Cyclists, walkers and horse riders will share an off-road route across a Gower common after funding was secured for the scheme. The off-road path will link the recently-completed Mayals Road shared-use and cycle path to Bishoptson, via Clyne Common. It is one of several bids for "active travel" schemes submitted by Swansea Council for 2022-23.
Wales's 22 councils bid annually for active travel funding and this time around, Swansea secured £7m of the £60m available. It had hoped to get a bit more, so not all of the elements of the schemes put forward will go ahead.
Further details will be announced a cabinet meeting on June 16. However, the council has confirmed the Mayals to Bishopston section has funding. Swansea already has a sizeable network of shared-use paths, and adds to it every year. You can read more stories about Swansea here.
