🚶‍♀️🚲 Have Your Say on Active Travel in Carmarthenshire 🚲🚶‍♂️

Caring responsibilities can make getting around more challenging, whether you're accompanying the person you care for to appointments, travelling to collect essentials, or trying to find time for your own wellbeing. Cyngor Sir Gâr - Carmarthenshire County Council wants to hear about the barriers you face when walking, wheeling, cycling or using other active travel routes.

This consultation is an opportunity to help shape a more accessible and inclusive transport network for everyone, including unpaid carers and the people they support.

🗺️ Share your views on:
✅ Accessibility issues on existing routes
✅ Missing links in the network
✅ Barriers that make journeys more difficult
✅ Improvements that could encourage safer and easier travel

📅 The consultation is open until 26 October 2026.

Your feedback could help improve everyday journeys across Carmarthenshire for carers, disabled people, older people, children and families.

👉 Take part here: Carmarthenshire County Council Active Travel Network Map consultation https://cyclewalkcarms.engaged.space/

Please share this post with other unpaid carers and help ensure carers' voices are heard.
