KINGSTON A vacant commercial property in the city’s west end could see three new buildings constructed on it.
The city’s planning committee is to consider the proposal to build on the 4,258-square-metre property at 870 Centennial Dr., just north of the intersection with Taylor-Kidd Boulevard.

Hereford fan Brian Symonds. Picture: Steve Niblett AFTER 74 years watching Hereford from the terraces Brian Symonds hopes to watch his side win at Wembley for the first time on Saturday. The 89-year-old started watching Hereford United in 1947 when the likes of Charlie Thompson, Reggie Bowen and Jimmy Duggan were the household names in the city. Mr Symonds has fond memories of standing on the Len Weston end and that the players used to get changed at the swimming baths on Edgar Street before crossing the road to the ground. He will join the lucky 3,000 Hereford fans who have bought a ticket in the sold-out Hereford end for the big final.
As well as that change, the council said that due to very low attendance figures, the Leominster testing centre in Broad Street car park will be replaced with a mobile testing unit rotated between Leominster and and Wilton Road car park in Ross-on-Wye.
Leominster s coronavirus testing site is closing. Picture: Rob Davies Sarah Smith, Herefordshire public health consultant, said: “As we respond to changing needs we must focus our resources where they are needed most in the county. I would like to encourage anyone with Covid symptoms to book a test and self-isolate, to help stop the spread of the virus.”
I realise it is a little late but Revamping the City (March 4) brought to mind Beziers in France and the trompe-l’oeils of shop fronts and street scenes which are famous in the town. They have been painted on blank walls and it is difficult to tell if they are real until you get up close to them. I suggest the awful timber board wall to the car park on Edgar Street could be covered in sheets of board painted white and with a set of street scenes painted on them. Other walls such as the side of the Butter Market would also be useful.
