Herefordshire’s transport projects to feature at LGA conference

A video showcasing the work of Herefordshire Council's transport planning is to be shown at the Local Government Association general assembly being held on December 12 in London.

The finished footage will also be aired on The Community Channel, a free-to-air digital channel wholly owned by the Media Trust and supported by major broadcasters. The channel is dedicated to raising awareness of issues which affect communities.

Herefordshire Council's highways and transportation department is working on the video which aims to showcase some of its major schemes and projects in the county.

These will include road safety schemes, Rotherwas access road, Colwall Bridge, community transport and road safety education.

Councillor Brian Wilcox, Herefordshire Council's cabinet member for highways and transportation, said: "It will be wonderful to showcase the work we do to fellow professionals at the conference and for the general public to get a chance to see the final film on television.

"We are a centre of excellence for transport planning and being invited to create a permanent record of our achievements will further help to put us on the national map," he added.
