Done :daumenhoch: used to visit Southbank as a kid :)
But I guess it's a prime location for someone to build another office block or bar ::) as if there aren't enough already ::)

Yep unfortunately its the way it is :'(
The amount of "green belt" land that gets snaffled up by developers is shocking :tickedoff:

Listened to both sides on radio 5 a few months ago, was a good listen, they are building a skatepark 100m down the road about 3 times the size

Okay that makes it a bit better :) Sounthbank was never meant to be a skatepark but was adapted as one, there used to be a lot of other slightly smaller ramps when I was there in the 70s & 80s just across from the ones that remain, but they got either built on or blocked off. Southbank was good if it was wet as it was mostly covered.
Would be a shame to see it go, but a new skate park might be better to ride.
