We are reviewing active travel options to improve the walking and cycling environment for residents and visitors in Amlwch. This study builds on previous studies which identified six active travel corridors for improvement. These connect the key destinations around Amlwch town centre, including the secondary school, leisure centre, Amlwch Industrial Estate, and Amlwch Port. The overall aim of the project is to maximise opportunities for people to travel by sustainable modes within Amlwch.

See below an overview map outlining the corridor extents in Amlwch.
Welsh Transport Appraisal Guidance (WelTAG) Stage One and Two studies were undertaken between January 2022 and January 2023. These studies focused on identifying solutions to sustainable transport barriers and challenges in Amlwch.
The aim of the scheme is to improve the walking and cycling environment for residents and visitors in Amlwch and to connect the community with green spaces.
The studies identified an extensive list of problems which include:
Scheme objectives were subsequently defined in order to ensure that any proposed solution addresses the identified problems.
The objectives for the Scheme are:
Proposed Improvements
The proposed improvements have been identified based on a review of the existing challenges in Amlwch, concerns raised by residents during consultations, and alignment with policies and objectives.
The emerging preferred option for this road is to improve on-road conditions to encourage an increase in cycle use within existing highway, and also creating a safer more attractive route for active travellers. This is done by:
General arrangement drawing showing the proposed active travel improvements along Corridor 1 (Ffordd Tanybryn).
The emerging preferred option for this road is to separate pedestrians and cyclists from motor traffic through the provision of a shared-use off-carriageway path. This would be done by:
The ability to deliver these improvements is dependent on acquiring third-party land.

The emerging preferred option for this road is to improve on-road conditions to encourage an increase in cycle use within existing highway, and create a safer more attractive route for active travellers. This is done by:
General arrangement drawing illustrating the proposed active travel improvements along Corridor 3: A5025 between Red Shell roundabout and Mona Street (including Salem Street).
The emerging preferred option for this road is to improve on-road conditions to encourage an increase in cycle use within existing highway, and create a safer more attractive route for active travellers. This is done by:
