To receive a petition to Re-open the Huncote BMX Track Petition request:
We the undersigned, petition Blaby District Council to reopen the Huncote BMX track, which has long been a valued recreational space for riders of all ages.
The track has provided a safe, accessible, and fun environment for children, teenagers, and adults to enjoy cycling, develop skills, and stay active. Since its closure, local riders have lost a much-loved facility that supported physical health, mental well-being, and community spirit.
With BMX cycling now recognised as an Olympic sport, and more young people than ever inspired to take part, reopening the Huncote track would encourage healthy lifestyles, reduce anti-social behaviour, and give local families a place to come together.
We urge Blaby District Council to prioritise repairing and reopening the BMX track so our community can once again enjoy this.
The Council will receive the Petition and refer it to the relevant Portfolio Holder and Director for a response.
