I'm sorry but I know that a lot of people are concerned that the skate park would be anti-social or attract 'yobs' as us teenagers are referred to nowadays, but the fact is that what would you rather, a place where kids and teenagers can meet up to learn and practice their hobbies or would you rather them skating all over the streets and making noises outside your house.The teenagers around here have no where to go to do this unless we are expected to walk a decent 2 miles everyday to the nearest skate park which would be Buckley, a lot of villages around here have a skate park already and a lot of people love it.
I see that we have a football cage and basketball court for everyone to play on but what about the teenagers who bmx or skateboard or kids who scooter? why shouldn't we have a place to be able to go and have some fun instead of getting shouted at by making too much noise on the streets? I think a skate park in the village would be a fantastic idea and many people would enjoy it as it would be a great social place for everyone to meet up and practice doing what they enjoy.
Also the skate park could easily be fitted onto the Millstone park land, or even the actual millstone garden which is currently not being used at all. As it is no where near houses, and if some people are concerned that the noise will continue late at night, just make sure that the skate park would not have floodlights in so when it goes dark the skate park wont be used so no noise would be made after dark.

One wonders what's happening to all the money given to the village to allow developers to build over 300 houses in the village? For those that do not know developers have to pay money to Flintshire County Council to get planning permission. The money then goes towards local projects.
ReplyDeleteThey are called 106 agreements.
The vast majority of it went to Castell Alyn - our primary schools got zilch
ReplyDeleteYes but a proportion goes to projects within Penyffordd Ward.
ReplyDeleteWell the skate park is finally finished, I was quite pleased when I heard that it was being constructed - good for the kids like mentioned.
ReplyDeleteIt's only been a few hours and it's already driving me around the bend! The park has been made out of cheap and flimsy hollow material which resonates every time the board lands on it. It should be concrete!
It's 11pm now and the noise is clearly audible in my house, like someone hammering outside my window - I have to be up at 5am for work too. Awesome. Great work penyffordd council, why wasn't a good quality one specced? At least make it out of stronger material and fill the hollow gap inside to ramps with sound deadening!
i'll be putting in a complaint to Flintshire council about the noise, it's too much
