Essential Website Maintenance – Thursday 9th January 2020

We will be carrying out essential website maintenance in the afternoon which will affect some functionality. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience the work may cause and will do all we can to keep disruption to an absolute minimum.

New Active Travel Routes


Summary (optional)
New Active Travel routes we are working on or we’ve recently completed.
start content

These routes are designed to follow the Welsh Government’s Active Travel Design Guidance.

The Highways Act 1980 allows us to authorise cycling on designated footpaths. We will do this by putting up signs to tell users that the route can be used by both cyclists and pedestrians. For users with visual impairment, we will identify the route using corduroy tactile paving in the footpath.
