Mohammad Asghar, Regional Assembly Member for South Wales East, has given his support to the development of a Sustrans Cycle Path from Chepstow to Tintern/Brockweir.
Proposals would see the cycle route constructed along a disused railway line which runs alongside the River Wye.
Mr Asghar said: “I am pleased to have written to Council officials to express my support for this proposal.
“Only this week, I raised the issue of encouraging more people to cycle in the Senedd. It’s so important”.
The Shadow Minister for Equality added: “The revised application has significant local support, and with good cause.
“The pathway will provide a much needed safe and sustainable route for cyclists and walkers enabling the enjoyment of the beautiful Wye Valley from a different perspective. It will provide a beautiful, alternative route to congested A roads which are often traffic logged”.
More information on the proposed Wye Cycle Path can be found on the website http://www.wyevalleycycling.org.uk/.
