XR Action in Hereford Again

Hereford Council is now run by an Alliance of parties which all broadly favour green and environmental changes to the County. On Friday 14th February, they are meeting to launch their first budget. They have some good ideas about electric buses, solar panels, cycling and council housing, and propose to put money into these areas. However, there are enough Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Independent councillors who oppose this (and still support the bypass plans) that the proposals may get watered down.
So XR Marches are going to turn up to support the Alliance budget. They intend to be there at the Shire Hall at 9am, when the councillors are going in to the meeting. The meeting itself is open to the public from 10am. The Red Rebel Brigade, those ladies in bright red dresses, will be there, and so will local students, as it's also the day of the school Climate Strike. The students will be gathering outside HSFC at 8.50am, to march through Hereford City centre to end up at the Shire Hall at 9.30am.
