Skate Park Consultation Results

Hello,

Following the consultation event a few Sundays ago, Fylde borough staff have been collating the results. Top among them was a desire to see more challenging equipment for older children, a skate park and a multi use games area.

With the recent Lottery Fund announcement to put a multi use games area at Barnfield in Kirkham, we've decided not to double up just yet on the same equipment in so closer an area.

We also feel that a skate park is more challenge equipment for older children, so the consensus is towards the skate park. The Town Council is still principally in favour and the consultation cast no doubt upon that support. So it looks like we'll have a skate park in Wesham by April.

Council staff will be working on a design next week to show the Town Council and get final approval. The purchase order should be raised in late Jan and work starting in March.

I really do think this is excellent news for Wesham and the whole of rural Fylde, it will give give us a facility that we can be proud of.

Regards,

Simon
