Wiggin adds support
Leominster MP Bill Wiggin has added his support to the Market Bill currently being steered through Parliament, reports the Hereford Times.
Wiggin had said he would delay or vote against the Bill as he was unhappy about the livestock market being moved to Burghill. However with the change of leadership at Hereford Council and the decision to look for another site for the market, Wiggin will now back the Bill.
"I have been given assurances that the council officials are reconsidering their list of potential sites in consulation with the Environment Agency and I hope that an annoucement will soon be made," he said.
Meanwhile, despite former leader Terry James saying that Hereford had already got enough supermarkets, it appears that the Council may favour Option Three of the four Edgar Street plans which includes a supermarket as this would bring a financial boost to the project. Proposals are being discussed today by the council cabinet.
Option Three has the football ground slightly moved so that it lies at an angle to the existing A49 Edgar Street road.
