  • anyone on here berm involved in pump track funding/building project?

    Early days but I've been asked to support development of a pump track build on our estate. Councillors & community assoc are on board, bid to be made to British Cycling places to ride fund.

  • It'd be S.Mcr

    The original "we've all but got the money" brief turned out to be too good to be true and it was far too late to bid to the places to ride fund.

    It hasn't stopped there though. We've formed a group working with council to improve the park area, and are about to send out a consultation to residents to find out what folks would like to see done. We'll then develop a long term plan with the council and idea is to have generic bids on the shelf ready for when suitable funding pots open up. This might mean we end up bidding for skatepark or urban gym funding instead of bmx track as it'd cover what folks want & what funding is available.

    There's a green strand to this too as wildlife conservation is likely to be important to folks, plus we still need to accommodate dog walkers etc in the space as they're the current major user group.
