Great new feature
A new track designed to be both a playground and a training facility for bikers, skateboarders or scooter riders of all skill levels has opened.
The new pump track in Edenfield, which was designed and constructed by Velosolutions UK, was opened to the public on March 30. Users can practice very basic skills like improving balance and building speed, or they can try more challenging jumps and tricks on the track too. Rossendale Borough Council have been working in partnership with the Edenfield Village Residents Association and local Community Interest Company Proffitts – Investing in Communities on a project to create the track. Dave McChesney, Green Spaces Manager from Rossendale Borough Council, said: ‘’We’re really pleased the track is now open, and I’m certain that the local residents and people from surrounding areas will enjoy meeting, playing, cycling and socialising here over the coming months.
A resident and member of the Edenfield Village Residents Association said: ‘’We’re extremely grateful to both the Lancashire Environment Fund and Rossendale Borough Council for funding the new facility. “The track will allow children and new riders the opportunity to have fun and practice their cycling skills somewhere safe and local before gaining their confidence and, perhaps in the future, moving off the track and out on to the trails that run throughout the beautiful Rossendale countryside too.’”
