Support for Abergavenny Velo Park

The Issue

Abergavenny Road Club are asking for you to help our campaign to support the proposed Velo Park in Llanfoist, Abergavenny. 

The Velo Park is being presented to planning committee on March 1st. We would like to demonstrate our support by asking you to sign this petition highlighting the need for this facility in Abergavenny, and the desire to see it in use.

This purpose-built cycling facility will be available for leisure, coaching, training and competitive cycling, and will cater for cycling on a safe, closed road circuit together with off road recreational mountain bike trails.

It will also be available for other wheeled sports such as disability cycling on adapted bikes, wheelchair sport  and Nordic skiing, together with running and walking. It combines recreational trails with a purpose-built circuit - a traffic free road used as a sports and leisure facility.

Please show your support for this application by signing this petition in regard to the health and wellbeing of our local communities (especially children), continued support for the local cycling clubs and the opportunity it presents to confirm Abergavenny’s reputation as a centre of cycling for recreation and competition.

Responded
Dear all, Thank you for taking the time to sign this petition. This afternoon senior councillors at Monmouthshire County Council considered the recommendation to proceed with the first stage of the Velo Park following approval by the planning committee yesterday. We approved around £500,000 for the first phase and officers will now work at pace to secure funding for the second and third phases. We were really excited to support the proposals and could see the real benefits this project could bring to the Abergavenny area for so many people. Thank you for taking the time to share this petition with us and demonstrate the level of support for this project. Yours sincerely, Richard Cllr Richard John Leader, Monmouthshire County Council
