Good evening,
Welcome to another Ross-on-Wye weekly newsletter. This is to keep you up-to-date with what is going on in your town and the news that affects you.
Ross-on-Wye, Newent, Ledbury could get new bus route by Easter
Just over a year since Stagecoach axed the bus service between Ross-on-Wye, Newent and Ledbury, it could be revived.
Community support has been gathering for the so-called Daffodil Line, with campaigners hoping to get the route started up Easter.
From protesting teenagers at John Kyrle, to town and parish councils pledging financial support, the route should now also take in Much Marcle - something the 132 never did.
It should be great for the village, which has been without a bus for years, and hopefully, it will be used and not lost again.
Council tax set to go up by 4.99 per cent
Perhaps it's not surprising, but Herefordshire Council's cabinet wants to hike council tax by 4.99 per cent.
You can read more below, but is this fair or justifiable? Do you want the current administration to retain control after May's local elections? Are they doing a good job?
Let us know your thoughts by writing a letter to the editor here.
