Active Travel Schemes

The below active travel schemes have been designed to help connect local residents with key trip attractors. The importance of providing high quality infrastructure in the correct location is at the forefront of our aspirations to encourage higher levels of active travel for day-to-day journeys along with all of the associated benefits.

We are constantly seeking ways in which we can improve our active travel network and your feedback, either directly to us or via the Active Travel consultation page will help us to develop and deliver new active travel routes. The Active Travel Network Map will help to shape the future of our walking and cycling infrastructure across the County.

The projects listed below for have been developed following direct feedback from the residents of Carmarthenshire along with input from key stakeholders. They help to maintain our status as the Cycling Hub and Wales and fulfil our duties as part of the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013. All schemes have been funded by the Welsh Government via the Active Travel fund.

Construction of a new ramped access and shared use bridge over the railway line to replace the existing stepped structure. This will link previously completed routes to Trostre/Halfway with access to Pentre Awel and the MCP.

Safe Routes in Drefach

Improved and safer access throughout the village specially to the school site itself and to the Gwendraeth Valley sports centre. Other improvements include widening footways where possible and enhancing crossing points.

Safe Routes in Trimsaran

Several enhancements to make it easier to walk/scoot/cycle to key destinations within Trimsaran. These include a signalised crossing over the B4308 leading to the school and a re-design of the roundabout with improved links to the leisure centre and rugby club.

Marine Street

A safe and direct link West from the Railway station is being developed that will lead directly to North Dock and the MCP via Marine Street.

Creation of a new direct cycle route that ties Llanelli town centre with Trostre & Pemberton retail parks and the proposed spinal route. This will include the link from the new A484 bridge to Aldi.

Halfway Lights

Ongoing monitoring leading to a redesign of the signals and junction at Halfway. One of the main objectives is to create a direct and safe crossing point over Glyncoed Terrace as part of the proposed spinal route.
