On Saturday 12 September 2015, local MP Alberto Costa attended the launch of Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX Club’s new BMX racing track at the Pavilion Sports Centre in Huncote.
Mr Costa said “I understand that the Club secured a £50,000 grant through the National Lottery from Sport England Inspired Facilities fund. Further funding was secured from Blaby District Council, Huncote Parish Council, Thomas Cook Children's Charity, Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport (LRS), BikeClub and in-kind material donations from Aggregate Industries. The funding has allowed the Club to build a new 8-lane national standard BMX track thus allowing the club to further develop young people and their skills. I wish the club every success with this venture.”
