A reminder that work will begin next week (from 23/2026) to turn the pavement from the edge of Llangattock Village down to Crickhowell into a shared-use walking and cycle route. This means there will be two-way traffic lights on Hillside Road, by the allotments. The work will be done in 150m stretches, working downhill to the bridge. Accessible pedestrian access will be maintained throughout. The contractor, Alun Griffiths, is creating a works compound at the bottom of the Glebe Field.

Powys County Council's Highways, Transport and Recycling Service say it's part of a wider Active Travel project, under discussion since 2019, which aims to promote walking and cycling to and from Crickhowell High School and Llangattock. This work is restricted and stops short of the edge of Llangattock Village itself. A consultation carried out last autumn attracted a wide range of comments from residents, including many from the centre of Llangattock. Further in-depth analysis of these is ongoing by PCC, alongside more recent engagement involving the primary school, parents, and Crickhowell High School. An initial review has taken place, and officers report they are working with the design team ahead of escalating the findings to senior management for their consideration of next steps.

At this stage, the work does not include any further sections within the village. LCC continues to press for improvements to the kissing gates path and other benefits to residents to be included.

PCC has said it will provide a further update in due course and has clarified that delivery of this initial phase does not imply approval of the whole scheme.
