Bob,
which local paper did you see it in?  As TWOBOBROB suggested, it'd be good to get behind this from the start!

Gruf:
Just been checking out the web,  seems that a skatepark has been in the pipeline since before Oct 2003.  There's been consultations and stuff with local skaters inconjunction with the shop in Lowfield Street - Border Zone.  Good things are under way, but shame it wasn't or hasn't been publicised a bit more so some local BMXer's could've got involved, unless any of you out there already have?  If so update us! (unless of course as usual I've been going around with my eye's closed!)

So any one else out there know anymore?

Jamie C:
Yeah myself and Kev Garwood sat down with one of the councillors a few weeks back.  Initially things didn't do too well as (just as the paper says) they wanted to build an outdoor park that wouldn't be up to much.  Anyhow, it turns out that they had a really good site about 1 mile out of Dartford that is undercover.  The local skaters dismissed the site saying it was too far out. We think they're mad.

We submitted an alternative proposal for the undercover sight with ramps built by Kev, Aaron Bostrom, Nate Wessell etc.  Gary Ream at Woodward and the other Councils in the area that Kev built ramps for provided references and the whole thing looked really good.  Hopefully with BMX being in the Olympics and all that it'll mean that they don't go with the current plans.  We've seen the site they want to use and it wont be up to much whereas our proposal would probably be the best park in the UK.

We're waiting to hear from them.  All support gratefully received.
