Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs – in the Senedd at 2:06 pm on 14 December 2016.
Thank you. We absolutely recognise the importance of access opportunities for communities in order to promote better health and well-being. I think the Wales coastal path has not just been a hit with tourists; it’s absolutely been a hit with local communities and people right across Wales. We provide funding to NRW to maintain and improve the path, and there is a detailed work programme agreed with local authorities to develop links between local communities such as urban areas and the coast. I would hope that Newport City Council would be able to identify some routes and then secure support from NRW to improve and develop them.
