Cabinet confirmed its preferred transport options for Hereford following the completion and findings of the Hereford Transport Strategy Review 2020 (HTSR).

Cabinet was able to make its determination based on the technical information included in the HTSR. This included high level costings of options alongside technical assessment of impacts (carbon, economic, environmental and societal).

The total capital cost estimate for cabinet’s preferred transport strategy is £131m and annual revenue operating costs are £5.5m.

Further technical work is now required to identify the revenue development costs of the 11 individual options selected by cabinet to ensure that cabinet understands the financial consequences of any decision it takes to progress any or all of these options.
