Linking Connah's Quay to the Wales Coast Path - Walking, Wheeling & Cycling Survey

Currently, accessible walking, wheeling and cycling links between Connah’s Quay and the Wales Coast Path are not well developed, with the town largely separated from the Deeside coast.

Although access to the coast is possible via Dock Road, it is not a direct route and potential safety concerns may deter some people from using it. The Bridge Street pedestrian bridge provides a useful facility for able bodied pedestrians but cannot be used by those unable to negotiate steps, or cyclists. If access/safety improvements could be made it would better connect the town to the coast, improve access to nature and green space and positively impact on public health and the well-being of the local population.

Any improvements would, of course, need to take into account local constraints.

Working closely with Local Transport Projects the Council is inviting local people to put forward their views on accessible walking, wheeling and cycling issues in the area and ideas for improvement.

You can have your say in the following ways:

• Complete a survey online by clicking HERE.
• Come along to the ‘Place Making’ consultation event on Thursday 12th September 2024 (15:30-17:30) at Connah’s Quay Civic Hall (Wepre Drive, CH5 4HA) and speak to a member of the Local Transport Projects team.

Your views and opinions are important to us and the feedback we receive will help inform and guide how the project develops. Once all the feedback has been collected, analysed and considered we will publish the outcomes on our website.
