Funding has been secured to improve active travel routes in two Powys towns.
Powys County Council has secured further Welsh Government funding to extend and improve the active travel routes within the county.
Through engagement exercises and consultations, active travel routes which could either be improved or introduced have been identified and added to the councils Active Travel Network Maps . This forms the second phase of a multiphase Active Travel project and will focus on improving the surface of the path between the retail park and the bus interchange. The scheme will also look to improve access to the canal towpath by means of installing a Disability Discrimination Act compliant ramp , creating a direct link to the active travel path recently established on Severn Road.
“We are delighted to have secured this latest instalment of Welsh Government funding, which allows us to keep the momentum going and begin work on the next set of active travel projects," said Matt Perry, Powys County Council’s chief officer for place.
