Five Conwy drop-ins to help shape walking and cycling routes

Conwy residents can discuss proposed walking, wheeling and cycling routes at five public drop-ins next week. The council has announced sessions in Llandudno, Old Colwyn, Conwy, Llanrwst and Kinmel Bay from Monday 19 to Wednesday 21 October. They form part of the consultation on its revised Active Travel Network Map, which closes on 9 November.

Choose a session

Llandudno Library hosts the first drop-in on Monday from noon to 5pm. Tuesday’s sessions are at Old Colwyn Methodist Church from 9am to noon and Neuadd Ni in Conwy from noon to 3pm. On Wednesday, Llanrwst Library at Glasdir has a 9am-to-noon session, followed by Kinmel Bay Library from 2pm to 5pm. The schedule gives each venue’s address and postcode.

What residents can comment on

The review covers existing routes and proposed future links for everyday journeys to places such as work, school, shops and other services. It is not a general consultation on recreational countryside routes or unrelated highway matters. Residents can identify routes they find difficult or unsafe, suggest missing links, say which routes should be removed and explain which improvements they would prioritise. The online form asks for precise locations using streets, landmarks or the places a route connects; a route reference number is not required. The consultation began on 17 August. The council says the revised map will be submitted to the Welsh Government in December 2026. Inclusion as a proposed route is not confirmation that construction or funding has been approved.
