Village Traffic Calming Update
Traffic Calming - At the end of 2024, we received the final designs for a traffic calming scheme for the village. In late 2023 we were consulted by a Project Manager for Highways and Transport Delivery at Herefordshire Council over proposals to install traffic calming at the schools. This would be paid for by the S106 Highway allocation of funds levied from the development at Garnstone Drive. The Parish Council highlighted the issues with traffic speeds experienced elsewhere in the village and asked that this also be considered, although in response to enquiries about a reduction to 20 mph limit, we were told that despite trial schemes elsewhere in the county, this is no longer Herefordshire Council policy.
The design process seems to have taken longer than anticipated. During the past year you may have seen consultation notices posted on our noticeboards regarding the extension of the 30mph limit on Gadbridge Road, on the B4230 near the Ley turn and by the schools near Pepperplock, which are all part of the scheme. The final design comprises road marking and signage throughout the village, enforcing the existing 30 mph limit. Included in the design are alternating locations for a Speed Indicator Device. Installation of the scheme is expected to take place in early summer this year.
Details of where the calming measures will be sited can be found using the buttons below or will be on display in the Village Library.

HEREFORD FLOOD LINE
If there is any risk of danger to your own or anyone else's life from floodwater ring 999 immediately.
If there is flooding to your property from rivers, streams, drains, ditches, brooks or groundwater, call 01432 261800 or use the online link below. Any information you provide may be shared with other organisations to help prevent and improve responses to flooding in the county.
Speeding in the Village
Speed limits are set for a reason and exceeding them is illegal. The minimum penalty for speeding is £100 fine and three points added to your licence. Receiving 12 or more points within three years may disqualify you from driving.
If you’re a newly qualified driver and receive six points during the first two years after passing your test, your licence will automatically be cancelled (revoked). To get it back you’ll need to apply and pay for a new provisional licence and pass both theory and practical tests again.
Concerned about Speeding? Report it.
As part of Operation Snap, members of the public can report and submit digital footage to West Mercia Police showing potential traffic offences via a secure online form.
This can range from driving dangerously or carelessly to overtaking on solid white lines, using a mobile phone while driving, ignoring traffic lights or dangerous driving around other road users, such as horse riders and cyclists.
Report that pot-hole!
Herefordshire Council's Smartphone App makes it easy to report issues about potholes, flytipping, dog mess and any public rights of way issues affecting the village from your mobile phone.
Just take a picture, upload it to the App (which will automatically pinpoint your location if you are at the problem area) and it will be sent directly to the highways management team to action.
The mobile app is free to download from the Herefordshire Council website now.

About us
Weobley Parish Council is made up of ten local residents who are elected every four years and volunteer their time, their expertise and their services.
As the first tier of local government, we hope to encourage input from local residents which in turn will help us to develop and maintain local facilities and services.
How we work
The work undertaken by the Parish Council is financed through a precept, which is an amount of money collected as part of your Council Tax.
This money is used to help improve local facilities and services in and around the village and for larger projects, the council tries to secure funding through any grants and awards that made be available.
About our Village
Weobley, pronounced 'Webley', is one of the largest villages and civil parishes in Herefordshire, situated just eight miles away from Leominster and 12 miles north-west of Hereford. Our name Weobley comes from 'Wibba's Ley', with a 'ley' being a term for a woodland glade whilst 'Wibba' is the name of a local Saxon landowner, so in effect Weobley means 'Wibba's woodland clearing' and even features in the Domesday Book.
Our quiet and picturesque village sits in the very heart of the Herefordshire lowlands, an area characterised by wide river valleys, arable farming, low hedges, steep wooded hills, beautiful orchards and extensive hop yards. Over the years the village has changed from being a medieval wool trading centre, through glove making and ale brewing to the friendly village that it is today. We even saw a visit from King Charles I, who stayed in the village following the battle of Naseby in 1645.
Herefordshire's Talk Community
Talk Community aims to make Herefordshire a better place to work and live by offering a wide range of activities, events, training courses, business support and much, much more through a network of Community Hubs.
These Community Hubs help to bring residents together, alongside offering up to date health and wellbeing information and to connect people to services, groups and activities, both nearby and elsewhere across Herefordshire and are run by staff and / or volunteers from the local community with support from Herefordshire Council.
