THERE has been another near miss on a dangerous stretch of a Herefordshire road with local spotting skid marks on the road.

Noakes Farm Riding Centre, based off the A44 near Bromyard, previously said it was concerned over the speed of vehicles heading towards Leominster.

Bredenbury Group Parish Council minutes from August 31's meeting said Mr and Mrs D Barrett of Noakes Farm said those vehicles did not heed the corners or the access to their farm.

OTHER NEWS:

Statistics from crashmap.co.uk show there have been two serious crashes on the road between Green Lane and the turning for Munderfield Harold between 2012 and 2021.

That is on top of three "slight" crashes, with near misses not reported.

Between Bromyard and Bredenbury, a motorcyclist was killed in a crash with a bin lorry earlier this year, and Susan Penelope Legge was killed in a three-car crash.

There is no suggestion speed was a factor in any of these crashes.
