Skateboard latest

The prospect of a superb Skatepark/BMX facility for Driffield youngsters slowly draws a little nearer.

The outcome of a recent meeting attended by the Sk8park organizers, Driffield School Head, ERYC officers from Sports Development and Leisure Policy along with Cllr Temple and Cllr Fraser (chair) was a very positive "Yes" that the Sports Centre site was the right place to put the park.

Cllr Temple commented after the meeting "There are many hoops to jump through yet but the most encouraging thing is that all parties really want this scheme to happen and we are all working together to achieve the same end product." She added, "It will not be a quick fix scheme, but we are determined to keep this project alive and moving forward."

The work will continue towards a triple goal of a Sk8/BMX park for sport enthusiasts, a more secure site for Driffield School and safer traffic management for pupils and local residents alike.
