  4. Prescription Opioid Dependence in Herefordshire

    I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding access to treatment for prescription opioid dependence within your local authority area.

    Please could you provide answers to the following questions:

    1. Is there a commissioned pathway within your local authority area for individuals with severe prescription opioid dependence (for example, codeine, dihydrocodeine, tramadol, morphine or oxycodone dependence) to access assessment for opioid substitution treatment (OST) where clinically indicated?

    2. If such a pathway exists, which service or provider is responsible for delivering this treatment?

    3. Can methadone and/or buprenorphine be prescribed for individuals whose primary dependence is on prescribed opioids rather than illicit opioids?

    4. Are there any restrictions, exclusions or eligibility criteria that would prevent an individual with prescription opioid dependence from accessing OST?

    5. How many individuals whose primary substance was a prescribed opioid received opioid substitution treatment within your area during the most recent 12-month period for which data is available?

    6. If OST is not available for people with prescription opioid dependence, what treatment pathway is commissioned for these individuals?

  6. Hereford Strategic Transport Model

    Please provide a copy of the Hereford Strategic Transport Model (HSTM), as referenced in the document 'Hereford Western Bypass Phase One Full Business Case', published on your website today (4th August 2026) https://councillors.herefordshire.gov.uk/documents/s50134773/HerefordWesternBypassPhaseOneFullBusinessCase.pdf

    Please also provide all data, analysis and related communications pertaining to assessments of noise and traffic impacts for the C1098, 'Bage Pitch' road, between the B4352 at Madley and A438 at Bridge Sollers, as related to the following statement in the above referenced document:

    '1.12.4. Due to the introduction of the scheme minor increases in road traffic noise are

    expected along the B4349 between the scheme and Clehonger. These changes

    are just above the threshold to be included within the economic analysis of this

    impact. The minor noise increase continues from Clehonger along the B4352 into

    Madley. From Madley minor increases in road traffic noise are expected along Bage

    Pitch Road up to the A438. This is due to rerouting of traffic which would have

    otherwise used an existing route prior to scheme opening.'

    What mitigations are being put in place to reduce the impact to residents and road users of the C1098 Bage Pitch Road given that this is a largely single track, rural road that is already hugely over capacity (as it already was at the last published transport model in 2016)?

  9. Empty Property Register

    I am writing to submit a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for information held by your council.

    We are a construction and project management company working with homeowners, investors, and developers, and we are researching empty and long-term vacant properties within your local authority area.

    Specifically, I would like to request:

    - A list of street addresses of properties currently recorded on your council's empty homes/empty property register, or identified as long-term empty (e.g. via council tax records).

    To be clear, I am only requesting the street addresses of the properties. I am not requesting the names, contact details, or any other personal information relating to the owners, as I understand this is protected under data protection legislation.

    If it would assist in processing this request, I am happy to receive the information in any electronic format you hold it in (e.g. spreadsheet or CSV).

    If any part of this request is unclear, or if you believe an exemption applies to any part of it, I would be grateful if you could contact me to discuss so that I can refine the request accordingly.
