Herefordshire Council has agreed to spend up to £129,977 on a Weather Forecasting Service, Council documents have confirmed. 

Herefordshire Council documents confirm the following decision has been agreed: 'Weather Forecasting Service Contract to MetDesk Ltd for a contract value of £33,697.87 per annum, £101,093.61 for a 3 year period and £129,977.49 should the further 6 months extension be utilised'

Most people now have VERY accurate apps on their smart phones, this expenditure is an utter waste of Herefordshire resident's money and this money could be spent so much more wisely elsewhere. There are also 11 weather stations in Herefordshire. It sounds like all Metdesk will be doing is collating that information. 

This decision affects everyone who lives in Herefordshire and cannot be allowed to go ahead. Make your voice heard and sign this petition to try and make them see sense and please share it to Herefordshire contacts too.
