We would be grateful if the Trustees of the Savernake Estate would reconsider their blanket ban on jump biking in Chisbury Wood, Great Bedwyn, Nr Marlborough. It would be a positive response to the young people of the area, if the Trustees would look again, at working with the local community to permit a limited number of jumps in the woods.

The climb toward one thousand signatures is grueling but we are holding steady. We need to push through this current fatigue to ensure the Trustees cannot ignore what we are asking for.

Seeing this much support gathering for the woods is exhausting but deeply necessary. It is clear now that we are not the only ones who feel this space belongs to the community.

Please reconsider lifting your ban and working with the community. Open an avenue for healthy sport and growth for youth and adult alike by working to foster a community that's obviously ready to put in time and work to make a wonderful place for people to gather.

Please let these guys continue to transform a small corner of woodland into a haven of inspiration for many. I've seen it happen near me in Bristol and the results have been unimaginably positive for both community and forest. With best wishes, Dan

Hand built jumps are sustainable and do not damage woods anything like as much as driving tracked vehicles through; they provide a focus for dedicated and talented riders and encourage other people to become dedicated, talented riders.

Trail builders and Mountain bikers are legitimate and usually conscientious of our glorious country side. Let them get on with a positive, healthy, challenging and rewarding activity. Some of them kids might be future Olympic champions.

As long as you leave no litter, and keep it all tidy and safe, out of the way of walkers and wildlife, the forestry commission should be encouraging all the mountain biking! Especially as when you're just moving around some dirt to jump off! Best of luck!

I can vouch for how these lads feel about having their hard work destroyed having spent eight years digging a trail only to have the local council destroy without any chance to explain or discuss. They're being productive and have a healthy hobby, why discourage this?
