Herefordshire roads to close for resurfacing works

Herefordshire Council said it has made a temporary road closure order to temporarily prohibit vehicles from using five roads in the county.

The roads are all due to undergo resurfacing works, the county said, with closures necessary due to the works and the likelihood of danger to the public while the works are taking place.
