After a consultation during the summer Conwy residents suggested walking, cycling and wheeling routes across the county which they would like to see built, updated or re-developed.
Conwy County Borough Council have now update their Active Travel Network Map, showing current and future routes. Now they want residents to comment and select which routes they think should be prioritised.
The comments will be used to review the routes selected before it is sent to Welsh Government for approval. The Council will then use the map to guide the work they do over the next fifteen years to improve walking and cycling opportunities across Conwy County.
Active Travel means making everyday journeys by walking, cycling or wheeling (such as using wheelchairs and mobility scooters) instead of using transport such as cars or buses. An Active Travel route connects to places of education, work, retail or leisure facilities.
Councillor Greg Robbins, Cabinet Member for Environment and Transportation, said: “It is very important that the map includes all the possible future Active Travel routes - if a route is not included in the map, the Council cannot bid for funding to create it.
“We’re asking residents to check that routes in their local area are included, and to tell us which routes are most important to them.”
