A NUMBER of proposed Active Travel Routes in Newport could be used to further promote the city s Chartist heritage. New routes for walking and cycling could be set up as part of the M4 Commission plans to link outlying Newport districts to the city centre and to proposed new rail stations. Chairman of Our Chartist Heritage, Pat Drewett, has submitted a suggestion to Newport City Council that all the proposed walking and cycling routes should be named after local Chartists. By associating active travel routes with Newport’s much-loved Chartist heritage, designating each route with the name of a local Chartist personality, the network of routes will become more easily embedded into the culture of the city, he said.
