The council confirmed today that the floodlights are finally happening. I spent a long time wondering if they would ever listen to us but they finally gave in. It feels surreal to know we will actually be able to skate safely once the sun goes down.

Saltmill skatepark is a place where we can progress to better things and increase our ability. In the winter it goes very dark, very early therefore limiting our time and it becomes a danger as we can not see. Putting some flood lights at the skatepark will then create a safer environment for us and allow us to advance our abilities within the skatepark.
This has been an ongoing problem that we would like to overcome and finally make a change!
Please support us make our community a brighter place.

Seeing this much backing for the park has kept me going through some long and frustrating weeks. It is tiring to constantly push for basic safety, but knowing I am not the only one who sees this need makes the fight feel worth it.

will be so much better if it had lights! when it starts to get dark down there it gets a bit dangerous because you can’t see anything

I think it's a brilliant idea . Helps the police on under age drinking down the park .

It's a great idea and would make it much safer for kids to ride scooter, bikes, skateboars ect. In mild winters

We should encourage healthy outdoor activity at all times, why do these kids have to petition for light?

I think this is a really good idea and would significantly lower the chances of getting hurt during late days.
