♿ Flintshire residents invited to shape the future of walking, wheeling and cycling 🚲 Cyngor Sir y Fflint / Flintshire County Council is inviting residents to have their say on the future of walking, wheeling and cycling across the county as part of a statutory 12-week consultation on its updated Active Travel Network Map (ATNM).Flintshire County Council’s vision is to create a network that makes walking, wheeling and cycling the most natural and convenient ways to travel for local everyday journeys.Councillor Glyn Banks, Cabinet Member for Waste and Transportation, said:“We want to hear from as many people as possible during this consultation to ensure the Active Travel Network Map reflects local priorities and helps us plan for a more sustainable for Flintshire.”Under the Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013, all local authorities in Wales are required to regularly review and improve their active travel networks. Flintshire's current Active Travel Network Map was approved by the Welsh Government in August 2022, and the Council has now reviewed the progress made over the past three years.The map includes:• Existing Routes - routes that already meet Welsh Government standards for walking, wheeling, cycling, or a combination of these.• Future Routes - proposed new routes or existing routes that require improvements to meet the required standards.The consultation will run for from 10th August to 2nd November 2026.You can view the map and take part in the consultation here:www.flintshire.gov.uk/en/Resident/Consultation-and-Engagement/Open/Flintshire-Active-Travel-Netwo...

Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Glyn Banks, Aelod y Cabinet dros Wastraff a Chludiant:"Rydym am glywed gan gynifer o bobl â phosibl yn ystod yr ymgynghoriad hwn er mwyn sicrhau bod Map y Rhwydwaith Teithio Llesol yn adlewyrchu blaenoriaethau lleol ac yn ein helpu i gynllunio ar gyfer Sir y Fflint sy'n fwy cynaliadwy.”O dan Ddeddf Teithio Llesol (Cymru) 2013, mae'n ofynnol i bob awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru adolygu a gwella eu rhwydweithiau teithio llesol yn rheolaidd. Cafodd Map Rhwydwaith Teithio Llesol presennol Sir y Fflint ei gymeradwyo gan Lywodraeth Cymru ym mis Awst 2022, ac mae'r Cyngor bellach wedi adolygu'r cynnydd a wnaed dros y tair blynedd diwethaf.Mae'r map yn cynnwys:• Llwybrau Presennol – llwybrau sy'n bodloni safonau Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer cerdded, olwyno a beicio neu gyfuniad o’r dulliau hynny.• Llwybrau'r Dyfodol – llwybrau newydd arfaethedig neu lwybrau presennol y mae angen eu gwella i fodloni'r safonau gofynnol.Cynhelir yr ymgynghoriad o 10 Awst tan 2 Tachwedd 2026.Gallwch weld y map a chymryd rhan yn yr ymgynghoriad yma:www.siryfflint.gov.uk/cy/Resident/Consultation-and-Engagement/Open/Flintshire-Active-Travel-Netwo...
