Major revamp planned for Sandfields and Aberavon as council unveils huge active travel upgrade
The £multi‑million scheme covers a 4.7km stretch linking the seafront with Afan Way, creating a continuous loop designed to make everyday journeys safer and easier without needing a car. Council officers say the project will tie directly into the wider Aberavon Seafront Masterplan, bringing long‑term improvements to some of the area’s busiest routes.
The plans include upgraded footways, new cycle lanes, safer crossings, resurfaced roads, better bus facilities and a series of public‑realm makeovers at key community hotspots. A consultation has now opened, with residents given until 11th March to give feedback.
The council says the work is vital in a community where official data shows fewer than half of households own a car, making safe walking and cycling routes essential for school runs, shopping trips and access to the beach.
Years in the making
The project has been in development since 2022, when a study identified ten Sandfields routes in need of upgrades. Early engagement followed in 2024, with residents helping shape the first designs for three priority corridors: Princess Margaret Way, Victoria Road and the Seaway Parade–Handel Avenue–Purcell Avenue loop.
By 2025, the scheme had expanded to include placemaking improvements around Memo Beach Café, the skate park, Tywyn Primary School and Purcell Avenue, with drop‑in sessions held last autumn to gather ideas. Detailed designs are now nearing completion, and the council is preparing a funding bid through the Regional Transport Fund to begin construction in 2026–27.

If approved, the scheme will deliver new and widened footways, resurfaced pavements and missing links such as the broken section near the Naval Club. Dedicated cycle lanes are proposed for Princess Margaret Way, with on‑road routes added to nearby residential streets to create a safer network.
Eight new Toucan crossings and five new Parallel crossings are planned for some of the area’s busiest junctions, alongside more than 50 upgraded uncontrolled crossings with dropped kerbs and tactile paving. Bus users would see new shelters and a relocated stop opposite Remo’s to support revised routes along the seafront.
Public spaces are also set for a facelift, with new seating, planting, surfacing and landscaping around Memo Beach, the skate park and Tywyn Primary School. Additional greenery and pocket planting would be added throughout the area to soften the streetscape.
Parking changes include new loading bays near Francos and Memo Café, extra disabled bays and a small net increase in overall parking along the seafront. Measures to stop pavement parking — including bollards, planting and double yellow lines — are also proposed.
Princess Margaret Way would be fully resurfaced as part of the works.
“A good balance of improvements for everyone”
Cllr Wyndham Griffiths, Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning, Transport and Connectivity, said the plans strike the right balance for a community with low car ownership but high demand for safer routes.
“I strongly encourage anyone who lives in or visits these areas to have their say on the proposals which would offer improved safety and better‑connected routes, whilst also lifting the overall appearance,” he said.
How to take part
The consultation runs until 11th March 2026, with residents able to complete the survey at
www.npt.gov.uk/activetravel.Two face‑to‑face drop‑in events will be held at Aberavon Leisure Centre on Monday 2nd March (3pm–7pm) and Saturday 7th March (10am–1pm), where the project team will be available to answer questions.
Paper copies of the plans and survey are available at Sandfields, Port Talbot and Neath libraries.

It says that it will be available for other Canadian cities really soon. It can't come to Edmonton fast enough, especially with all the construction making for some pretty awkward detours and routing.

Sime time ago I mentioned of a #OsmAnd profile I find quite useful for cycling. The profiles called #CycleRoute is partially inspired in #CyclOSM & is described here:
https://github.com/OsmAnd-Rendering/Cycling/blob/eb217c66b1d7ac858f6f289e232b6c6591011867/README_EN.md
Here u can find the instructions to install this and other profiles (for example a hiking profile):
https://github.com/OsmAnd-Rendering/.github/wiki/It is pretty straightforward downloading a file, opening with OsmAnd and importing the profile.
I like to have as default this profile with a CyclOSM overlay as shown in the pictures

#WestNorfolk #PlanningApplication #2401276F #DownhamMarket #DenverHill 3 more houses off an existing access right by the #cycling #cycleRoute crossing. I'll ask #KLWNBUG what they think about this.
-
@Nicovel0 yeah, surprising it's still #NCN after the bonfire of routes. Norfolk lost 42% of its routes in that, including some OK but leaving some off-road rubbish. The B road I grumbled about isn't a #cycleRoute but is an obvious desire line and second-best of five poor options into east of #kingsLynn. The best IMO is miles longer so I understand use of B road. Shame the police won't police it.

Which app do you use for cycling directions?
#bikeTO #BikeTooter #cycleroute -
What do people use for cycling directions? I’ve usually used #GoogleMaps because it shows bike lanes, but #AppleMaps actually uses bike lanes correctly when creating directions. Seems especially true of #ContraFlow cycle tracks.
Example below showing a route that should use the new Winona bike lane.

As has become a sort of tradition for this time of year, today we went on a longer #bike ride. Our journey took us on a trip from home to #Okehampton and then along the #NCN27 to #Tavistock and then on to #Plymouth. Part of that #CycleRoute is called #DrakesTrail and has many interesting #bridges on it. The one pictured (with me on it) here is called #GemBridge and is a #steel #arch which was only opened in #2012.
