A number of roads in Hereford will be closed today and several changes have been made to bus services travelling through Hereford city centre, with The Queen’s Baton Relay travelling through the city this afternoon.

To help ensure safety of people involved with the celebrations and lining the route, West Street, Broad Street, King Street, Bridge Street, St Martins Street, Quay Street and part of Castle Street will be closed to traffic for a maximum of two hours between 2pm and 4pm disruption will kept to a minimum with roads being re-opened as soon as possible.

Parking restrictions will be in place along Bridge Street, King Street, Broad Street and Castle Street (up to Ferriers Street) from 12.30pm until 4pm.

Due to parking restrictions and road closures both St Martins Street Car Park and Wye Street Car Park will be impacted therefore spectators are advised to use other city centre car parks.

Herefordshire Council has warned bus users that West Street in Hereford will be closed between 2pm and 4pm buses will NOT be able to serve Broad Street between these times.
