🚲 Bike Ramp Re-Build – Closure from 21 September
Our bike ramps will be closed from Monday 21 September while professional re-build works are carried out.
The work is expected to take up to 3 weeks, subject to weather, ground conditions and final safety checks before the ramps can safely reopen.
We are delighted that funding has been secured from the National Lottery Community Fund, Gloucestershire County Council and Ecotricity, helping make this much-needed improvement possible.
The re-build will update the existing ramps, improve their layout and incorporate drainage, helping to provide a safer and more enjoyable facility for the community.
Please do not enter the bike ramp area while the works are taking place. We appreciate everyone’s patience while the improvements are carried out.
