🚴♂️🚶♀️ After 20 years of waiting, the Swansea community is rallying to bring an overdue cycle path to life! Approved back in 2006, this ‘missing link’ between Gowerton and Penclawdd is still a pipe dream despite having planning permission. But now, a campaign is in full swing, with over 1,500 signatures gathered to push for a safer, shared-use path! 🛤️🏞️
Imagine a smooth ride along the scenic Loughor Estuary, safely away from the busy B4295. Campaigners believe this path could transform local travel, making it safer for everyone from schoolchildren to seasoned cyclists. Plus, it could ease congestion and support healthier lifestyles. 🌿🚲
Mark Divers from the North Gower Access Path group highlights the need for change, sharing personal stories of cyclists feeling vulnerable on the road. He believes a new path would be a game-changer for the community, encouraging more to embrace cycling. 🚴♀️
Joe Muldoon, another passionate campaigner, suggests that even small changes could greatly impact. Imagine if just 50 students chose cycling over car journeys! 🚗➡️🚲
Local councillors have mentioned ongoing work behind the scenes, but a clear timeline is still missing. With public consultations set for autumn, the community remains hopeful for progress. 🤞📅
Let’s support this movement! Could this long-awaited path finally become a reality? Share your thoughts and let’s keep the conversation going! 📣💬
