Have your say on the development of Hereford city centre

23 April 2008

A public meeting is being hosted by the Hereford City Partnership to gather views on the future development of Hereford city centre as a place to visit, live and enjoy.

The public meeting will be used to gather views on a framework being put in place to ensure the long-term viability of the city centre which is such an important element of the county.

Cllr Adrian Blackshaw, Herefordshire Council cabinet member for economic development and community services, said: "We've been working with a number of stakeholder groups including retailers involved in the city centre to initially establish aims and objectives towards the regeneration of the Hereford City Centre. The aim of this public meeting is to outline the feedback we have had to date and debate some of the issues in a public forum."

"The partnership approach we have adopted with all stakeholders has worked well in gathering ideas, views and concerns. This is the chance for anyone with an interest in Hereford city centre to have a say".

The public meeting will be on Wednesday, April 30, at 5.45pm in Hereford Town Hall.

For any further information contact Natalia Silver, head of economic and community services, on 01432 260732.

The Annual Parish meeting of the City of Hereford will immediately follow this meeting, commencing at 7.15pm.

Residents of Hereford will be able to further debate the issues raised at the previous meeting and also discuss any other local issues with members of Hereford City Council.
