There is less than two weeks left for people to have their say on the proposed new active travel scheme on Aylestone Hill, Hereford.
The proposed scheme is funded primarily by Levelling Up Funding but also through Department for Transport’s Active Travel Grant funding, and will see improvements to active travel facilities, namely walking, wheeling (including mobility scooters) and cycling. The projects will not only bring cycle infrastructure up to the latest national guidance, but also improve facilities for pedestrians, most notably crossing arrangements.
The consultation will close on Friday 20 September.
There will also be an in-person event at Aylestone School Hall, 5-7pm on Wednesday 18 September. This will be an opportunity to discuss the plans and ask questions.
Cllr Philip Price, Cabinet Member for Transport and Infrastructure, said: “These projects will help to address the challenges that people face while walking and cycling in this part of the city and encourage active travel in Hereford as a suitable choice for shorter journeys. With less than two weeks to go, I would encourage everybody to get involved and have their say.
“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.”
