| 01 March 2004 Better BMX track promised
 Riding high on BMX track hopes |  | The head skate park man in Nuneaton has promised to do everything he can to get the BMX track upgraded at the Jubilee site, perhaps even by the summer. |
 | | Simon D. Jones, the sport & community development officer at NB Leisure Trust, has pledged to do something about the state of the BMX track in Jubilee Park.

The leisure trust has applied for funding from the Living Spaces funding group.
Mr Jones said: "Early signs are positive regarding chances of funding.
"We are aiming to get things started by the start of this summer, but I must advise that this funding is not yet guarenteed, so I don't want to raise your hopes, but it's good news so far."
|  | The views of all local park users are needed, so get involved |
Mr Jones also wants the Nuneaton & Bedworth Skate Parks Management Committee to be more invloved in the improvements and future of the site as well.
He said: "We are hoping to look at the role the committee could play in the running of the BMX Park, i.e. Code of Conduct, writing up a constitution, etc."
If you are interested in becoming an active part of this project then please contact Mr Simon D. Jones at simon.jones@nbleisuretrust.co.uk.
Or give him a call on 024 7637 6305.
