Herne Hill Velodrome Closure Threat - Save the Velodrome!

i wouldn't be surprised if changing rooms/storage/cafe facility for cyclists cannot be achieved for a lot less and still be a good facility to cater for the current number of visitors, the track is already very busy, it's not as if it's underused or activities are under subscribed.

i too like most people are looking forward to a positive outcome, the lease renewal is the beginning of this.

You may well be right about the budget/outturn cost and indeed a simplified scheme may be the outcome for a number of reasons (if the full £5m can't be raised, for example), so no need for anyone to get too stressed about the current 'vision'. Yes, the track is busy at certain times, but there is an opportunity to increase use - a 'family trundle route' is a great idea, I'm passionate about opening up the venue for disabled cycling and the track centre is currently under-used. None of these activities will detract from track training/racing.

Nice to see your positive end note!
