Thank you - your comments are being considered as part of the Hereford Transport Strategy Review

Message from Cllr Harrington, cabinet member for infrastructure and transport

Thank you for taking the time to feed back your experiences of travel in Hereford and for sharing your ideas for how your journey could be improved. I am especially grateful because since we launched the survey at the beginning of February we have been through some of the most difficult few weeks many of us can remember.

More than 1000 people participated in the Travel in Hereford survey, and all of the comments received will be considered as part of the Hereford Transport Strategy Review.

We are an administration that listens to local people and represents the views of our communities in our plans and directions. All of the local knowledge, opinions and ideas that have been shared will feed into the review of the Hereford transport strategy to ensure that there is the infrastructure needed for travel in the City now and into the future.

The review includes an assessment of the proposed Hereford Bypass and Southern Link Road, alongside alternative options that could deliver improvements more quickly and at lower cost. This will include the possibility of a new river crossing, removal of traffic lights on key routes, an electric bus fleet for the urban bus network and improvements that provide safer routes for pupils to walk and cycle to school. The review is expected to be completed by the end of July 2020.

Thank you again, and please keep well.

Cllr John Harrington
