A petition at change.org has been started to ask Sheffield City Council to “Support and invest in the building of a city velodrome”. In the words of the petition:
“There are many cyclists in and around Sheffield that travel to other areas to use their facilities and this is madness when we have a huge city that is crying out for this type of investment. It would support the local economy, create local jobs, bring in investment and linked with the already successful elite sporting facilities in the city be a fantastic appendage to our city. It would also support local home grown talent and we would be investing in the future of the sport and in the long term look at hosting some of the world championships and seeing some of the worlds greatest sporting talents.”
