VILLAGE WALK - The Wacky Walkers will meet at 10.30am at the Moon Inn, Mordiford to order food on Saturday, before a walk that should take no more than three hours. There is a long steep climb included.

VILLAGE CRIME - The five villages within the parish group managed to stay crime free for the month of July according to West Mercia Constabulary’s local policing report.

Anything suspicious seen should be reported it to the police on 03003 333000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Our local police officer is PC Pamela Epton. We are warned to be aware of scam telephone calls asking for bank details by offering lower bank and credit card charges – do not pass any personal details.

BT KIOSK - The kiosk situated in the centre of Bishopstone village has had a new BT notice stuck inside it offering the box for adoption. The parish clerk has been in touch with Herefordshire Council and is assured that we are on the list for the adoption of the red telephone kiosk (without its working parts) and that it will not be removed surreptitiously.

ESG MEETING - A joint meeting of the parishes within the Wormsley Ridge ward was held in the village hall at Wellington on August 11, to meet representatives from ESG Ltd. Chaired by our ward councillor, the meeting was told of the plans to modernise Hereford city and this was followed by a healthy question and answer time that had to be closed as the clock passed 9pm.

MOBILE LIBRARY - The next visit to Bishopstone will be on Wednesday, September 2, between 10.45am and 11.15am.
