Mike Hedges AM Welcomes news that Swansea has benefited from Extra Active Travel Funding



Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport, Ken Skates, has written to AM’s informing them of an extra £700 000 which has been added to an existing investment of £8 million for active travel schemes. Included in the scheme is extra investment which will improve road safety within the catchment area for Pentrahafod Comprehensive School, including - 



Swansea Llangyfelach Road to Cwm Level Road

SRIC 110,300 Construct a plateau at the existing puffin crossing, provision of new puffin crossing, provision of a controlled crossing, 20 mph zone. Pentrahafod Comprehensive School and Brynhyfryd Primary School.



Speaking after receipt of the letter, Mike Hedges AM said ……this is great news for the Pentrahafod school catchment area. These investments will make a significant contribution to the safety of children walking to school – I would encourage parents to walk to school with their children rather than driving them – these developments will support and encourage parents to do just that.’
