The people of Hereford are being invited to voice their opinions on the trial pedestrianisation of one of their city's streets.

It's an initiative set up by the Herefordshire Council and will mark the first public consultation to go live on the council's new improved website.

"Herefordshire Council is continuing to consult with the public over the trial pedestrianisation of Widemarsh Street and this new online consultation tool provides another means of engaging with the public," said councillor Brian Wilcox.

"It's simple to use and allows people to have their say instantly," he added.

The website marks the development of Herefordshire Council's e-democracy policy, by harnessing the Internet to get local people involved in the decision-making process.

The results of this consultation are also set to be published online to ensure greater transparency in local government.
