Purpose

• The Holme Lacy Road and A465 Aylestone
Hill Active Travel Measure schemes are designed to improve the
existing cycle infrastructure in the south and north of the City
respectively to the latest national guidance published in July
2020. This will improve the facilities for pedestrians, in
particular crossing arrangements, address the challenges that
currently discourage people from walking and cycling in the
vicinity and encourage active travel in Hereford as the natural
choice for journeys less than 2 km.
• These projects are part of a wider programme of Active
Travel Measure (ATM) schemes accessing Active Travel Funding (ATF)
and Levelling Up Funding (LUF) across Hereford City.
• The schemes will also support a reduction in carbon and
other transport related emissions in the county and provide a good
quality, convenient and safe transport network linking to the City
Centre and Enterprise Zones that prioritises walking and
cycling.
• Price & Myers were awarded the contract for undertaking
the design of the Holme Lacy Road scheme following an open tender
exercise in compliance with the Council’s Contract Procedure
Rules (CPR’s). Initial design scoping for the A465 Aylestone
Hill scheme was added to the contract via a variation.
