Welcome to the Hope Mansell Parish Council Website
The use of Homrough Lane (also known as Harechurch Lane or HM14) by 4x4 vehicles for recreational use has been the subject of much discussion over the last year.
Herefordshire County Council will begin another TRO (Traffic Regulation Order) consultation very soon.
The proposal is that no motor vehicles are allowed access to the lane from Hope Mansell Lane end (High Church Road) for a distance of 951 metres.
All the details are included in the pdf (click here to see it).
We would encourage as many local residents as possible to email with either their support of a full closure of the lane to motor vehicles, or their objection. Responses must be in by 27th February.
Any questions, please email Councillor timhardie@aol.com (Hope Mansell Parish Council).

Hope Mansell Parish consists of the villages of Hope Mansell, Bailey Lane End and Dancing Green (see map).
It is situated in south-east Herefordshire, near the border with Gloucestershire and close to the Forest of Dean.
We are a small and fairly spread out rural community, which includes a village hall, St.Michael's Church in Hope Mansell, and the Methodist Church of Bailey Lane End. We divide Parish Council meetings between the two communities, alternating between Hope Mansell Village Hall and the schoolroom at Bailey Lane End Church.
We live in a beautiful area and the Parish Council works to maintain that.
