Friday 13th, 9:50am, Shire Hall

Friday 13th November is an important date in the campaign diary.

We are presenting the “petition so far” to the Chairman of the Council on the steps of the Shire Hall at 10am. We are calling on all our supporters to arrive at 9.50am to show the level of support the campaign has.

We can confirm that all of the shops in Chruch Street will be closing their doors in support of the petition; this is quite a remarkable and powerful message to Herefordshire Council, proving the depth of feeling and the level of support the campaign enjoys amongst the locally owned businesses in Hereford City.

Big notices will be pinned to all of the doors of the closed shops apologising to their customers for any inconvenience and inviting them to join the campaign at the Shirehall. We expect the petition to reach 10,000 names by the time of the presentation which must be one of the biggest petitions presented in Hereford for many years and it’s only been 10 short weeks since the campaign was launched.
