WINDERMERE Parish Council is to write to the police asking officers to "give more attention" to problems caused by skateboarders around the town's war memorial, following concerns raised at a previous meeting of the council.

Coun John Morphet will also put some stickers up in the area urging people not to drop litter.

"The experience of having a litter bin is that they encourage litter," said Coun Jennifer Borer.

"We have also got seats there where people take their sandwiches and chips."
