People are ignoring a one-way pedestrian system introduced to help maintain social distancing, a council says.
Ross-on-Wye Town Council announced the measures last week and suggested pedestrians kept to the left when walking on certain streets.
But a number of people took to the local authority's Facebook page , externalto criticise the idea, with comments labelling it "impractical" and "absolute rubbish".
Town mayor Daniel Lister said: "It’s not being enforced. It’s a recommendation. No one will be forced to do this. Some won’t like it and some will find comfort from it. Let’s just hope it will help some people.”
