We are pleased to let you know that Thornley’s pump track is now available for use. The Parish Council has been planning the track for a long time, to provide children, young people and families with something active and positive to enjoy.
We extend grateful thanks to the people and organisations who have generously supported the project with funding:
- Sir James Knott Trust
- Former Durham County Councillors Jake Miller, Chris Varty, and Lucy Hovvels
- Police and Crime Commissioner, Joy Allen
- Durham County Council planning support (Section 106 funding)
- East Durham Area Action Partnership
The track was installed by Clark and Kent Contractors, who have built pump tracks, skate parks and bike tracks around the country as well as internationally. Thanks go to Clark and Kent colleagues, and to current and former Parish Council staff and Councillors, for their hard work bringing this project to life.
Please enjoy the track safely and responsibly. There are some more details about the pump track and other facilities on the Parish Council’s play areas and facilities page.
