Herefordshire Council said it will see improvements to facilities for walking, wheeling, and cycling, including bringing cycle infrastructure up to the latest national guidance and improving facilities for pedestrians.

Councillor Philip Price, Cabinet member for transport and infrastructure, said: “The schemes will support a reduction in carbon and other transport-related emissions in the county and provide a good quality, convenient and safe transport network that prioritises walking and cycling. I would encourage everybody to get involved and have their say.”
