Rhondda Cynon Taff Council is to make a significant investment in improving cycle routes and accessibility across the Cynon Valley.
The improvements will be made possible thanks to funding from the Welsh Assembly Government’s Heads of the Valleys Programme
The grant will be used to enhance the existing cycle path from Prospect Place in Cwmaman to Monk Street in Aberdare.

A Walk Against the Wind Farm is to be held at Dare Valley Country Park on January 13th 2007. Starts 10am from the Dare Valley Country Park Visitor Centre.
The walk aims to raise awareness about the proposed wind farm to be sited near Cwmdare and running north to Hirwaun.
Those who take part in the walk will be able to see first-hand where some of the 400ft wind-turbines might be located and discuss their effects on the local environment.
David James, Chairman of Cynon Valley Ramblers has organised the event. He advises sturdy boots and estimates that the walk should last around two and a half hours. Hopefully the weather dries out for the day.
Everyone welcome. Just turn up on the day to join in the walk. For further information call David James on 01685 874600
