The controversy followed statements by local campaign group Herefordshire Transport Alliance (HTA), which asserted that the Council’s hopes of securing funding through the Government’s five-year Road Investment Strategy (RIS) were undermined when RIS4 plans did not include the Hereford bypass. HTA pointed out that when the Department for Transport (DfT) announced RIS4 plans on March 26, the Hereford bypass was absent from the list of schemes set for immediate funding, although 13 other projects were identified for further exploration either in RIS4 or future pipelines.
