Melton Times letter: Lit Skate Park would encourage anti-social behaviour
During the extensive consultation with users when the skate park was built it was the young people themselves who didn’t want it to be a target for anti-social behaviour and be a site that younger children would be afraid to visit.
I’m quite sure that parents would rather know that their children were safe rather than being in danger skating at night in a rather secluded area of the park.

It would be a matter for the Town Estate to decide if they wish to provide a concrete path, however, we can work with them to look at a possible solution.
