I LIVE on the estate that overlooks the new BMX track at Goldenbank (one of only about six properties that actually has sight of the field in question).

We have watched this track being constructed for some weeks and didn’t really know what its purpose was until we read the article about it in the local press.

Whoopee, what a brilliant idea; something to get our youngsters outdoors and active with a minimum footprint – no building or fencing – just earth moved to form a rather pleasing array of mounds and bumps.

I find the sight perfect and unobtrusive (nobody really knows it’s there) and am glad to see this area being utilised for young people.

Mr Jewell was considerate enough to enquire of the residents here if they found it a problem and, I for one am all for it, as my neighbour commented “it was really exciting and exhilarating to see these young people flying through the air like ET on his way back home.

Now, where’s my bike?
