I'm from Worcester and we visit Hereford on occasion as we have family there. We have friends in Gloucester and they have reported nothing but bad news from the recent quays development there in terms of it destroying the city centre almost over night. Read the Gloucester local press for the bad feeling surrounding this development. But this of course is only my opinion and that’s all I'm able to give but try and keep Hereford as Hereford and don’t fall into he development trap, lobby for investment in the historic heart of Hereford, a good example is the new library and history centre that they have begun building in Worcester its on brown field land and seems as though it will only add to Worcester. I feel these out of town developments are the nail in the coffin for most towns and cities, please don’t let Hereford become another ghost town, it’s a lovely place and best of luck with keeping it that way.
