TEN years ago, the plans for an £80 million retail and leisure complex in Hereford city centre were approved by Herefordshire Council. After years in the planning, it was revealed that Hereford may have to wait less than three years to see the controversial Old Market development completed, after planning permission was granted in March 2011. The developer Stanhope said at the time that the Hereford Futures project should be open by autumn 2013, boasting a six-screen Odeon cinema, a Waitrose foodstore, restaurants and shops - creating more than 1,000 jobs. Construction work continuing on the Waitrose building at Hereford s Old Market Herefordshire Council leader Roger Phillips called it a “once-in-a-generation opportunity,” and coun Chris Chappell gave a passionate speech to the committee on why the ambitious project should go ahead.
