Re: youngsters skateboarding on the path to sainsburys carpark - Sam (1st Dec 2017  22:33:41) They will absolutely be looking at talkback as every few months they launch a bitter campaign that the 40k facility that 9 of them already have isn't world standard and paved in gold as there is "nofin round here for kids" and we demand you spend x70 times more on us thsn the other 4000 kids as we are insulting them. Give us 100k otherwise your hateful and regardless of what you do we will still liberally shout obscenities to everyone near us as we are a special breed

Re: youngsters skateboarding on the path to sainsburys carpark - Jake (2nd Dec 2017  21:15:22) I think this is important factor of what is going on , But the youngsters have to consider safety for the public ? Maybe they could find another location ? It isn’t the public that are stopping the kids having a new skate park ? It is the parish councils choice ?

Re: youngsters skateboarding on the path to sainsburys carpark - Katie (2nd Dec 2017  21:55:56) I walk past these kids on an almost daily basis, with my small children, whilst being heavily pregnant and they have never been anything other than polite and very careful to make sure we could walk past safely. In contrast we nearly got run down by a man in his 20's or 30's riding a bike at speed on the same path. He shouted at me when I pointed out that it was a footpath. I'm sure the kids would rather skate at the skatepark but it's a bit tricky in the dark.

Re: youngsters skateboarding on the path to sainsburys carpark - Ian (2nd Dec 2017  22:08:38) You say "stopping" like its something that's just about to happen but its being held back and you then suggest its the parish council doing it! I think both these statements are very incorrect. The parish council although often derided on this forum is probably the only group that has put any effort into the skate park, they maintain and repair it (closed and paid for repairs just last year) and they conducted a study on the numbers etc so I wouldn't go around biting the hand that's made the existing park happen, maintains the existing park and is also the key to any new park happening. The actual things that are stopping a new skate park are; 1. The existing one is fine. Stop crying about it! Its functional, safe, maintained etc, sure its not Olympic standard but I don't think the goalposts in the rec are the same as those from Wembley and you don't hear any of kids whom play football (Many more kids than skaters) crying about goalposts or state of the pitch. 2. New park is estimated to cost 100k + This is the sort of money every other club from football, tennis etc could only dream about and or has ever spent and in doing so they have facilitated many more children than a few skaters, your extortionately expensive and quite ungrateful you even have it. 3. Not locked up. If the Tennis club didn't have a fence around it then it would get destroyed, simple logic! Pictures of the existing Skate park when it first opened showed basketball and seating area, bike park etc, all of which have been burnt or bent to the ground, charred lumps of metal are sticking up around it. You haven't looked after it so how do we know you will in future? It needs a fence, it needs to be in a location that many can see it and if possible have a CCTV camera on it.
