The Community Engagement Roadshow attended the Coldstream Station Pump Track opening event on Wednesday 1 November to celebrate the completion of the Pump Track with an afternoon of free workshops & activities. If you’re not familiar with pump tracks, they are a circuit of rollers, banked turns and features designed to be ridden by “pumping” to generate momentum instead of pedalling. Pump tracks can be ridden using a bike, scooter, skateboard and even wheelchairs! Other facilities at the site - which runs parallel to the Rail Trail include toilets, shelter and a water fountain.

We were joined by officers from the Early Years team at our marquee who set up a 'Chill out zone' for the younger visitors & anyone who wanted a bit of time out and we chatted to families attending about council services and projects currently open for Community Consultation.
