Official account of Herefordshire Council Proud to serve & support the people of our beautiful county, delivering the best for Herefordshire in everything we do
This morning, our Chief Executive Paul Satoor and Cllr Stoddart joined others at Hereford station to pay respects to those who have served past & present. Wreaths were placed onto the 05:23 train to Paddington, where on arrival they will be placed at the War Memorial inside the station. Lest we forget.
The Council Tax Reduction Scheme consultation has been extended until Friday 13 November, giving residents more time to have their say.
We want to find a fair balance: continuing to support people on low incomes, while being fair to residents who pay their council tax and helping protect the essential local services we all rely on.
Have your say by Friday 13 November.

Preparations are underway for Remembrance events across Herefordshire.
Herefordshire Council is carrying out work at memorial sites in Hereford, Bromyard and Ledbury ahead of this year鈥檚 commemorations, helping to ensure they are ready for people to gather and pay their respects.
War memorials and surrounding areas are being cleaned and prepared, flower beds tended, and spaces made ready for the laying of wreaths and remembrance crosses. Safety checks and repairs are also being carried out, alongside cleaning and litter picking in nearby public areas.
On the day of the commemorations, road closures, diversions and traffic management measures will be in place where needed to allow ceremonies to take place safely.
These preparations, carried out by teams from the council and our partners at M Group, help ensure that communities across Herefordshire can come together in remembrance, honouring those who served and paying tribute to those who gave their lives for King and Country.
