Last night at Full Council the community that are Chesterfield Skaters took their request for improvements and repairs to the Town Hall.
Leading the skaters was Jeorge Sheppard who had put together a petition for the lighting, a bench, and repairs. Also to try and resolve the ongoing issues after the company that owned the land went bust.
Cllr Ed Fordham said “the skater community were just brilliant and led by example with reasoned and fair points. I have been going down regularly to speak and listen to the community.
“Last night I was delighted to meet Jeorge, Eddie and the team - welcome them to the Town Hall and ensure that they were heard. And it was especially good to hear that the land issues have been resolved and the money for the repairs made available.”
It’s good news for Chesterfield and good for skating and good for young people.
