A DEBATE has raged over the future of the BMX site in Apex Park over the last few months with the issue even becoming a hot debating point in last week’s by-election.
With the town council calling for it to remain as part of the park and numerous members of the public voicing their concerns Sedgemoor District Council who own the land have been conducting a public consultation.
Sedgemoor said the consultation included three drop-in sessions at Apex Park alongside a freely available online questionnaire. In a statement they said: “A member of Sedgemoor District Council staff has since attended Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge Town Council to update Councillors and discuss the project. The Town Council have considered the matter and sent a response to Sedgemoor District Council following their Council meeting on October 5.”
The district council said the results of the consultation have now been analysed in detail, with more than 170 responses were received. A full report will go before Sedgemoor District Council’s Executive on December 9.
