The Summerseat track is getting a major upgrade thanks to the Summerseat Village Collective, with support from Bury Council and Proffitts – Investing in Communities.
A spokesperson from the Dirt Factory team said: “We’re thrilled to be working with the community to improve the Summerseat pump track.
“Planned work involves reshaping the existing mounds and berms, resurfacing, and adding some signage too.
“We know that by having fun on a bike, everyone can improve their skills, health, well-being, and confidence.
“We can’t wait for people to be able to enjoy this space again, and if anyone is interested in giving biking a go, then this will be a great place to start.”

Emma Speed from the Summerseat Village Collective said: “The renovation of the track is part of a much wider project taking place over several years to improve Summerseat Island and make it more accessible and interesting for visitors.
“We want the site to be a great place for fun and activities, but also a haven for nature and wildlife that everyone can enjoy.”
Contractors are expected on site from the beginning of September for 6-8 weeks – weather permitting.
