PLANS for a new pump track could see it move to a new location in Burntwood.

Campaigners have been trying to get the facility built at Chasewater as part of a high-profile campaign.

But a report to a meeting of Lichfield District Council's cabinet said an alternative site could now be used.

The report said:

> "In March, cabinet approved an 'in principle' allocation of Community Infrastructure Levy funding to Burntwood Town Council for the delivery of a pump track at Chasewater, subject to confirmation of a suitable site and land ownership.  
>  
> "Discussions with Staffordshire County Council have confirmed that delivery at Chasewater is not feasible within the agreed timescales.  
>  
> "Alternative sites were therefore explored with Burntwood Town Council, and one has been identified at Redwood Park, which is owned by Lichfield District Council.  
>  
> "Work is now progressing to secure a lease arrangement to enable the project to proceed at this location."

The report also recommends funding deadlines for the scheme be extended.

> "To enable delivery at the alternative site, it is recommended that the existing 'in principle' allocation be extended by six months to March 2027.  
>  
> "This will allow time for site investigations, agreement of heads of terms, public open space consultation and completion of the necessary legal and governance processes.  
>  
> "The project remains on track to be delivered within three years of award by March 2029."

The proposal will be discussed by Lichfield District Council's cabinet at a meeting on 13th July.
