  5. Since Jan 1st 2020 how many km of bicycle lanes have Herefordshire Council completed/removed

    Since Jan 1st 2020 how many kilometers of bicycle lanes has the council completed?

    How many kilometers have been removed?

    And I would like the answers split into segregated and cycle lane lengths.

    For clarification:

    By "segregated" I mean cycle paths that have physical barriers between them and other road users. So lanes edged with bollards or raised concrete blocks.

    "cycle lanes" is everything else including shared paths.

  7. Section 137 Notices issued to landowners

    Will you please confirm that the Council has not written to other landowners requiring hedges be cut under Section 137 of the Highways Act when they have failed to keep their hedges from causing inconvenience.

    Since I imagine that a county council will treat all matters in accordance with the Nolan Principles then, technically, it shouldn't matter where in the county you are applying this principle and, unless there has been a recent change of policy which you have failed to disclose, the timeframe should be equally irrelevant.

    However, if it makes the request easier then I am happy to restrict the timeframe to the last three years.
