Q&A Completing the survey

The Active Travel team will use your responses to make changes to the active travel map where necessary.

Once the consultation is complete and the ATNM is updated it is submitted to Welsh Government for approval. Once approved the prioritisation of the routes is carried out to help identify the routes with the potentially biggest impact. Monmouthshire County Council can use the ATNM to apply for national and regional funding to develop the identified routes. If a route is not on the ATNM, funding for the purposes of active travel improvements will not be forthcoming for it.

Yes. You can submit as many responses as you like.

There are a number of reasons why the map has changed since the previous consultation. It could have been because the route has been re-aligned, constructed or improved, removed because of a change in the local Deposit Plan, or because it has been investigated and found to be unworkable. A route may have changed from ‘Future Route’ to ‘Existing Route’ or vice-versa, following audit to check if it meets the standards laid out in the Active Travel Act Guidance. These standards have been updated since the development of the first Integrated Network Map.

Routes may have be added to the ATNM. Routes may have been re-aligned, moved and otherwise altered following new information.

Routes may have be removed from the ATNM if identified as not being needed, not possible or superseded.

Your previous comments were used to shape Monmouthshire’s ATNM. Please comment on the newly proposed update to the ATNM, which will replace the previous map.

All comments are welcomed as it helps the Active Travel team to update our understanding of what routes are required and where.

There are around 400 existing and future active travel routes identified across Monmouthshire, all with their own level of work and funding required. The routes with the potential to have the biggest impact have been prioritised and funded, which means many routes are still awaiting improvement.

If you commented on the previous ATNM, you helped to shape Monmouthshire’s ATNM. Since the previous consultation, this ATNM has been iteratively updated to reflect what’s changed in the meantime.

The proposed update to Monmouthshire's ATNM will replace our previous ATNM – Please comment on the proposed map to ensure we capture the current situation and prioritise improvements accordingly.
