Going forward with the Sport England ‘Inspired’ bid are a number of informative documents and letters of support by partnership members and other bodies. For a broad and informative insight to how the Hubs success will impact on many of Pendle’s clubs, schools and organisations please click on the links.

British Cycling President and local cyclist Brian Cookson is supportive of the project and stated that “it is just the sort of facility that is needed if we are to build on the enthusiasm that has been generated by the Olympics. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get our young people involved in sport, and this circuit will provide a safe and secure way of encouraging generations of Pendle youngsters to take up healthy lifestyles. Local Olympic Gold Medallist Steven Burke is a superb role model for our youngsters and this facility will ensure that the legacy of 2012 will help those who aspire to be the Olympians of the future.”

Thank you
