Skate park will be built this year

05 June 2008

The city's long-awaited new skate park will be built this year, the leader of Norwich City Council has pledged, after critics questioned what progress was being made.

Can you please note and prioritise in your diaries that the next community engagement meeting with the public regarding the Proposed Skatepark - Saughton Park, will take place at Carrickvale Community Education Centre Wednesday 25 June 2008 . We have arranged for a full consultation event and meeting to take place. From 2:00 - 5:00pm there will be an open/drop-in session with a staffed exhibition and from 7:00 - 9:00pm there will be an open meeting with the stakeholders and public chaired by Councillor Deidre Brock. Councillor Nick Elliott-Cannon will also be attending the meeting but slightly later due to his surgery commitments that evening.

Thanks,
