Claines councillors are delighted to confirm that the contract for the new pump track at Perdiswell Leisure Centre has been formally awarded to Four One Four Limited, with work due to begin on site from 5 January 2026. The project, part of the Worcester Play Plan, will create the largest and most challenging pump track in the area, giving young people a fantastic place to cycle, skate, and scoot in a safe and purpose-built environment.
The new facility follows the success of the Battenhall pump track, which local councillors — including the Liberal Democrats — strongly supported and helped move forward through cross-party collaboration. Building on that progress, the Perdiswell track represents another important step in expanding opportunities for young people across Worcester.
In a joint statement, Claines councillors Mel Allcott, Karen Holmes, and Jessie Jagger said:
“We’re thrilled to see work on the Perdiswell pump track about to begin. The success of the Battenhall track showed how much young people value these spaces, and we’ve been proud to support that progress and push for more facilities like it. This will be the biggest and most exciting pump track in the area, and we can’t wait to see local families enjoying it by the spring. We’d also like to sincerely thank the city council officers who have worked tirelessly with the community to make this project possible — their dedication and professionalism have been outstanding.”
Ground investigations will take place in early December, followed by a public consultation in mid-December. Construction will start in January and is expected to be completed by the end of March 2026, with the aim of opening in early April, ready for a full spring and summer season of use.
