Stunning pictures
feature in calendar
WALKING through the
Herefordshire countryside
can allow photographers to
capture some of the most
breathtaking scenery.
And those wandering
close to the county‘ 5 Welsh
border have once put their
images into print for the
Kington Walks Calendar
for 2016.
The calendar features
winning photographs tak-
en by walkers in the 2014
walking festival as well as
images by local photogra-
phers.
The new calendar follows
the success of the first
Kington Walks calendar in .
2013 which sold out.
A spokesman for King-
ton Walking Festival said:
‘Each image is a View seen
by those on the festival's
walks in and around the
area of Kin gton
The fifth walking festival
will take place from Sep-
tember 1:3 to 18.
There are only limited
copies of the calendar
available and they cost £7.
They are available on»
line via Kington Walking
Festival‘s website kington-
walksorg or at Grandad‘s
Shed and Border Bean.

Success
proves
schemes’
downfall
PROGRAMMES which al:
low parish councils to car-
ry out maintenance work
on roads and footpaths
have been suspended — be-
cause they are proving too
popular and too expensive
to fund.
A decision made by
Herefordshire Council’s
cabinet member for roads
and transport means the
county’s Lengthsman and
P3 (public rights of way)
schemes will soon be tem-
porarily closed to new en-
trants.
Current schemes have
proved “very successful”,
with a high take-up, but
such a high level of inter-
est has led to an increase
in demand to provide
grants and match fund-
ing, a council report out
this week states.
“Given pressures on the
council’s overall budget,
additional funding is not
available to meet this
increased demand and
meeting this demand
from within other exist-
ing public realm budgets
would divert funds from
higher priority statutory
and highway safety activi-
ties, ” it said
“The role played by par-
ish councils in relation
to maintaining the public
realm and public rights of
way network is valuable
and it is important not to
undermine the commit-

ment of parishes to this
work.”
Grant levels for individu-
al parishes’for 2016/17 will
stay at the same level as in
2015/16.
While Herefordshire
Council said it is disap-
pointed to have to tempo-
rarily close the schemes to
new applicants, the local
authority considers it the
most “appropriate” way
of maintaining enthusi-
asm for the delivery of the
services by parishes while
avoiding an unauthorised
budget overspend.
A separate report will
consider the way forward
for 2017/18 and onwards,
the council added.
It will enable engagement
with parish councils over
the next few months to en-
sure any changes can be
considered when parishes
set their precept for the
2017/ 18 financial year.
The decision means that
103 parishes will be in-
cluded in the lengthsman
scheme and 30 will not.
A total of 86 parishes
will be included in the P3
scheme while 47 will not.
