IN response to the articles in last week's Hereford Times about the future for transport in the county: Herefordshire Council doesn't know what it is talking about.

Where do they get their figures from, saying only seven-percent of traffic wants to pass through?

Every time there is an accident on the A49 city limits, Hereford comes to a standstill.

Even small villages on the A49 have bypasses and Hereford - the main county town - can't have one. There is something wrong there.

Some of these know-alls and do-gooders want to sit in these jams and see what it is like to travel from King's Acre Road to Rotherwas morning and night.

In the morning it takes me 10 to 15 minutes but between 5pm and 5.30pm it takes me nearly an hour to get home.

So come on Herefordshire Council, take a census and stop pulling the wool, as they say, over our eyes.
