Holmes Chapel Parish Council has launched a consultation asking residents to share their views on a new pump track at Holmes Chapel Community Centre.

The parish council is asking residents to take part in a consultation here for the proposed new free-to-use outdoor facility for bikes, scooters and adaptive cycles.

​A spokesperson said: "Holmes Chapel Parish Council and its project partners are exploring the possibility of creating a BMX pump track in the village and expanding the existing skate park facility.

"We want your views and thoughts to help guide us in this project. The proposed pump track would be free to use and designed to provide a safe, welcoming, and accessible outdoor space for people of all ages.

"Suitable for bikes, scooters, and adaptive cycles, it would encourage physical activity, support wellbeing, and offer a positive place for people to meet, have fun, and enjoy being active outdoors."

The parish council says the pump track will mean more activities for young people, free outdoor recreation, better health and wellbeing, would be accessible for a range of ages and abilities.

The spokesperson added: "The proposed pump track would be free to access and designed to prioritise safety, accessibility, and shared use for children and young people aged 2-3 upwards, families, adults, beginners through the more confidence riders and beginners through to more confident riders.

"The current proposal is to build the pump track at the Community Centre. This is an ideal location as Everybody can oversee the site and it complements the existing skate park.

"We are considering placing the pump track either at the end of the field adjacent to the existing skate park or the other side closer to the community centre buildings depending on what is most feasible.

"In terms of design and construction, the pump track will require minimal maintenance and be suitable for year-round use with an asphalt track surface."

The deadline for residents to take part in the consultation is Monday, 30 November.
