Skateboarding in the UK has grown massively. It is even being considered for future Olympic status. We believe that Knutsford, which has a vibrant skating and BMXing community, should its very own skate park where we can safely practice our tricks and socialise in a safe and supportive atmosphere. We have formed a group of skaters of all ages, and have been consulting with the local community about designs, and imaginative ways to raise funds for the park!

What we'll deliver:

• We will provide Knutsford with a quality skate park which will help enhance the local economy.

Why it's a great idea:

It is a fantastic idea as it has captured the imagination of everyone in the town, the local council and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne. We have even got a supportive personal letter of support from legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk.

Steps to get it done:

• Through fundraising and lots of. We already have the designs and the consultation complete.

It is important to acknowledge also that a quality skate park for Knutsford is one of the recommendations of the Knutsford Town Plan, which has the backing of the majority of people in the town.
