Herefordshire Council has been successful in securing £19,990,449 funding from the Department for Levelling Up. LUF funding has been matched against £4,478,000 Council, £700,000 Marches LEP and £120,000 Active Travel Funds (ATF), to deliver the ‘Hereford Transport Package’, with a total value of £25,288,449. The LUF funding has been adopted into the Council’s capital programme, as per above decision link. The package includes funding for a number of Active Travel Measure (ATM) improvements across Hereford City. AECOM will pick up the remaining design, consultation, project management and other relevant work to ensure that each scheme is designed and delivered within the required DfT timescales.
The Levelling Up Funds (LUF) package includes budget lines for each of the proposed ATM improvements, where budget will be drawn from to implement the decision.
Note that ATF funds (as per above decision link) will also be drawn down for work in relation to Aylestone Hill.
