The District Executive gave consideration to a report concerning the Skate Park at George Street playing fields.

The current skate park had been built and opened during 2005, using funding from the New Opportunities Fair Share scheme plus OMBC Transforming Your Space funding. The facility was well used and Councillors had expressed an ambition to improve and refurbish the site, along the lines of that installed at Coalshaw Green Park last year.

The report set out aims and objectives for consideration and proposed possible next steps.

The District Executive considered that the facility could be improved, with ambition and vision, to continue to promote health and wellbeing, encourage community cohesion and help to reduce anti-social behaviour through engagement of local residents. It was acknowledged this would be a long-term project and noted that local young people would be consulted to establish their vision for the future.
