Anglesey residents are being asked to help improve opportunities to walk and cycle on everyday journeys on the Island. Anglesey Council, and other local authorities in Wales, must map, plan for, improve and promote opportunities for active travel – as part of the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013. Active Travel means walking and cycling for everyday journeys - like getting to school, work, shops, health and leisure services - not for recreation. Anglesey’s seven Active Travel settlements were approved by Welsh Government in 2018, following an initial consultation in 2016. Local authorities must continue ensure that they meet the duties specified within their designated localities.
There are plans to improve facilities for cycling and walking CEREDIGION County Council has engaged Sustrans Cymru to support the review of its Active Travel Network. The outcome of the review will provide Ceredigion County Council with a forward plan of routes that it will use to inform where future improvements to walking and cycling can be made within the County. It will help to make journeys on foot or by bike more accessible and safer for everyone, particularly those who don’t currently walk or cycle often and people who may use mobility aids. As part of this second phase of public engagement, the County Council is seeking feedback on the proposed draft Active Travel Network Maps for walking and cycling in Aberystwyth, Cardigan and Lampeter.
