Submission on Hereford slow street proposal

Submitted by liz thomas on Mon, 07/09/2009 - 10:39

We congratulate the Council on this exciting initiative to create a more pedestrian friendly inner city environment.  We especially support the idea of this being a “prototype streetscape design for ‘slow streets’ which can be used for busier traffic links in the central city”.  We look forward to seeing the spread of slow streets so enhancing the social and economic vibrancy of the inner city.

We support the concept of the Hereford Street Plan in general.  Please keep us informed about  future consultation about this project.
