Why are none of us who were trying to save the trees last year NOT SURPRISED to find these results in FOI requests? .... There are (as I said recently) some people in this county who need locking up! This from Bulls News: An email released to the public under a Freedom of Information request shows that then Hereford Futures boss JONATHAN BRETHERTON told senior Council officials that the Edgar Street site could be a possible supermarket. BRETHERTON, according to other emails also published under the FOI request, was deeply involved in discussions on the Edgar Street leases with Hereford Futures having agreed in 2010 to help seek development partners according to their website. However BRETHERTON also suggests the radical solution of demolishing Edgar Street entirely and seeking competitive bids from Tesco and Morrison for the site. BRETHERTON made the suggestion to Strategic Asset Manager Tony Featherstone and Geoff Hughes, the Director of Places and Communities, after a meeting with Old Market developers Stanhope - who are reported to have told him the Blackfriars End site was too small and that the pitch would need to be moved to accommodate any development for them. The 20m depth suggested would have left no room at all on the Blackfriars End for a new stand, with building work almost touching the existing pitch. The Hereford Times has previously reported that BRETHERTON was one of three signatories on the Heads of Terms of the Edgar Street leases, but the Council have previously refused to release emails detailing Hereford Futures as they did not come under Freedom of Information rules. Hereford Futures e-mails will now be even more concerning as it appears that the company and its chief has had quite a significant involvement in past discussions about the development of Edgar Street. ~ BullsNews website. ### HEREFORD TIMES also printed press releases from the said BRETHERTON in the spring that were a complete nonsense regarding the Newmarket Street, that had to be refuted by Clr Philips in a council meeting. Seems BRETHERTON doesnt understand the word NO! Wonder if those HF docs were really shredded?
