Active Travel Network Map Consultation 2025/26

The Active Travel Network Map (ATNM) Consultation will run through 2025 and 2026

We want to provide the Vale of Glamorgan 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.

A non-statutory consultation ran from 5 November 2025 until 5 January 2026.  The consultation report is available to read here: Active Travel Network Map consultation report - Phase 1

The comments and suggestions will be reviewed and maps prepared for statutory consultation in the summer of 2026 prior to resubmission to Welsh Government in December 2026.

Details of the statutory consultation will be posted on this page when they are confirmed.
