BEECHWOOD PARK BMX TRACK

Last night i attended a meeting with the other 2 ward councillors and council officers, to discuss the results of the consultation around building a BMX track in Beechwood Park, Holmfield. The feedback was, that people saw this as a great idea and around 90% of the returns were in favour of the scheme. Myself and the other cllrs were 100% behind the scheme. It will not cost the council anything as the earth required to shape the track is being given free of charge by Carillion, who are building the new Trinity Academy. They are also sending a JCB down to make the track, which has been designed by a local BMX expert. The work should be completed by the end of October at the latest and it is another addition to a vast improved local park.

The track will look something like the photo included.
