Changes are being proposed for the layout and use of the streets and public spaces in the historic core of Hereford, around the Cathedral and the River Wye area – Broad St, King St and Bridge St, and surrounding areas.

The improvements aim to create an attractive, vibrant city centre to help support existing businesses and encourage people to stay longer when they visit, helping to boost the local economy.

The proposals give more space for pedestrians and cyclists, with a new layout and design that gives motor vehicles reduced priority. 

There are areas for small events, activities and street dining with lots of attractive seating and planting. 

The unique character and history of the area is a key consideration in the designs, along with making the area safe and enjoyable for all users.

To find out more about the proposals and to give your views, please visit the consultation site.

You can also visit Hereford Library to view a map of the proposals and complete a questionnaire.

The consultation closes on 8 November 2022.

Feedback received during the consultation will be incorporated into the concept design proposals which will be finalised towards the end of 2022.
