Public consultation available on new Clitheroe pump track funded by UKSPF
Members of the public are being encouraged to have their say on plans to create a pump track in Clitheroe.
Ribble Valley Borough Council is proposing to construct the track at Edisford, utilising up to £100,000 of UKSPF money.
Specialist track designer and builder Clark and Kent Contractors has been chosen to deliver the project and the initial indicative plans can be viewed online.
An online public engagement session is also being held virtually on Thursday February 12th between 4pm and 6pm.
Anyone wanting to take part can access it between those times by clicking on the link on the council website. The page also contains details on how to take part in the online survey.
Paper copies of the survey are also available at the council offices in Clitheroe.
The deadline for comments is Friday February 27th.
All details are available at UK Shared Prosperity Fund – Ribble Valley Borough Council.
Coun. Stuart Hirst, chairman of the council’s community services committee, said: “There’s been an increasing demand for a pump track in Clitheroe so it’s great to see this scheme taking shape.
“A similar track opened in Longridge last year and has proved to be very popular and well-used. I’m sure this track at Edisford will be equally popular with riders of all ages and provide another great leisure facility in the area.
“It’s important that we get feedback from local people, including prospective users of the track and residents that live near to the site, as well as others so we have a full picture before any final decision is made.”
