NEW BIKE TRACK IN STOCKWOOD WILL BENEFIT THE WHOLE COMMUNITY

Access Sport imagine a future where every child has access to a bike, the skills and confidence to ride and a safe space to ride near home. Exciting off-road facilities make this possible, so it is brilliant to announce that the re-development of Stockwood Bike Track has begun.
The Paralympic Games highlight the need for more opportunities for disabled people to get active

The Paralympic Games are brilliant and for two weeks every four years, disability sport is in the spotlight. But with disabled people in the UK only half as likely as non-disabled people to play sport regularly, we must do more to capitalise on the Paralympic flame and ensure that disabled people get the chance to take part in activities week-in, week-out every year.
