🚴♂️ Big News for Pontarddulais! 🚴♀️ Exciting plans for a new shared-use cycle path have officially been approved. This new route promises to connect Pentre Road to Bolgoed Road, offering a much-needed link to Pontlliw. While this is a win for cyclists, it’s stirring up mixed reactions among locals.
🐶 One dog owner is worried about their territorial pup who might be barking at every passing cyclist! Plus, there’s a van parked on the lane since 1990, adding to the mix of concerns. But not to worry, planning officers have assessed the situation and given the green light with several conditions, like planting more trees than will be removed.
🌳 Supporters are cheering for this project, highlighting benefits like better school access and a chance for greener travel, reducing car journeys while improving community health. There’s also hope to spruce up the overgrown areas, making our town look even better.
🏞️ Pontarddulais already enjoys the perks of a shared-use path to Gowerton and another in Coed Bach Park. Local councillor Kevin Griffiths notes that while there are always differing opinions, these paths are beloved by both cyclists and walkers.
So, what do you think? Will you be biking down this new path or does your heart side with the barking dog? Share your thoughts below! 🗨️
