Ashby skatepark has not been maintained for the last 3 years and has been vandalised several times, consequently the skatepark has become a serious health and safety issue. We feel money has been spent in other area's and the skatepark has been neglected. The skatepark is a family area with a play area next to it. This brings a lot of family's into the area during the long summer evenings, summer holidays and weekends. We feel action needs to taken and our petition needs to be looked at seriously as we are just a minority of the people that use this area that the council are providing us, however unsafe it may be

Spent a fortune on new benches in the park but wont fix the skate ramps where the kids actually play. Priorities are all wrong.

My son loves this place but lately its just broken glass and graffiti everywhere. Such a shame when it used to be a great spot.

About time. Ashby council spends all the budget on flowers and leaves the youth facilities to rot.

Seriously we have nothing else to do in this town. Just mend the rails and sweep the glass up.
