Thank you

Just a note to say thank you, I read your web paper every Tuesday, and on Sundays, when I phone my mother who still lives in Ross-On-Wye, it gives me an insight into what is been going on.

I lived in Ross while growing up and still have very fond memories, I used to enjoy a glass of GL now and then and found myself in many taverns. Please keep up the good work it is appreciated by those who love the place that we all still call home.

Thanks for the invitation, sent via the Wyenot News editorial form. I realize that you are not from Great Britain and may not know the geography well but if you do happen to be visiting Ross-on-Wye before your performance, I wouldn't take a taxi. Edinburgh is about 400 miles north of here. Good luck with your first performance though!

Parking in Ross

Hello Alan, A very good site, plenty of information and easy to use. We are stopping on the way through from Norwich to St David’s tomorrow, just a suggestion from a visitors point of view. Would it be possible to put some info regarding parking, where the short / long term parking areas are, and the charges. Just a suggestion but carry on the good work of informing us “tourists” trying to discover our country. Regards Paul Hurst.

Thanks for that, Paul. That is a good idea and I will certainly add this information over the next week or so.

Parking in Ross is a subject close to my heart at the moment as I have just had a battle with Herefordshire County Council over a parking ticket and I lost. My mum died a short time ago and the day after her funeral, my mind was elsewhere when I drove to a Ross car park, which was extremely busy. After waiting for a while for a space, somebody behind me drove out of a slot so I reversed in using mirrors, not noticing that it was a 'disabled' slot. The only markings were on the ground underneath my car and I didn't notice them in the mirror whilst reversing. They told me that there is no need for eye level 'disabled' signs in a car park and tried to tell me that there was a crosshatch yellow marking next to where I got out of my car but on later inspection I noticed that there was not. It was on the opposite side of the car to the driver's door of the slot next to the one I used - not the one I was in.

I got a 30 quid parking ticket, even though I had paid my £0.90 to park there for four hours. To add insult to injury, I had parked there in the first place to photograph an event in town for the benefit of Ross-on-Wye. They still made me pay. I fully understand the need for disabled parking as my mother herself was disabled for thirty years but my parking wrongly that day was purely accidental. Ross-on-Wye is a lovely town and has a good Town Council. Herefordshire County Council on the other hand are ... well I guess you can picture my thoughts on that subject! I'm waiting for that moment when I have a full bladder and see a Herefordshire Traffic Enforcement Officer on fire. I'll pee on the ground next to him!
