For 40 years, people of all ages from across Milton Keynes and the surrounding area have been using the Pineham BMX track for sport, exercise and fun. It's a much-loved community asset, a place where young people can get active on their bikes away from the dangers of traffic. 

It's also the home of Milton Keynes BMX Racing Club, the number two club in the whole of the East region, which consistently produces skilled riders aged from four to 50+ who compete at regional, national, and even international levels.

However, increasingly regular and severe flooding means the track is now unusable for much of the year. The club cannot host races or training. People interested in trying the sport cannot be taught the basics. Members of the public cannot safely access the track for recreation. Ongoing repairs caused by flood damage also represent a financial drain on the club and the Parks Trust, which owns the site.

With the Olympic sport of BMX racing more popular than it has been in a generation, the people of Milton Keynes deserve a facility worthy of this fast-growing city.
