Deiseb a wrthodwyd Fund and create a cycle track along a former railway line to safely link local communities.

Since 2008, local residents have been trying to create a safe cycle path and walking route linking communities in Monmouthshire and Torfaen (eg. Usk, Monkswood, Little Mill, Mamhilad, Goytre, Pontypool and beyond) with rural routes and the off-road cycling network. A route following the former railway line and serving numerous communities will enable non-motorised transport to be used for both leisure, commuting and work purposes.

Despite securing two planning permissions and gaining local support, the route has not been prioritised by MCC or WG for funding. This is despite the route providing a much needed safe route for all abilities away from busy roads and providing both commuting and leisure links with other sustainable transport hubs, such as Pontypool railway station. The route will improve physical and mental health, allow all ages and abilities to access the countryside, support and encourage tourism and provide safe routes for accessing both work and retail. Areas along the route are poorly served with safe cycling provision for all ages and by creating this link, the route will connect with the wider cycle network found in Torfaen, Newport and Caerphilly. The project is supported by communities and organisations in the area and will provide vital links between populated areas, workplaces, businesses and new developments.

Pam gwrthodwyd y ddeiseb hon?

Mae’n ymwneud â rhywbeth nad yw’r Senedd na Llywodraeth Cymru yn gyfrifol amdano.

Ni all deisebau i’r Senedd ymwneud â mater sy’n gyfrifoldeb gweithredol awdurdod lleol ac, felly, nid ydym yn gallu derbyn deiseb ar y mater hwn.

Mae Deddf Teithio Llesol (Cymru) yn gosod dyletswyddau ar awdurdodau lleol i ymgynghori, datblygu a blaenoriaethu cynlluniau teithio llesol. Maent yn cael cyllid teithio llesol gan Lywodraeth Cymru i greu a chynnal llwybrau yn eu hardaloedd a gallant hefyd wneud cais am gyllid cystadleuol gan Lywodraeth Cymru.

Gallech ystyried cysylltu â’ch cyngor lleol neu’ch cynrychiolwyr lleol ynglŷn â’r mater hwn.

Dim ond deisebau nad ydynt yn bodloni’r safonau ar gyfer deisebau y byddwn yn eu gwrthod

Mae deisebau a wrthodwyd yn cael eu cyhoeddi yn yr iaith y cawsant eu cyflwyno ynddi
