Welcome from the Leader of the Council

We want to deliver the best for Herefordshire in everything we do. We want children to have the best start in life. We are working to increase prosperity, protect our beautiful environment and provide those services that people need.

We are on an ambitious journey to deliver key capital programmes and transform council services to ensure the best value for residents and communities in Herefordshire.

Herefordshire is a wonderful county. It is blessed with beautiful rural areas and rivers, unique market towns and villages, and a historic cathedral city. It is a great place to live. Our communities are friendly and full of innovation.

Herefordshire is a hub for farming, business activity and tourism, and we are a county with true entrepreneurial spirit. We have a strong educational offer, and this is a great place to raise a family.

Our Council Plan 2024 – 2028 sets out our vision and priorities for Herefordshire. As Chief Executive, you will have a passion for delivery of services, combined with drive and determination to meet the council’s aspirations of the future.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Cllr Jonathan Lester

Leader of Herefordshire Council
