The new skate park for Morley is back on track following a recent meeting to discuss the financing of the improvement programme. The cash is now sorted and the final plan is out for some minor tweaking by the young people who initiated the proposal and whose ideas are being accommodated in this plan.
It has been a hard slog to bring the finance together - especially in this difficult financial climate - and many people have been sceptical that this plan could be delivered. But the plan is to be implemented later this year - weather permitting - with the new skate park available next Spring. The support (and patience) of young people and other residents has been much appreciated and the whole process with community involvement has been a positive one with the final plan much improved through their input.
It has been suggested that I give it a crack myself on a skate board when it is completed but opponents may be disappointed that I have no intention of breaking my neck just yet!
Here's to happy skating in the future!
