Council bosses have claimed congestion along a key route into Hereford will drop as much as 20% during peak periods - once a new bypass gets built.

Herefordshire Council has launched a new campaign, urging people to get behind the Hereford bypass, ahead of work starting later this year.

The council said traffic would reduce by up to a fifth on the A465, which was notorious for hold-ups - with fewer vehicles using other local streets.
