I HAVE lived in Herefordshire for 30 years and have always enjoyed cycling along the network of beautiful lanes.
I was delighted to hear of the proposal to create a cycleway from Hereford to Hay.
Imagine the bliss of being able to cycle into Hereford without braving the traffic.
RELATED NEWS:
When we locked down last year there were many more people cycling; this has continued and I hope is here to stay.
Unfortunately I have met quite a few less confident cyclists who have been put off by the worry of being knocked off their bicycles.
A cycleway would be absolutely wonderful for our health, our environment and our economy.
I would strongly urge Herefordshire Council to continue to resist the plans (from HRE - Historical Railways Estate) that are afoot to dismantle the old railway bridges (including those at Ailey and Hurstley) which would in my view compromise this section of the cycleway.
