Local Ledbury traders have pledged to keep fighting to preserve town parking spaces after being told that Herefordshire Council will consider plans for alternative parking. Paul Nicholas, assistant director of environment and culture, had promised to work with town councillors and business owners to find an acceptable solution, but many remain unconvinced that real efforts will be made to maintain current parking provision as no work had been done on identifying alternative sites until the traders began their protest.

Writing to the Hereford Journal, local Parliamentary Candidate Lucy Hurds has slammed the decision by Herefordshire Conservatives to axe the current planning system. The Conservative Council Leadership has voted to stop local councillors having a say on planning decisions. In an effort to push through unpopular decisions on developments such as the Edgar Street Grid area and windfarms on the Welsh Borders, the Council Cabinet has acted to cut off any challenges from fellow councillors.

Children from Bromyard's Queen Elizabeth Humanities College have been having their say on a pilot project to promote youth volunteering, combined with green activities such as trade recycling. The scheme will aim to reward young people who give their time and energy as volunteers, providing out-of-school activities and helping towards qualifications. Pupils have been giving their reactions to the plan and have made many suggestions about what they would like to see happen for young people in the Bromyard area.

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain. "
Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy. "
