Torridge District Council has worked closely with a local steering group of wheeled sport enthusiasts to provide a bespoke new concrete wheel park for the community which will be designed and built by nationally renowned Canvas spaces Ltd. In addition to external grants of over £75,000 the Local Authority has committed £125,000 of its own funding to deliver a two phase plaza style wheel park facility which will reside upon the redundant tennis courts within the Bideford sports ground.

For the last three years Torridge District Council (TDC) have allocated the New Homes Bonus payments towards funding local projects within the community. Successful recipients of the grants this year have recieved between £1,000 and £10,000 towards their chosen projects. This now brings the total funding provided by the NHB scheme to communities within our district to just under £800,000!

This year the following were recipients within the Bideford and surrounding area.
