Fair point. The Township Forum seems to be very bad at communicating with the public. I understand that there has been progress with the skatepark, but when I recently emailed a council employee involved in the project for information, I never got a reply.

Part of the problem is that some local councillors and residents continue to be opposed to the skatepark. Also, although young people have been involved with activities at Jubilee Park, they no longer seem to have a pressure group to move things forward.

If any skateboarder wishes to know more about progress with the skatepark then I suggest they email Councillor Nigel Ash (nigelash@blueyonder.co.uk) who is in a position to find out what is happening.
