Purpose:
A decision was taken 9 August 2019 by Cabinet

which recommendations were made.
The Cabinet Member took a further decision 22 October 2019 which
took into consideration the recommendations made by General
Scrutiny Committee and confirmed a review of the South Wye
Transport Package and the bypass project to determine next
steps.
On 24 January 2020 the Cabinet Member took a decision to approve
the scope, outline programme and timescale for undertaking the
review of the Hereford and South Wye Transport Packages, within a
budget of £360,000.
The report outlined that the review is essential to ensure that the
council’s decision making is fully informed by the latest
information and best practice.
The Acting Assistant Director for Highways and Transport approved
on 10 March 2020 to commission professional services up to a value
of £145k through the Public Realm contract, for works to the
end March 2020 to undertake a transport strategy assessment as
outlined in the 24 January 2020 Cabinet Member decision
report.
This decision will enable the commissioning of the remainder of
works as outlined from April 2020 to the end of July 2020. This
aligns with the timeline of work set out in the 24 January 2020
Cabinet Member decision report.
