IT IS pathetic that you cannot buy hot food in Hereford after 1.30am.

This stupid idea of Herefordshire Council is, I assume, designed to prevent a build up of people coming out of nightclubs.

Well, guess what? It does not work, because now people queue at the sandwich bar in Commercial Road or in the 24- hour garage.

So why can we not buy hot food? It’s no wonder many people think the nightlife and everything else is so poor and choose to avoid Hereford altogether.

The council needs to rethink and get into the 21st century.

Hereford is becoming like a ghost town both during the day and night.
