Other transport projects

n 2024, the new Eglwys Brewis Active Travel route linking Cowbridge Road, St Athan and the Northern Access Road opened. Funded by an Welsh Government Active Travel Grant, these improvements are designed to support the health and well-being of communities and encourage active methods of travel across Wales. During the development of the scheme we took special care to ensure that we remain sympathetic to the needs of the existing wildlife. We have retained the existing treeline and maintained the same level of lighting so that bat populations and other wildlife will not be negatively impacted by the new changes. To increase the biodiversity in the area, our Parks Team have also planted 26 local species of trees, 1800m2 of grassland, 140m2 of various bulb planting areas and 740m2 of low level planting and shrub areas.
