The Issue

As members of the local community and part of the team behind the Longframlington Community Fund, we have spent the past year working with volunteers and residents to improve our village recreation areas. Through community events and fundraising — including Longframlington Fun Day — we have already raised significant funds to support local facilities and bring people together.

During this work, one thing has become very clear: young people in the village would hugely benefit from a safe, dedicated space to cycle. Longframlington is home to a thriving community with countless children, young people, and families who are eager for a place where they can safely ride their bikes, build confidence, and develop cycling skills.

Our vision is to create a pump track style community bike track adjacent to the existing play park and multi-sports area. Such a space would not only serve as an exciting outdoor facility for all ages but would also promote exercise, community engagement, and a healthy, active lifestyle.

Research from various communities across the UK has shown that access to safe and designated outdoor recreational facilities contributes positively to physical health, mental well-being, and community bonding. A well-designed bike track attracts not only local families but also cyclists from neighboring towns, providing a boost to local businesses.

This initiative aligns perfectly with our ongoing commitment to improving local amenities and fostering a connected, active community. To bring this project to fruition, we need the support of local authorities, potential sponsors, and members of the public. We have already secured initial funding through previous community activities but require additional support to make this vision a reality.

Join us in creating a safe and fun space for cyclists of all ages. Your signature can help demonstrate the widespread community backing needed to advance discussions with local councils and potential benefactors. Together, let's enhance Longframlington's recreational offerings and create opportunities for young people to thrive.

Please sign this petition to show your support for the Longframlington Community Bike Track. Every signature counts in our mission to provide a safe, engaging, and healthy outlet for our community's children and families.
