Hi Adele,
To answer your questions as best I can, and then it is only my opinion.
I don't doubt that BTT and the rest of the skateboarers would like "a bigger offering". It is a matter of position. As the estate agents say "It's all about Location, Location and Location."

The fact that there is opposition to the Jubilee park site is because it is near a centre of population. By the same token access is nearer for users.


Your second and third point re CAP and Labour, the solution is quite simple, don't vote for either, Orrell and Swinley seem happy with an alternative!!

As regards the objections from local residents. To use that horrible phrase that is so over used, "I can see where you are coming from but" In this case the but is,I do not think a skateboard park will increase anti social behaviour, trying to kill your self on a piece of wood and four wheels hardly gives you time. The site will be on public view and easier to "police/monitor".

I hope I am not patronising the younger people. But when one reaches my age (59) waiting isn't as hard. To the young people it just seems promises and commities. I am sure they have reached the stage when they think the first time they use these facilities will be taking their own teenage offspring ... (I nearly typed teenage children then , that was close).

As for your penultimate paragraph, if people had not "dug in" so early I believe my suggestion regarding of an independently chaired meeting may have brought results. Who knows it may not be too late.

Regarding your last paragraph, the only way anyone will get me on a skateboard is if they use one to move my coffin!!

Best regards
Alan

Rampworx does teaching sessions on Saturday mornings sometimes. Check the website www.rampworx.com. I hope you have fun taking your child to Liverpool, but once the park is opened im sure some of the skaters will help him out. As for the track at three sisters yes it was always popular. Regards to your comments on getting the park in Bryn i must admit its a bit farfetched as most of the users are in Ashton and it is only down the road anyway. Lets stop this 'what about here, or here, or here etc' because its getting old really quick. Jubilee park is a superb location and is perfect! End of.

All of this stuff about grammar, its a bit pointless really isnt it? lol being 'da youf' im free to say its not really that important as long as you get your point across.

Alans comments always seem to be spot on aswell as Nicks. Dont be afraid to say what you think, after all talk is cheap anyway :) we want actions and results!

Hello again.

in response to Davids posting ...

I am fully aware of the tit-for-tat between your self and certain councillors, my posting was to state that NOT all of them are the same and I stand by that. I agree with Alan there has been too many insults hurled about and is not endearing to anybody who reads these web sites.

I'm aware of who they may be and make no apologies on their behalf - they are big enough and ugly enough to that themselves! Name calling is not a game I have taken part in, to be honest too much of it goes on and, I too, am tiring of it. I (as far as I am aware) have had no reason to fall out with you David as I had respect for your input during the Enviro' Sub-group meetings you attended.

My question of Caps Lane rejection was simply a question of curiosity and not a critical remark. I was present at the meeting where you gave Cap's Lane as a suggestion.

I do not wish to become embroiled in any 'political back-biting' after my experience last year, life is too short!

I would like to see something gr8 happen to Ashton and Bryn - biased I know; but we do loose out a lot to you guys (Ashton I mean!)

Sadly in todays environment, anything that we do, we will always be accused of being political. I have even been accused of being Militant! I would disagree, but I strongly believe in fighting my own corner. ;-)

Adele -

If the CAP fits, wear it.

Hi Adele,
In Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches and maybe others, prior to partaking of the Eucharist The Peace is exchanged.

Peace Be With You

And May God Bless You

Surely if CAP Councillors in Ashton feel only people born in Ashton can properly represent Ashton they must feel the same about neighbouring wards,including Golborne?
