CCTV is now installed.

The new CCTV is now installed at the Skate park with 3 very high cameras which cover all the area which includes the SK8 park and the new BMX track. Its hoped that the vandals will now have no were to hide and if they cause trouble they will be caught on camera which means the Police will have evidence to take them to court. Lets hope this now makes the site safe for everyone. One unique feature is that the control room can talk to people they see and warn them to stop what there doing.

I work with Alistair Cook and Sue Griffiths on the proposed redevelopment of Milton park Alsager.

Next week (12th March- 26th) there will be a display in the library for the general public to consider the location and streetstyle design of the skatepark.

This will be followed up with a skate specific consultation. We are struggling to identify the young people who skate in Alsager - has anyone contacted you through your website.

Another avenue of publicity might be to reach them through the place they buy their equipment.

Do you know where the closest skate shops are?

Come on skaters lets have some action the park is for you if you don't help with the plans you will end up with something you don't want and it will be your own fault so get in contact and get your thoughts heard by the people building the park. It will be no good moaning its crap if you don't turn up and have your say.

Councillor Maurice Jones (Labour)

Deputy Mayor of Crewe and Nantwich 2006/07 has supported the park from day 1 and has been down to see for himself how the park is going so he is in a position to go back to the council and get the lights he needs emails to show there is a need for the lights and CCTV
