SIR, I am frankly dismayed to read in the Gazette that there is to be no funding for renewal of the skateboarding equipment at Queen's Park, Windermere.
I feel that not only has the weather caused the deterioration but also its constant use by the youth of Windermere. It has provided an outdoor venue and sport facility so desperately needed by our younger generation, keeping them fit, healthy, out of doors and off the streets.
I feel that there are so few opportunities for our young people that it is vital that funding be found for this extremely popular sport.
