Service update – Microsoft Outlook service disruption
We are aware of a global Microsoft service disruption which may affect Outlook and other Microsoft services.
As a result, some of Herefordshire Council's online forms and enquiries may be affected. This is because many of the forms submitted through our website are delivered to our teams via email.
If you need to contact us about something urgent, please do not rely on submitting an online form at this time. Instead, please contact the relevant service by telephone, or call customer contact centre, contact numbers - Contact us - Herefordshire Council
For anything that is not urgent, you can continue to use our website, although there may be delays in receiving or responding to submissions.
We are monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as necessary.
Making a compulsory purchase order is a statutory procedure that gives the council the power to compulsorily acquire all of the land and property required for a scheme. However the powers can only be used if approved by the Secretary of State following the consideration of any objections received.
The council has the legal right to buy or take rights over your private property:
- If it falls within a public redevelopment scheme, such as new roads, town centre developments and urban regeneration
- To remove unfit housing
If there are any current compulsory purchase orders we will list them on this page.
