Purpose

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.
