Search the Public Notice PortalA PROJECT to create a new skatepark and pumptrack in Tenbury Wells has hit a "huge milestone", with plans mooted for further expansion.
Diann Dowell, the owner of the health and wellness club, S.E.N.S.E, brought plans for the transformation on Palmer's Meadow forward to a Tenbury Town Council meeting this week, and was supported by eight young people who are involved.
Ms Dowell said her ideas were met with a "positive and constructive" discussion, and the plans will now be progressed to a Facilities Committee meeting in July.
With the momentum continuing to build, she has now revealed that as part of a longer-term vision for the area, the group, known as Pulse Point, has an aspiration to turn the adjoining woodland area into a skills trail or nature-based riding area.
"Inspired by visits to successful facilities elsewhere, this could create a unique opportunity for young people to develop skills, confidence and a connection with the natural environment, whilst complementing the wider Pulse Point project," she said.
"What started as a conversation about a tired skatepark over 10 months ago has now grown into a wider vision for youth recreation in Tenbury Wells."
Ms Dowell previously told the Tenbury Advertiser that the redevelopment of the current skate pad into a new pump track is likely to cost in the region of £650,000, which she plans to fund through various grants, and by establishing a GoFundMe page which would allow individuals to make a contribution.
