Consultation on National Transport Delivery Plan

Wheelrights has sent this response to the invitation to comment on the NTDP. This reply from Lee Waters (Deputy Climate Change Minister) has been received.

Parking on Pavements

The problem of vehicles parking on pavements, in particular on shared use paths (SUPs) used by school children, is a current campaigning issue for Wheelrights. Blocking of the SUP on Sketty Road has highlighted this. If you are aware of other hot spot areas and can provide evidence, eg in the form of photos, please pass this on to our Secretary. (His contact details are on the About us page.)

Report on Active Travel Act

Wheelrights has sent this response to the invitation from the All Party Group to comment on the Active Travel Act.

Active Travel Network Map

In September 2021 Swansea Council provided a map divided into six sheets on which proposed ATNM routes are marked. It can be found on this website. Consultation on it was invited by 15 November 2021. Shortly before the deadline this Wheelrights response was emailed to Arcadis, with whom we had previously had discussions. Because it did not include the routes Wheelrights had selected for the ATNM this List of Wheelrights routes was also sent to Arcadis.

Previously, in the spring of 2021, there had been the Commonplace exercise in which the public were invited to place pins on a map of Swansea County and identify the cycle/pedestrain provision they would like to see. There was a strong response, including from Wheelrights.

Active Travel Guidance

The 2014 "Active Travel Act Design Guidance" has been superseded by this 2021 version. (Note that "Design" has been omitted from the title as it now covers more than just design.) Wheelrights submitted this consultation on the draft in February 2020.

Bikes on Trains

The Welsh Assembly Cross Party Active Travel Group is seeking to get better provision for the transport of bikes on trains. This involves drawing on good practice, especially European, and providing space for more bikes. This report, which relates principally to TfW trains, covers the deliberations of the group at their 17 September 2019 meeting and these photos illustrate good European practice (and some not so good local provision).

Response to WG's low CO2 report

This report is Wheelrights response to a Welsh Gov. consultation paper on achieving Carbon emission targets.

Fabian Way Corridor

In the summer of 2022 Swansea Council invited letters of support for their latest plans for cycle provision in the Fabian Way Corridor. This was Wheelrights response drafted by John Sayce (Wheelrights Chair) and this Cycling UK's letter prepared David Naylor (CUK's Swansea rep.) There had previously been a consultation on earlier plans to which in January 2016 Wheelrights responded.
