BIGLIS TO DINAS POWYS ACTIVE TRAVEL ROUTE (REF) The Deputy Leader presented the report, noting that this work had been underway for several years, but that this would allow the Council to move into construction on both phases in line with regulations. They indicated that they were seeking to utilise 8 pieces of land owned by 4 landowners, with the preferred approach being negotiation ahead of Compulsory Purchase Order. They noted that this active travel route was essential in supporting people’s health, providing an alternative form of transport and improving safety on a particular route. Councillor Dr. Johnson said that this route was long awaited, with initial plans for this to be delivered in 2020, and that this would be considered by Planning Committee in the future. They highlighted the twin track approach outlined by Welsh Government, with the emphasis being upon discussions, which could take several years. Councillor Ernest indicated that this this could be an opportunity to revive the Dinas Powys bypass project and provide better links for road users. Councillor Penn stated that many people were put off cycling to Barry due to safety concerns and welcomed anything that could be done to facilitate active travel. The Deputy Leader emphasised that negotiations were due to get underway as quickly as possible, and that the scheme had significant preparation work over many years, and they hoped it would help the aim of reducing car users and improving safety.
