Stef Simmons, leader of the Green group which prepared its own formal response to the strategy, said the council’s moves on park-and-ride and park-and-choose have been “aspirational at best until now”. RELATED NEWS:A planned park-and-choose site at the forthcoming Three Elms development to the northwest of the city “should not go the same way as the Holmer park-and-choose site”, where a new housing development is now being built by the A49, she said. Including “solar shades” in car parks, which generate electricity while sheltering vehicles from the sun, is also “vital” given the county’s commitment to climate adaptation, Coun Simmons said. For Independents for Herefordshire, Coun David Hitchiner said park-and-ride “doesn’t work everywhere” and may not in Hereford. “You cannot have a park-and-ride at anything less than half-an-hour [frequency], or people get fed up waiting,” he added.
