A new Cafe?
I see that a new Cafe 'Mudlarks' has opened in Railway street. Looks like it should do really well as I can't think of anywhere else in Hertford that sells tea, coffee and cake... apart from Bebo, Starbucks, Seredipidty, Nerro, Greggs, Costa, that uber-trendy pub whose name I can't recall, Il Vino D...

Re: Should Parking Be Subsidised
No. simple as that...

car park at the bottom of Old London Road
there are two, quite large, concrete boulders blocking the entrance to the car park to all but the smallest cars. the exit is not blocked but has a height restriction stopping larger vehicles entering. is there a reason that anyone knows of? could it be that the 'Wandering Folk' are heading to town..?
