Mountain bike track – update

Over the last few months, three consultation meetings have been held to discuss the designs for the new mountain bike (MTB) track being installed in Tawd Valley Park,

There was a great turnout for all three meetings of the public consultation meetings including over 40 attendees at the initial meeting.  People were keen to give feedback and were brilliant when it came to altering the design of the track to suit the needs of the local mountain biking community.

There is a core group of locally based riders who are committed to the success of the project and they have expressed an interest in running events, courses and ‘dig days’ at the facility once it’s up and running.

With a final design in place, the MTB track can now go through the planning application process. Provided the project achieves planning permission, groundwork will begin early June and will take approximately 4 weeks to complete.
