Thank you to everyone who has already taken part in the consultation process for improving the play area and youth facilities in Edenfield. Like many projects, the progress has been slowed by the ongoing Covid pandemic and unfortunately, at this stage, it has not been possible to secure all of the funding needed to complete both parts of the project at the same time. Instead of continuing to try and secure more funds over the next couple of years, it has been suggested that we continue to move forward with a phased approach – with priority being given to providing something for youngsters.
As interest in cycling across the region continues to grow, one idea for the new youth area is to create a pump track close to the play area. The pump track would allow new riders and families the opportunity to practice their cycling skills somewhere safe and local before gaining their confidence and, perhaps, moving off the track and out on to the trails that run throughout the beautiful Rossendale countryside. We’ve included a page of images and ideas below which might help you picture what the site could be like. You can click on the image to enlarge it if you need to.
It would be really helpful if you to complete this brief survey: Edenfield Pump Track Consultation to let us know what you think of the plans, and we’d also like to get your feedback and suggestions about what you would like to see included in the design. The survey only takes a couple of minutes to complete, but it will help make sure that we get the design right for you. Thank you for your time.

Hi guys – thanks for your patience. Please see the attached design. This is the design we are working towards for now – based on your (the communities) ideas and how realistic it will be to raise the monies. We have some funding bids in now to the Landfill Communities Funds and the National Lottery Awards for All so everyone, please cross your fingers and hope for the best. We could do with some good news couldn’t we?! 🙂

Remember – feel free to leave your comments at the bottom of the page. They are always welcome.

As you know, Proffitts have been working alongside Edenfield Village Residents Association, local residents on Rossendale Borough Council on new proposals for play in the village. A new plan has now been drawn up which proposes to upgrade facilities for toddlers on the site of the existing play area and create a new junior parkour/free running facility on the lower part of the recreation ground.

We’d really appreciate your feedback on the attached plan. Click here to let us have your thoughts and comments by 12th July. Thank you!

Following the initial consultation on the sketch design for new play facilities in Edenfield, Proffitts have revised the site proposals. The key changes are that the overall size of the proposed new play area is smaller; draining the entire recreation ground has been considered and access/materials to the play area have been altered in line with feedback. The proposed project is large, so the aim would be to deliver it in phases. Phase 1 would concentrate on play facilities and access onto the site.

Revised plans will be on display around the village and in shops  and schools during October and November and Proffitts would welcome your feedback.  Comments can be made at below or if you have specific queries, please email communities@proffittscic.com
