TO POTTERS BAR SKATERS AND BMXERS:
Dear All,
This is to update you on the extension of the Furzefield skatepark. The project has been delayed due to additional works that have been required such as fencing, lighting and CCTV which will provide a better facility.
From discussions with the skatepark firm, Bendcrete, we have decided to delay the project until the New Year. This is because Bendcrete aren't available now until late November and construction firms close down over the Christmas period. We didn't think it a good idea to start the project and run into the risk of delays which would leave the site unfinished and unoccupied during school holidays.
The bowl feature should take approximately one month to complete but this will depend on the weather. Currently, we are aiming for mid-January 2009 once the school holidays have finished, but I will let you know more details nearer the time.
On the positive side, the new flood lighting should be working next month which will extend the usage of the park.
We thought we would hold an event during the Easter holidays with competitions, etc. More details will follow nearer the time.
Thanks for your patience and apologies for the delay.
With kind regards,
Fiona Leadley
Landscape Design Officer
