This is the blurb for the petition:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Remove the Byelaws which ban skateboarding in Manchester’s City Centre.

The Byelaws, introduced in 2001, prohibit skateboarding in Manchester’s City Centre and criminalizes young people who, by skateboarding, are doing something physically active, socially engaging, constructive and creative.

The Government want to reduce obesity, increase social inclusion, encourage “play” activities among young people and reduce youth offending rates. The Byelaws oppose all of these aims.

The Government won’t respond to a pettion with less than 200 signatories. So let’s get on it and make this petition huge. It depends on you telling everyone about it, so start emailing everyone this link: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/SkateMCR/
