Herefordshire Council will spend up to £451,000 on reviewing the city bypass and southern link road schemes. Cabinet members have approved setting aside £360,000 of the council’s financial reserves to meet the review costs of the Hereford Transport and South Wye Transport packages. John Harrington, Cheif of Transport and Infrastructure, decided to pause and review both schemes after Herefordshire Independent, Green Party and It’s Our County councillors formed a coalition administration last year.
John Harrington confirmed the review programme of the Hereford Transport and South Wye transport packages earlier this month. Officers will now be authorised to complete the work within a budget of £451,000. The reviews have a deadline of July 31, 2020.
