Audley Pump Track, Staffordshire

Audley pump track construction

Audley Parish Council found that their existing BMX bike track had become unsafe just three years after its original construction by a non-specialist contractor.

They required a UCI & British Cycling approved contractor to rebuild and make good the unusable BMX pump track. Clark & Kent Contractors were chosen in competitive tender because of their unrivalled experience in pump track building and an extremely competitive price.

As a welcome addition to their already popular and well-used public park, Audley Parish Council chose Clark and Kent Contractors to construct the multi mini-wheeled track with an all-weather tarmac surface that caters for all BMX rider ability levels and a wide range of age groups.

This was a great example of a limestone track that needed a maintenance-free update and it was remodelled to create an exciting and long-lasting pump track for the community to enjoy. The Audley pump track construction project at Queen St, Audley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST7 8HD, was completed in just two weeks. When finished, the restored pump track triggered a hive of activity in the local community.

The new BMX pump track at Audley is considered a great asset to the council and to the whole area. Audley is a large village in Staffordshire about four miles northwest of Newcastle-under-Lyme near the Staffordshire – Cheshire border. It was once a significant coal mining area with six working collieries but is now a popular commuting village. As well as a BMX track Audley has football, cricket and bowling clubs.
