Just to let you know that the Skatepark was approved by the Planning Department on Wednesday 18th May.
Freestyle have been contracted to start the construction this coming Monday 23rd May and are contracted to complete at the end of July, before the Summer holidays.
As far as I can gather, the planning has approved floodlighting, so it will be a true all-year-round facility!!!
Build it and they will come!!!
Now we need to plan a big opening event for early August to put it on the map and start putting coaching programmes in place. Unfortunately, I am out of the country on a long job and need all the volunteers possible to plan these elements.
If you have the time and willingness to help organise the Opening Skate Jam or to arrange coaching programmes, please contact me as soon as possible, campaign at westealingskatepark.net !
Thanks, Piers
