London, one of the biggest cities in the world and the capital of England, doesn't have an indoor skatepark. Bay66, the closest thing to an indoor skatepark is not fully covered and at times isn't skateable when the weather turns bad. Camden borough, the home of Cantelowes skatepark has seen a massive increase in the skateboarding scene and has provided local youth as well as adults a good facility to use which has shown positive effects within the local community. However, this facility definitely cannot be used when the weather turns bad and Camden's skateboarders have nowhere to go. Something needs to be done about this.
The local council cannot ignore this momentum anymore while our kids are left out in the pouring rain. We are forcing their hand and they will finally have to answer for neglecting our skating community.

A free indoor park with some kind of toilet facilities would be great for the skate community and to get more new skaters out of their homes and into the sport.

This is very much needed as and indoor skate park would allow people to skate everyday besides the weather plus also safety during night. Most skate parks in the UK have no lighting which means people using these parks would have to leave or stay in the dark where it could be unsafe. A indoor park would grant that security. Some people who skate work late and can only make it to the parks during later hours. Also cantelows skate park get closed once it dark.

Living in london means you basically lose half the year to rain. getting a roof over our heads would mean so much for us who actually skate every single day.
