Stamford Skate Park Closed
For the safety of users
Following serious health and safety concerns, which were highlighted in a report received Thursday 1st May, South Kesteven District Council have taken the decision to close Stamford Skate Park at Recreation Road and remove the equipment.
An SKDC approved contractor was on site Friday morning to remove the equipment, make good any holes and to leave the site in a safe condition. Any equipment that can be economically repaired will be stored for the time being.
We will continue to work in partnership with local groups and residents in relation to the site.
On Friday 18 April, SKDC’s chief executive Duncan Kerr started his bike ride
round Europe, which will take him through 15 countries, including France, Italy
and many of the Baltic countries. He will cover approximately 10,000 kilometres
and is expected back mid to late September 2008.

There is now greater emphasis on involving the public than there had been with the LAAs, this is in reponse to public demand and operational experience. Local forum meetings will generally commence at 7.00pm and be limited to two hours wherever possible, although the chairman will have discretion to extend the meeting if necessary. There will be presentations but these will be limited to a maximum of three per meeting, preferably two, on topics relevant to the area. Thre will be a question and answer session after each presentation.
All meetings commence at 7:00 pm.
