We are currently seeking funding to support a new mile long cycle track within Watchtree Nature Reserve. It has come to our attention that some funding bodies ask for evidence of community involvement and support. We hope that by presenting the outcomes of this petition we will be able to demonstrate the huge number of supporters Watchtree Nature Reserve and The Watchtree Wheelers have. The proposed track will be a multipurpose, tarmac and traffic free route. The tracks main uses would be recreational rides for all people, coaching for disabled and disadvantaged riders using adapted cycles (including coaching for competition), Learn to Ride Training for all abilities and ages, Bikeability training for all ages and abilities (Road Safety) and the ideal training facility for local cycling and other sporting groups.

Please spare a second to add your support and help us prove how much our facilities mean to our many users.

I have been overwhelmed by the messages about what this track would mean for our community. Your stories about learning to ride and finding a safe space to cycle are the real fuel behind this effort. I am just putting the paperwork together but it is your collective enthusiasm that is actually opening these doors for us.

Great idea. The nature reserve is a gem and needs more facilities like this for everyone to use safely.

This would be amazing for my kids. We go to the reserve all the time and a proper track would be perfect for bike training.

Get this built. Cycling is huge right now and we need safe places to ride away from all the idiots on the main roads.
