this is 'leftie twang' and then you go on to talk about New Labour. Being a man with some very odd political views there is no common link between socialism and New Lab...

Re: Forum time
I'm with James on this. I've noticed this for quite a while but down in the bottom right corner of some pages it says UTC +1 but on this page 'all times are UTC'. Mind you my kids have always said I am behind the times but not as much as America who it cannot be denied, are always at least six hours...

Re: Hertford Mosque Planning Application
My apologies. This was a rumour mentioned to me last year and I do have to emphasise that it was relayed to me by someone (forget who) who found the whole thing pretty stupid anyway but had heard this story from a third party. Anyone who could get the idea that Shire Hall could become a mosque is ob...

Re: Hertford Mosque Planning Application
In all my years living and working in this town I still do not know why, how and where these rumours start. Every time a shop goes empty someone will tell me that it is being taken over by Argos. Last year I was angrily accosted by two senior ladies who told me that Wetherspoons had bought Bircherle...

Re: Quarter Day Closures
I know of at least two other long standing traders in town who are currently balancing age, rent and rate rises and declining trade and could close when the balance shifts the wrong way. A few more are also watching to see which way the wind blows. To add to the list there is Ortons Hi-Fi centre in ...
