Posted at 11:05 am Read More Wed - December 1, 2010Pulling it out of the bag! - Hereford City PlanThe Hereford City Plan is still on
target to be completed by the end of January 2011. All of the information
gathered over the summer has now been put together into a questionnaire with a
difference and will be dropping through your door in the next week or
so.
So, why is this questionnaire different? Firstly and most important, many of the questions will be specific to the area you live in, so it is very relevant to you. Secondly the answers you give will not become just another wish list, rather your City Councillors will work hard to decide what can realistically be done, and while some hard decisions may have to be made, what can be done, will be done, however long it might take. So, we invite you to take a few minutes to fill in the questionnaire, and then keep it somewhere safe, as City Councillors and local volunteers will be calling on you to collect – before Christmas. Many thanks.
