Agenda item

Council were presented with a report advising of the results of the recent public consultation exercise on the Draft Integrated Network Maps (INMs) and seek approval for the final INMs to be submitted to Welsh Government (WG).

In terms of deadlines we had received an extension from Welsh Government to carry out these works.

It was requested that the route identified as A18 Gypsy Lane to the proposed new bridge at Llanfoist be extended to the entrance with Grove Farm.

It was requested that a direct cycle/pedestrian route be considered from the end of the bridge at Llanfoist to the town centre.

There was concern that the active travel routes focused on towns rather than rural areas. 

The B4245 does not fall into the active travel map and would be looked into at the next Severnside Area Committee.  This meeting would also address the concerns surrounding speed limits and accidents which have seen two people sustain life changing injuries.

Council resolved to agree the recommendation:

That the council approves the INMs as attached at Appendices A and C and endorses their submission to WG.
