Land lease agreed for Brackley skate park

18 July 2023

Brackley Town Council (BTC) has taken a step closer to delivering its planned skate park after agreement was reached for a lease to be progressed for the land required

West Northamptonshire Council’s (WNC) Cabinet met on Tuesday (11 July) to discuss the matter and agreed that negotiations over terms of the lease could be progressed.

Plans for the facility were approved in April this year and full details are available on the planning pages of WNC’s website.

Brackley Town Council are looking forward to developing this long awaited facility.

With a few more steps closer, we hope that we can move forward to the next stage very soon.Brackley Town Clerk, Alison Moses

The facility would be constructed on land to the west of Brackley Leisure Centre, in Candleford Close.

Granting Brackley Town Council a lease on this land will enable it to bring forward a range of community facilities.

I have no doubt that young people can’t wait for the development to be brought forward, and it’s a fantastic looking design with a range of elements to help blend it into the landscape.

It will also complement other nearby facilities like Brackley Leisure Centre and recreation ground, which is home to Brackley Athletic Football Club.Cllr Malcolm Longley, WNC Cabinet Member for Finance
