RESIDENTS in the Amman and Towy Valley's are being asked to help in the drawing up of walking and cycling maps in their villages and towns.
The Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 aims to make walking and cycling the easiest option for short journeys for communities that have populations of more than 2,000.
The act makes it mandatory for councils to produce maps to highlight all available walking and cycling routes within the communities.
To gain a clear picture for the preparation of these maps Carmarthenshire county council transport division is consulting with residents to gain a clear picture of the use and state of these routes.
Areas concerned include Amman Valley West, Ammanford, Glanaman, Pontaman, Brynaman, Drefach, Llandybie, Llandovery and Hendy.
The consultation questionnaire with downloadable maps is online now until December 12 at ilocal.carmarthenshire.gov.uk/consultations/active-travel/
The information will help form part of the final route maps that will be submitted to Welsh Government and also shape consultation on the Integrated Transport Map for the aspirations over the next 15 years.
