about the skate park thing.
you got it all wrong.
the cheese and grain park is not used by skaters because there isn't enough room for skaters and bikes, its because the park is awful, the ramps are poorly put together and designed, and the the park layout is a complete mess, just extending it would not make it better at all. you need input from skaters, not from people who just walk alongside it and chat to a few people riding bikes. frome needs a good new skate park, victoria skate park is rubbish as well. if your going to do anything skate park wise, get skater input, it needs to be designed by skaters, not the council, and as for putting an extension on the slope, HAAHAHAHA. you cant put a skate park on a bloody hill, it just doesn't work, gravity. the bikes are fine with victoria park and the cheese and grain one, but when they are swarmed with bikes and small children it makes it even harder to skate an already rubbish park.
