But why is it referred to as an inner ring road when there is no other ring road?

I am amazed and horrified.

However, sadly, I’m not surprised. I think Martin Rover-Parkes from the Herefordshire Advanced Motoring Group hit the nail on the head when he said that many young drivers feel they can’t afford the insurance on top of all the other costs of getting on the road.

For a small business with fixed overheads and falling sales then probably not, but for an organisation like Herefordshire Council it may actually be possible.
