Purpose

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.
