Voice your views in consultation process of Isle of Anglesey’s Active Travel Network Map

As part of the three yearly potential development assessments of Isle of Anglesey’s Active Travel Network Map, both Transport for Wales and the Isle of Anglesey County Council are inviting the resident to submit feedback on the current Network in the second stage of the consultation process.

Seeking to promote the use of active travel, such as walking and cycling, the routes and paths available plays a big part in attracting more users.

The Active Travel Network Map for the Isle of Anglesey shows the current network, with improvements and developments appraised on a three-yearly basis.

The consultation process is organised to determine which routes should be focused on.

In this phase of the consultation process, residents can add comments via CommonPlace, where they will be collected and reviewed. The link to Anglesey’s CommonPlace page can be found here.

Five virtual sessions are also taking to give attendee’s the opportunity to discuss and feedback on their thoughts on the proposed new routes.
