The City Transport Package will provide safer alternative modes of travel to the car, which will reduce the reliance on cars and the number of vehicles undertaking short journeys within the city limits. The alternative walking, cycling and public transport links will help provide safe reliable alternatives. This will also enhance the current environment for the residents, businesses and visitors to Hereford and help:
o Protect and enhance our environment and keep Herefordshire a great place to live.
o Strengthen communities to ensure everyone lives well and safely together.
o Support an economy which builds on the county’s strengths and resources

This project is one of several Active Travel Measure (ATM) schemes accessing Levelling Up Funding (LUF) across Hereford City.

Project Centre was awarded the contract for undertaking the design of Quiet Route improvements to the Hereford Enterprise Zone (HEZ) following an open tender exercise in compliance with the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules (CPR’s).

A value engineering exercise was conducted by the project team, which has resulted in design changes being required in order to reduce overall project costs and create a more connected network of routes. The changes require further meetings, investigations and modifications to existing designs that require familiarisation and experience of the original brief.
