TwoBobRob:
With no plans to replace it?

Biggeorge:
the council claim that they will replace it, and are willing to listen to the user group for the location and design.
time will tell if they are true to their word.

Cool. Thats a bigger step than it may at first sound.  See if you can find out if that statement was recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

Then be sure that the user group is properly organised, as diverse as it can be  (you've got to get all those annoying kids on rollerblades, microscooters, heelies, whatever AND their parents involved), and has a good personality as a spokesman.  I know it sounds like crap, but it needs to be someone who the council will identify with.  Not to be judged on riding/skating ability   ;)

Start collecting info on all the other council parks round the country.  Park builders will help with this, they all have portfolios.  There is a fair amount of jealousy between local authorities and this can be used to your advantage.....

Good luck   :)
