Beechwood Park REF :- BMX Zone proposals
Dear Resident / Park user,
There is the opportunity to create some BMX track facilities at Beechwood Park. The need for some BMX dirt track facilities within the Beechwood park area has been identified by the local group, Friends of Beechwood Park. The facility will be made from imported material and can be removed if necessary. It will form a dirt track for BMX and mountain bikes.
As part of the consultation process for the potential BMX zone, we are seeking your views and ideas to consider the way forward. Attached is a questionnaire for you to complete and return (and stamp addressed envelope), your response is extremely important to the outcome. If you would like to know any more information or have any questions, please get in touch.
Regards

Examples of how the BMX Zone could look:

This questionnaire should be going out to local residents very soon, local children and parents attended the last Friends of Beechwood Park meeting and asked if this track could become a reality. Myself and another Councillor attended the meeting and i am fully supportive of the proposals. As the text below explains, if the track causes too much Anti Social Behaviour, it can,  and will be removed within days. Apart from the printing of the questionnaire, there is no other cost to ratepayers, as the topsoil is to be donated free and local parents and children will make the track themselves.
