I KNOW, as I am a regular reader of the BEN, how many letters have been in the paper about the old roller skating rink "Nevada".
As I am a 19-year-old female who has skated for the past 12 years at least, I would just like to point out how beneficial a skating rink in Bolton would be.
I believe that it would stop kids hanging around on street corners at night-time getting up to no good, and also give them something to enjoy that they can work towards.
In the past I have had to travel to Manchester and Nottingham just to learn, because there is nowhere around this area. Now I am teaching roller skating myself at Darwen Leisure Centre on Saturdays, 1-3pm. Anybody is welcome. The only problem is transport -- so please get a roller rink in Bolton!
