Let's Talk about walking, wheeling and cycling in Monmouthshire!

We’re updating Monmouthshire’s Active Travel Network Map (ATNM) – and we want to hear from you! Whether you walk, wheel, or cycle, your feedback will help improve everyday routes across our communities.

What is the Active Travel Network Map?

The Active Travel Network Map (ATNM) shows existing routes and highlights future routes planned for upgrades or development over the next 15 years. It’s part of a Wales-wide effort to make local journeys healthier and more sustainable, supported by the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013.

Why is it being updated?

Monmouthshire’s current map was approved in 2022 – now it’s time to update it to reflect recent progress and plan for the future, with your input. All Welsh councils are required to regularly review and improve their active travel network of routes. Improvements may include creating new routes or upgrading existing ones. For example, resurfacing paths, widening footways, or adding features like dropped kerbs and tactile paving to improve accessibility.

The aim of mapping routes, existing and future, is to understand local demand, travel patterns and ‘trip attractors’ (schools, employment areas, etc.) and work to identify, improve or implement a physical network of routes that pass audit for active travel. The network for walking should be denser than that for cycling. Routes that do not yet pass audit can be built or improved through scheme-specific funding, as part of other highway schemes or as part of housing, or other, development. Routes on the ATNM are prioritised according to strategic impact, funding priorities, deliverability and priority over other routes and programmes.

We’d love to hear your views

Each year, Monmouthshire County Council can apply for funding to improve routes shown on the ATNM. The map allows Monmouthshire County Council to prioritise these routes for development and improvement – so your views help make sure the routes that matter most to you are included.

About the interactive map:

View Monmouthshire's interactive Active Travel Network Map by clicking the link below. Click on any route for information on that route, such as whether it's for walking, cycling or both, and any recognised issues. If you want to make a comment, drop a pin at the location you want to comment on. Please use the comments box to add details about the exact location and your comments. You can comment on a route or any part of the map. Reasons why you may want to comment:

  • If you think a route should be removed.
  • If you think there should be a route somewhere there currently is no route.
  • If you think the route could be improved.
  • If you think the route needs redirecting or amending.

If you have any questions, please email activetravel@monmouthshire.gov.uk

This consultation runs from Monday 11th May until midnight on Sunday 2nd August, 2026.
