IN reply to Mr Hattersley’s letter (Hereford Times, April 9) and the fun and games we workers have with traffic hold-ups on all major routes in and out of Hereford: How are free buses going to move on roads which are continually blocked up?
Free bikes? The way most adults treat roads on a bike, I can’t imagine more.
Where are you going to put extra cycle tracks? They are not used anyway.
Hereford is a medieval town with nowhere to put infrastructure – blame the Romans.
Cardiff has a good ringroad, not like ours, which goes right through the middle, so I can’t understand why a road away from the town would cause more pollution.
As you approach from the north you have to go right through the middle, all the way up Ross road to get to Rotherwas access with an HGV. Do we go the whole hog and ban lorries from delivering and all the other things they do in Hereford?
My experience of most bypasses is they save time in the long run, not increase it. A bypass would increase traffic on the bypass, not through the centre of Hereford, so less traffic, mostly local, will come into town.
