The new concrete skate park in Sea Road will be constructed by Maverick Industries Ltd, who specialise in the design of spray concrete skate parks.

Floodlighting will be installed so that the skate park can be lit until 9pm during the winter months.

young people in the local area.”

Councillor Dr James Walsh, Chair of the Town Council’s Policy & Finance Committee, said: “The Town Council is delighted to be a partner in this project that will see another great facility added to the number of diverse attractions in
