Skate Park Opened

Representatives from all levels of local government were on hand today to witness the reopening on the renovated Tenbury skate park.

The money for the park was awarded to Tenbury following the design, presentation, and application by a group of local youngsters. In fact they (and the adult helpers) have done such a good job in managing the project they have now received a small amount of additional funding to do even more work.
No not a prop' from Star Wars but one of the new ramps.

There has been some opposition to the amount of money being spent on the skate park, but as with so many grants these days they are target specific and the money can only be spent on what it has been allocated for.

As this area will be a magnet for youth, additional waste bins have been ordered to try to help keep the Palmer's litter free. The existing small bins have not been emptied recently due to an employment dispute.
