Twechar Pump Track: Community Consultation

East Dunbartonshire Council has commissioned Green Action Trust to engage with local residents and young people to gauge interest in the creation of an outdoor pump track for community use.

A pump track is a purpose-built track for cycling. It has a circuit of ramps and turns designed to be ridden by riders "pumping" or generating momentum by body movements, instead of pedalling or pushing. 

Pump tracks can be designed to suit both inexperienced riders as well as those with experience who can use BMX bikes, mountain bikes and scooters. There are several successful pump tracks in Scotland, which are used as a base for a variety of activities including those for school groups and organised events as well as general community use. Involvement in pump track programmes has been proven to have benefits both socially and in support of positive mental and physical therapy.

We would like to hear your thoughts on the pump track proposals. Two drop-in events have been organised at Twechar Healthy Living & Enterprise Centre, St John’s Way, Main Street, G65 9TA to give residents an opportunity to find out more and give their feedback.

Event Details

Wednesday 2 April, 12pm - 2.30pm

Saturday 5 April, 930am - 12.30pm

If you can’t make one of the drop-in events, you can also share your feedback here. 

The survey is open from 21 March 2025 until 11 April 2025.

Please note, the project will be subject to Council review, so comments made at this stage are to understand wider views in the community and are not part of the planning process.
