Active Travel in Neath Port Talbot 1 Active Travel in Neath Port Talbot 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 The Active Travel (Wales) Act 2013 (the Act) places new duties on Councils in Wales to prepare and publish active travel maps. 1.1.2 'Active Travel' means walking and cycling as an alternative means to motorised transport for the purpose of making everyday journeys. An 'active travel journey' means a journey made to or from a workplace or educational establishment or in order to access health, leisure or other services or facilities. 1.1.3 The definition covers short-distance commuting, travel to school and other educational facilities, travel to the shops, travel to leisure facilities and so on. Where routes could not be used to access a workplace or educational establishment, health, leisure or other services or facilities, then they are not suitable to be considered as active travel routes. This definition also excludes routes that are purely made for recreational use (e.g. routes intended as mountain bike trails) as well as routes that do not connect to facilities and services. 1.1.4 The Council is required to map and plan for suitable routes for active travel within the following settlements [or 'Built Up Areas' (BUAs)] identified by the Welsh Government: Neath, Port Talbot, Pontardawe, Croeserw, Cymmer, Brynamman, Gwaun Cae Gurwen, Blaengwrach, Glynneath, Cwmafan, Seven Sisters and Resolven. Specifically, the Council is required to prepare and publish the following two maps: Existing Route Map (ERM); and Active Travel - Existing Route Map & Integrated Network Map Consultation Document (June 2017) Integrated Network Map (INM). 1.2 Existing Route Map (ERM) 1.2.1 The ERM is primarily intended to inform the public of the existing routes in the County Borough that the Council considers suitable for active travel and which meet standards set out by the Welsh Government. 1.2.2 The Council prepared, consulted upon and submitted the first ERM to the Welsh Government early in 2016. Following a period of review, the Council subsequently received Ministerial approval on 12th August 2016. 1.2.3 The Council has continued to keep the ERM under review. This review has identified a limited number of additional routes that have warranted consideration for inclusion and 1 consequently, these routes have been audited and scored against the design guidance in the Act. 1.2.4 The additional routes proposed for inclusion in the Council's ERM are set out in Appendix A - all other routes included on the approved ERM remain unchanged. 1 . Active Travel in Neath Port Talbot Active Travel - Existing Route Map & Integrated Network Map Consultation Document (June 2017) 1.3 Integrated Network Map (INM) 1.3.1 The INM is required to set out the Council's aspirations for the next 15 years, identifying either improvements to existing routes that could be made or new routes that could be developed and added to the active travel network. 1.3.2 The INM is therefore mainly a tool to enhance the forward planning of active travel and to support infrastructure development planning. The INM will be an important document for the Council and once approved will be considered as part of the planning decision making process so that aspirations are realised as part of ongoing development, either directly or by means of financial contributions from developers. 1.3.3 Details of all routes proposed for inclusion on the Council's INM are presented in Appendix B. 1.3.4 The County Borough has been divided into the following fifteen sub-areas: Lower Brynamman & Gwaun Cae Gurwen; Cwmllynfell; Pontardawe; Ystalyfera; Seven Sisters; Resolven; Glynneath & Blaengwrach; Skewen; Neath, Tonna & Cimla; Jersey Marine; Briton Ferry; Baglan, Aberavon & Sandfields; Cwmafan; Croeserw & Cymmer; and Port Talbot, Taibach & Margam. 1.3.5 Each sub-area contains a map illustrating the extent and distribution of the proposed routes, along with a table providing baseline information including the unique INM reference number; the settlement/BUA; type of route; brief description; and whether the route has been categorised as short or long term. 1.3.6 The routes categorised as 'short term' are those which have the potential to be prioritised and are on parts of the network that are most likely to have the greatest impact on increasing rates of active travel and on the number of people choosing to travel actively. Those categorised as 'long term' are the more aspirational routes that could be developed and added to the active travel network in the longer term. 1.3.7 In terms of an overview, the Consultation Draft INM includes the following(1): Total number of routes - 100; Number of routes by type - 58 cycling and 42 pedestrian; Number of routes identified as having potential for delivery in the short term - 56; and Number of routes identified as long term / aspirational - 44. 2 1 These routes are in addition to the routes included on the Council's ERM. 1 . Active Travel in Neath Port Talbot 1.4 The Consultation 1.4.1 The purpose of the consultation is to give anyone and any organisation interested in Active Travel, the opportunity to get involved in determining if the routes are fit for purpose; whether the routes are mapped accurately and/or meet the Welsh Government standards; and whether any routes have been missed. 1.4.2 The consultation period will run for 12 weeks, starting at midday on Monday 26th June and ending at midday on Monday 18th September 2017. 1.4.3 Comments can be submitted: Directly Online at: www.npt.gov.uk 1.4.4 Alternatively: By E-mail to: [email protected] By Post to: Nicola Pearce Head of Planning and Public Protection, Active Travel - Existing Route Map & Integrated Network Map Consultation Document (June 2017) Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, The Quays, Brunel Way, Baglan Energy Park, Neath, SA11 2GG. 1.4.5 Comments via E-mail or Post will need to be submitted using the 'Active Travel 3 Questionnaire'. Copies of the questionnaire are available on request or an editable version is available to download from the Council's website: www.npt.gov.uk 1.4.6 It should be noted that comments received cannot be treated as confidential. All comments will be made available for public inspection and placed on the Council's website. 1 .

Comments received after the deadline will not be accepted. 1.5 What Happens Next? 1.5.1 All responses to the consultation will be reviewed by the Council's 'Regeneration and Sustainable Development Cabinet Board', together with any necessary amendments that are needed to the ERM and/or INM. Once approved, the maps will be submitted to the Welsh Government for Ministerial approval early in November 2017. 1.6 Further Information 1.6.1 For more information in regard to any aspect of the Active Travel maps, you can contact the Council direct either by e-mail: [email protected] or telephone: [01639] 686845. 1.6.2 Alternatively you can write to us using the address above. 4 A .

  • Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Aspires to Deliver an Inclusive Education Service That Celebrates Diversity and Respects Everyone’S Right to Education
    Appendix A Admission to Community Schools 2019/2020 1. Introduction The Council is the admission authority for all community maintained schools in the County Borough. As admission authority, the Council determines the criteria that will be applied when allocating places at community schools. This document sets out the admission arrangements that will apply during 2019/20 for: nursery classes based at community primary schools; community primary schools; community secondary schools; and the Welsh-medium sixth form at a community secondary school. For voluntary aided (i.e. Faith) schools, it is each school’s governing body that determines the admission arrangements, details of which can be obtained from the respective governing body. This policy document sets out the principles underpinning the admission arrangements for community schools together with the procedures and the timetables for admission during the 2019/20 school year (appendices 1, 2, 3 & 4). Further details to assist parents in applying for a school place choosing a school for their child will be set out in the ‘Information for Parents Handbook 2019/2020’ which will be available to parents in October 2018, prior to the application date. The handbook will contain important information about schools in the County Borough including their admission numbers, the catchment areas they serve together and their partner school arrangements. The handbook also contains the published admission arrangements for individual voluntary aided (i.e. Faith) schools. In this respect, the ‘Information for Parents Handbook 2019/2020 forms an integral part of the information available to parents on school admission. 2. Context Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council aspires to deliver an inclusive education service that celebrates diversity and respects everyone’s right to education.
