I WONDER how many remember the resolution by Hererfordshire Council in September 2011 not to consult on the route of the bypass and that it would push on with the western route in the face of all opposition (Hereford Times, September 15, 2011)?

You may also recall my open letter to council leader Councillor Jarvis dated October 10, 2011.

The western route makes no economic sense and will be an expensive adventure, regretted for decades afterwards by all of us.

Our MP’s intervention is very timely and hopefully could save us from this arrogant folly of our council.
