BMX Campaign Continues...

The campaign for a BMX bike track continues in Peasedown St John. For many years a group of local people have believed that more facillities should be provided for young people to stimulate them, keep them active, and steer them away from boredom and potential anti-social behaviour.

Despite continual 'interventions' from members of the Parish Council trying to slow the process down we are determined to carry on with getting the job done.

Unfortunately the the best field to have such a track belongs to the Parish Council - so we need to get their permission and support before anything can begin to take shape.

I was really encouraged to see to in this year's Olympics that 'BMXing' is now part of the games. Could Peasedown St John provide an athlete for this sport at the 2012 games in London? It would be fantastic and good for village morale but unless the Parish Council identifies the need for this project and is willing to show signs of change and modernisation our hopes will not become reality.
