Herefordshire Council ignores the statistics provided by its own consultants as to the need for a bypass.
45% of peak hour traffic is heading for North Hereford with no need to cross the River Wye or traverse Hereford.

I completly agree with you that we don't need a by-pass.Our traffic congestion is with us because of poor road layout,too many traffic lights that are on a generic timed loop 
and not enough roundabouts.
We do however need thousands of homes to be built over the next 15-20 years that cannot be built without this road.

Two years ago the Church Commission put in a PA for 1300 houses on land between Three Elms Road and Kings Acre Road , that's a start Ragwert , not sure if a Byepass will help many of the occupants of these homes , I know nothing about Traffuc Management but I would have thought that most of the cars on this big estate will head toward the City .

They won't build them without the by-pass Ubique so I guess these homes won't be finished until at least 2030.
I don't know how old that stats image above is but there is a big traffic survey taking place right now with traffic sensors placed all over the City with
each survey site costing £850 so a pretty expensive excercise.

The scheme was designed and presented such that a proportion of them (500?, I can't remember) could be built without a bypass, which will run alongside the site. I went to the exhibition and studied the proposals in some detail at the time. Access via simple t junction off Three Elms Road just past Annetts Furniture. No doubt BBLP will insist on traffic lights to boost their income.

Thanks Ragwert for update ......2030, well that not going to interest me . I thought that all the Welsh Water workings, putting in new pipes  in Three Elms Road was in preparation for the commencement of building  ( after PA approved ) 

I think so too.

They have an interest in building some 300+ homes just past the Roman Road junction too.
