WORK to improve a walking and cycling route around Llandrindod Lake will begin next week.

The project will start during the week beginning September 28 and forms part of the wider Llandrindod Wells active travel scheme, which aims to improve connections between the lake and the town centre.

Councillor Jackie Charlton, Powys County Council’s cabinet member for a Greener Powys, said: "These improvements will help provide safer and more accessible walking and cycling links between the lake and the town centre.

"We have spent considerable time engaging with residents, businesses, the town council and local county councillors to help shape these plans.

"We recognise that roadworks can cause some disruption and would like to thank residents, businesses and visitors in advance for their patience and cooperation while this work takes place."

The scheme includes a widened shared-use path along Princes Avenue, with parking retained on both sides, extending around Lake Road.

Improvements will also be made at the Grosvenor Road and Golf Links Road junction to increase visibility.

Work will begin at the Grosvenor Road end and is expected to take around 16 weeks to complete.

Traffic management measures will be in place to minimise disruption during construction.
