We’re consulting about a ‘pump track’

What is a pump track? It can be used with cycles, scooters, rollerblades, skateboards etc for fitness and fun.  

The above photo shows a design proposal. The end result may look a little different in design and size.

The map below shows the proposed location of the track, down from Thornley Library and near the Hilly Path. It would be available during daylight hours. 

The track would be designed and built by a British Cycling approved track building company, with over 50 years experience.

We hope to build it in 2024. We want to know what you think. Do you love this idea? Do you have any concerns? Please tell us your opinions using this form, before 28 August 2023.  We will also have information available at all Village Centre events and activities across the summer holidays (more details and a link to Facebook can be found on the Village Centre page).

If you have any questions, please contact the Parish Clerk on clerk@thornley-pc.gov.uk or 01429 820200.
