Transport

Herefordshire is a diverse county, incorporating both rural and urban communities. The A49 is a strategic trunk road, and the county also has a section of the M50 motorway within its boundary.

The county is served by approximately 2,000 miles of road, 350 miles of pavement, four national railway stations, and a number of bus services operating within and across county boundaries.

We are looking to make travel accessible for all, and to support the use of walking, cycling, and public transportation.

A key environmental ambition of Herefordshire Council’s adopted County Plan (2020-2024) is to protect and enhance the county’s environment and keep it a great place to live. Improving access to sustainable modes of transport will be key to achieving this.

The County Plan also aims to support an economy that builds on the county’s strengths and resources. Appropriate maintenance of the county’s road and footpath networks will contribute to this.

The reviewed policies will look to update the approach according to national guidance and also consider changes required to address the climate emergency.
