MY associates and I are delighted to read that attention is being paid to the skateboarding community within Bolton.
In fact, I was especially pleased to read that the "young people of Bolton" are responsible for organising a petition, which may improve the quality of life for people within the skating community.
Being a young citizen of Bolton I am encouraged by the amount of media attention this subject is bringing.
I am also aware that groups, such as Bolton Lads and Girls Club, are responsible for managing a vast range of sports especially for younger members of Bolton.
However, it is evident, that such groups do not accommodate certain social groups. This is why I believe that the work the lads are doing - especially Sam Caldwell - is imperative for the progression of Bolton from town status to city status.
It is for these reasons that a skate park must be created to accommodate a fraction of the population of Bolton!
