A LAKE District community is celebrating after British Cycling awarded £25,000 to secure its hopes of an exciting new bike track. Work is due to start after Easter on the new cycling circuit at Queen’s Park in Windermere, better known to generations of locals as The Rec’. The project will be the fruition of three years’ tireless dedication by community group Windermere Park For All, working with South Lakeland District Council (SLDC) officers. The group of local parents has been fundraising since 2017 to improve the popular SLDC-owned park for future generations, and the pump track will mark stage one of a major overhaul at The Rec.
