We want to provide Blaenau Gwent with a network that allows for walking, wheeling and cycling to become the most natural and normal way of getting about for local journeys. And, by doing so, to promote the health and well-being of everyone and to make our towns and villages more liveable places.
Under the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013, all local authorities in Wales must regularly review and improve their walking, wheeling and cycling routes. Our current map was approved by the Welsh Government in August 2022, and now it’s time to reflect the changes and improvements made over the past three years.
We are reviewing and refining the ATNM to include:
Existing Routes: These are routes that meet Welsh Government standards for walking, wheeling and cycling (or all three).
Future Routes: These are proposed routes that either don’t yet exist or need improvements to meet the required standards.
The comments and suggestions have been reviewed and maps have prepared for 12 week statutory consultation. This will run from 03/08/2026 to 25/10/2026. The revised map will be submitted to Welsh Government in December 2026.
