Have Your Say On Active Travel

Conwy Council is reminding people to have their say on Active Travel in large towns in the County. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

‘Active Travel’ means walking or cycling as an alternative to motorised transport (cars, buses, etc) to make everyday journeys. The Welsh Government’s Active Travel Act aims to increase levels of this kind of travel in towns with populations over 2,000 people. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The Council is currently looking for suggestions on which routes should be developed for Active Travel. The closing date for submitting comments and ideas is 31 March 2017. It will then carry out consultation on the proposals before submitting the final routes to Welsh Government for approval in September 2017. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The towns in Conwy County where Active Travel is being considered are: ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
