WM Velodrome Campaign

We are campaigning for a world class velodrome to be built in the West Midlands for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. Sign petition in link below.

Although we have handed in our petition for a Birmingham / #WestMidlands #cycling #velodrome to #Birmingham city council, we will be keeping the petition open to ensure that the numbers are as high as possible for the feasibility consideration.

Today was the big day! We handed in our petition to #Birmingham Council leader Ward (who was very supportive) alongside #cycling legend Hugh Porter.

Thanks to everyone who has signed.

Electronic copies of the petition will soon be made available.

@TLRailUK Thank you - I have just messaged you.

@TLRailUK I have left my bag on a train from London Gatwick to Bedford after alighting at Farringdon. I have reported this online, but are you able to alert the train staff and station staff at Bedford to expect some lost property please?

🚴 The campaign for a #WestMidlands velodrome is gathering pace! Young riders like 15-year-old Jaime Downing face 50-mile trips just to train indoors. With backing from Dame Laura Kenny, Matt Richardson & Lizzie Deignan, it's time to end the region being "left behind."

@jordanbhx David Viner (campaign lead) got this video of Bilston CoE Head talking about a school trip to Derby Velodrome.

It would be great to make this a reality for schoolchildren in the West Midlands on a more regular basis.

Happy for you to share!

@jordanbhx The campaign is definitely still active!

The “Ben Healy Velodrome” would be a great name. 

There are discussions ongoing behind the scenes...

[WM Velodrome Campaign @WMvelodrome]

Listen to David Viner speak on Black Country Radio about a recent school trip to Derby Velodrome.

This type of opportunity could be more common for schoolchildren if we have a West Midlands Velodrome!
