During the financial year, Bike Park Chilterns CIC delivered significant community benefit by securing the long-term future of two major mountain biking facilities in the Chilterns. Most notably, the organisation was awarded the tender and entered into a long-term lease to redevelop and operate Aston Hill Bike Park, safeguarding the return of a much-loved regional cycling facility that has been closed since 2020. This achievement represents a major step towards restoring year-round access to professionally managed, sustainable mountain bike trails within close proximity to London. In addition, Bike Park Chilterns was awarded a £23,000 Neighbourhood Grant from Watford Borough Council’s Neighbourhoods Team, funded through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). This grant was secured to support the development of the Whippendell Woods Bike Park, a new free-to-access mountain bike facility designed to serve local residents, families, young people and visitors. While construction is scheduled for summer 2025, the successful award of this funding during the reporting period enabled detailed planning, partnership working and project mobilisation to take place. Together, these milestones represent substantial progress in expanding inclusive outdoor recreation opportunities, supporting active lifestyles, and delivering long-term social value through community-focused cycling infrastructure.
During the reporting period, Bike Park Chilterns CIC continued to actively engage with key stakeholders whose interests are directly affected by the organisation’s activities, particularly in relation to the Whippendell Woods Bike Park project. The principal stakeholders consulted were West Herts Golf Club and Watford Borough Council. West Herts Golf Club is a neighbouring land user and leaseholder, with land adjoining and forming part of the area identified for the bike park. Watford Borough Council is the land manager responsible for the return of the land from the golf club lease and the subsequent leasing of the site to Bike Park Chilterns CIC for a period of seven years. Consultation took place through ongoing meetings, site walks, written correspondence and planning discussions. These consultations focused on access arrangements, boundary management, safety considerations, environmental impacts and the long-term operation of the facility. Feedback from both stakeholders directly informed the project design and delivery approach. In response, Bike Park Chilterns CIC adapted trail layouts to respect boundary sensitivities, incorporated agreed access and management measures, and aligned project timelines with the land transfer process. The organisation has also committed to ongoing dialogue throughout the build and operational phases to ensure the facility operates in a manner that is respectful of neighbouring land use and community interests. This collaborative approach has enabled the project to progress with stakeholder support while maintaining a clear focus on delivering long-term community benefit.
