The skatepark produced some interesting debate at last night's PC surgery. There is one thing for certain.
Whatever decision the PC comes to about its location, there will be people opposed to it. And even if we decide not to build one there will be opposition. So don't go on the PC and expect to be loved by everyone.
The arguments and locations are well known - old tennis courts (opposition from casual footballers and some residents) Millennium Park (opposition from planners, it is understood, because it is on the edge of the village) and elsewhere in the Rec (former village meeting in 1990s said no more hard standing in the rec but this is not legally binding.)
Two potential users came along. They use Wootton skatepark at the moment so Millennium Park would surely be an improvement. So we need to make a decision, explain it to those who are not happy and then implement it.
