Two 'Events' At Hereford Today

Whilst most Hereford United supporters will be following events at Edgar Street where new manager Simon Davey is to be presented to the press at 10am, another event just a couple of miles away will also have an effect on the club.

At 2pm there will be a 'synchronised turf cutting ceremony' next to the Roman Road where construction of Hereford's new livestock market is about to begin.

"The creation of the new livestock market is key to unlocking a huge area of land in Hereford's city centre and safeguarding our important farming heritage and economy for the future. It's taken us a number of years to get to this stage so I'm delighted that work is finally underway," said Councillor Roger Phillips.

However with Government cut-backs it's becoming uncertain how quickly the 'hugh area of land' will be developed. It may be used as an extra car park for football fans and others for some years to come as the future of the Edgar Street Grid scheme is in some doubt.
