Knowing where to access information and services - Having the opportunity to remain involved and to become involved in the local community - Being able to access recreational, social and educational activities Community Safety - Feeling and being safer at home - Worrying less about crime - Being less vulnerable to crime - Having more information about crime Employment and Retirement - Avoiding social isolation - Developing positive attitudes towards employing older people - Being able to access employment and fair treatment - Being able to plan ahead for retirement - Having sufficient income in retirement Health and Independence - Ease of access to primary care services - Having accommodation needs met - Receiving assistance at home that promotes independence - Benefiting from person-centred services - Feeling satisfied that service charges are fair Transport and Access - Easy access to service information - Having more services provided in one place - Improving public transport - More reliable services supporting rural areas The strategy document does not provide an action plan detailing how these aims are going to be achieved or a timescale under which they are to be achieved. Peter Fletcher Associates Ltd 3 Hereford Older People’s Housing Needs Study Future social care needs and services for older people and adults with learning disabilities in Herefordshire, Herefordshire Council Corporate Policy and Research Team, September 2006 Compared with generally high‐performing East Riding, Shropshire and Somerset, Herefordshire proportionately provides much lower levels of residential and nursing home care, helps fewer people to live at home, and is slower to complete assessments and provide services. It spends less but has higher unit costs, which is partly because it raises less income from charging service users. It has fewer social workers, care managers, support staff and senior managers. It has much poorer systems for data collection and analysis. Compared with Shropshire, it appears to have a significantly lower level of voluntary‐sector community support that enables people to live fulfilled lives in their own homes and communities. These are needed as the bed‐rock for sustainable and cost‐effective services. They are not about professional social care and should be developed as part of the comprehensive strategy Growing Older in Herefordshire. This community support needs to have good links to professional social care and health services, especially reablement that supports people intensively for a limited time to enable them to return to independent lives in their communities. Other crucial ingredients of future services are: a network of

  • Ward Report – for June 2021 from Your Local County Councillor - Barry Durkin
    Ward Report – for June 2021 From your local County Councillor - Barry Durkin Old Gore Ward Brampton Abbotts, Brockhampton with Much Fawley, How Caple, Kings Caple, Much Marcle, Upton Bishop and Woolhope. Dear Parish Councillors and Residents, welcome to this edition of my ward report I hope you find it interesting and there is a ‘useful information’ section at the end. Herefordshire Council Annual Meeting The meeting had to be held at the Three Counties Hotel as the Shirehall continues to be closed for ceiling repairs. As you can see by the picture below screens separated all the councillors and the whole thing resembled some high class call-in centre. It was good to meet up and see some colleagues who I hadn’t seen for over 14 months. One councillor dressed as a large hedgehog to acknowledge the decline in hedgehogs; I believed although some opinions varied. I believe we should now meet up physically as often as possible partly to send the right signals to those who are nervous of returning back to normal patterns of behaviour. However, I do believe that there is a place for the Zoom meetings, which have proved to be effective in the last year of so. As this was the annual meeting the main purpose is to decide on how Herefordshire Council will be governed in the 2021/22 municipal year. The roles of Leader, Chairman of Council and chairs of committees and scrutiny committees, these were voted upon and appointments were decided. Those elected are illustrated below: Councillor Hitchiner has been elected Leader of Herefordshire Council.

  • Hereford Design Guide Responses
    Our ref: SV/2018/109876/SD- Herefordshire Council 01/IS1-L01 Local and Neighbourhood Planning Your ref: Plough Lane Hereford Date: 11 March 2019 HR4 0LE Dear Sir/Madam HEREFORD DESIGN GUIDE CONSULTATION Thank you for consulting the Environment Agency on the Hereford Design Guide. We have reviewed the document and would offer the following comments for your consideration at this time. For background we have previously engaged in discussions with your Council on the now adopted Core Strategy which included Policy SD3 (Sustainable water management and water resources). This Policy makes reference to safe design, including setting appropriate floor levels and pedestrian and vehicular access. The Policy also seeks to ensure that water conservation and efficiency are included in all new development. We are currently reviewing your Councils Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) and are engaged in discussions around the forthcoming Hereford Area Plan (HAP), to which this design guide is linked. Whilst we support the submitted document we would recommend reference to flood risk and sustainable water management to ensure that the detail is considered in the ongoing development of the City Centre. Development and Design: Policy SD1 (Sustainable design and energy efficiency) states that development proposals, including change of use, should utilise water conservation measures and demonstrate how they have been designed to make them resilient to climate change in respect of carbon reduction, water efficiency and flood risk. We would recommend that you include a section on the need for water efficiency standards. You should look to see how you might either join up with the policy requirement (for minimum water consumption standards) perhaps with an advisory section on the type of water efficiency that could be employed, with some best practice examples.

    Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru / National Assembly for Wales Pwyllgor yr Economi, Seilwaith a Sgiliau/ Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee Masnachfraint Rheilffyrdd a chyflwyno Metro / Rail Franchise and the Metro Ymateb gan Cyngor Swydd Henffordd / Evidence from Herefordshire Council Introduction Herefordshire council is a unitary authority in the West midlands region. Herefordshire has two stations that sit within the Wales and Borders franchise. The two stations area Hereford and Leominster. The stations themselves are also managed by Arriva Trains Wales. These stations sit on the Marches Rail line and provide connections to Shrewsbury, Manchester, Cardiff, Newport and South Wales. In April 2015 Herefordshire Council adopted its Local Plan Core Strategy (LPCS). The LPCS sets out the 15 year vision of development and improvements within the county. Some key developments include proposals for an additional 6,500 new houses and 15ha of employment land in Hereford. It is proposed that Leominster receive a further 2,300 homes and an additional 10ha of employment land. The LCPS includes major infrastructure projects, which will shape Herefordshire, including the Hereford City Centre transport package (HCCTP). The HCCTP includes a new city link road linking Commercial Street to Edgar Street and a new transport hub fronting Hereford railway station. The other packages include the South Wye Transport Package and Hereford Transport Package, each offering major developments in infrastructure for Hereford. Leominster will also be subject to new infrastructure with the southern link road and associated active travel measures. The LCPS has been supported by the adoption of the Council’s Local Transport Plan 2016-2031 (LTP), which was adopted in March 2016.
