THE suggestion to site a skatepark for youngsters on land in Queens Park sounds like a good one.

Jerry Glover, from the Bolton Lads and Girls Club, has apparently offered to help but not interfere, which is typically sensible of this club leader.

This would not only help hundreds of youngsters have somewhere to enjoy their sport, but might improve the reputation of the park, which is not as family-friendly these days as it once was.

Brownie points are here waiting to be earned by the councillors who champion this cause, and finally get something done about it.
