Newport City Council is updating its Active Travel Network Map (ATNM), and we want to hear from you!

Active travel is a term used to describe walking and cycling for purposeful journeys to a destination, or in combination with public transport. 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 2022, and now it’s time to reflect the changes and improvements made over the past three years.

What’s being updated?

The updated map will 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.

We need your feedback

This is the first stage of public engagement, and your input is essential. Whether you walk, wheel, cycle, or simply care about better travel options in Newport, we want your ideas on how to improve the network.
