THE consultation on the possible routes for the western Hereford bypass finishes today. 

Herefordshire Council is urging residents to take part in the consultation on the Hereford Transport Package (HTP), including the bypass.

The HTP consultation has been running since February 6 and includes seven possible routes for the bypass and walking, cycling and public space improvements.

Councillor Philip Price, cabinet member for infrastructure, said: “I have been encouraged by the number of people attending the exhibitions and taking part in the online questionnaire; we now have over 2,500 responses and this number is growing by the day.

"I urge anyone who hasn’t taken part, or who has had a paper survey but hasn’t filled it in yet, to take a few minutes out of their day to let us know what they think.

"The Hereford Transport Package affects everyone living, working and visiting Hereford City and I would like to see as many people’s opinions considered when we select a preferred route for the bypass, which includes where we make improvements for people who walk and cycle.”
