The Vale of Glamorgan Council has published a map depicting planned routes for its "Active Travel Network" - a project "that allows for walking and cycling to become the most natural and normal way of getting about for local journeys".

The local authority recently held a consultation on the plans to upgrade existing routes for walking and cycling for everyday journeys and develop additional ones.

Almost 650 people responded, making 4640 contributions which "helped shape the plans".

Working with Sustrans Cymru, the Vale of Glamorgan Council have considered the comments and have drafted route plans.

The public is now being invited to view the proposed routes and to give feedback on whether the proposed future network is likely to improve the area.

"Please view the draft map here, drop a pin on the map and share your thoughts:
