This consultation closed on 11 September 2024
Conwy County Borough Council’s Environment, Roads and Facilities Team intends to apply for planning permission for construction of an active travel shared use path between Llandudno Junction and Glan Conwy.
As part of this, we are running a pre-application consultation from 14 August to 11 September 2024 to understand your views on the development proposals.
What are the issues?
There is currently no active travel route between Glan Conwy and Llandudno Junction. The existing paths are unsuitable and difficult to access for all users.
What are the proposals?
The project is to provide an active travel route between Glan Conwy and the RSPB entrance at A55 Junction 18. This will connect with the new active travel scheme being carried out by Welsh Government at Junction 18 and also link to the bridge to the Cob for onward travel to Conwy.
This route includes:
- New bridge crossing over Conwy Valley Railway line from A470 lay-by
- Ramp access from bridge to path between railway and Afon Ganol
- New bridge crossing over Afon Ganol
- Shared use path for walking, cycling and wheeling around perimeter of RSPB reserve to visitors’ centre
- Shared use path to A55 Junction 18
- Improved path to bridge at Conwy Cob
The bridges and shared use path will be accessible to all, suitable and wide enough for pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users, prams, and mobility scooters.
Please view the plans for more details about the proposals.
