Cycle track for gwaun-cae-gurwen

We the undersigned petition the council to To look into building a cycle track & public footpath for Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen down to Pontardawe

Firstly, the lack of frequent and reliable public transport has a tangible impact on mobility—particularly for young people, the elderly, and those without access to a car. A cycling track would serve as a practical and affordable means of travel to nearby towns, schools, and workplaces, helping to reduce social isolation and support local employment opportunities.

Secondly, encouraging cycling aligns with the Council’s broader goals of promoting sustainable transport and improving public health. A safe cycling route would reduce vehicle use, lower emissions, and encourage physical activity—contributing to cleaner air and a healthier community.

Additionally, such infrastructure could enhance the attractiveness of the village for tourism and recreation. With careful design, the track could integrate with existing green spaces or trails, drawing visitors and promoting local businesses such as cafes, shops, and accommodation providers.

This ePetition runs from 23/05/2025 to 04/07/2025.
