The town of Cleethorpes is known for its tranquil parks and beautiful gardens, providing a serene environment for both tourists and locals, especially the elderly who frequent the area. However, there is a plan to develop a new skate park between Sea View, Alexander Road, and Pier Gardens as part of a larger excavation revamp. This presents a significant health and safety risk.

Imagine a peaceful day in the park, with families, elderly individuals, and tourists taking leisurely strolls along the footways of Pier Gardens. Now, picture the chaos that could ensue with skateboarders speeding by, potentially out of control. The risk of accidents and collisions will increase exponentially, putting pedestrians at risk of serious injury. The current plan does not provide any assurance that skateboarders will remain within their designated areas, leading to a real danger for those enjoying the vicinity.

Moreover, the noise pollution from skateboarding activities could disrupt the otherwise quiet and relaxing atmosphere that people cherish. Living in harmony should be a priority, and integrating such a dynamic and, frankly, noisy facility into this peaceful locale is not fitting, nor is it reflective of the desires of the community.

There are alternative solutions that need to be explored. Possibly relocating the skate park to a less pedestrian-congested area in Cleethorpes could be a win-win solution, allowing skateboarders their space without compromising the safety and comfort of the park's regular visitors. Collaborative planning with community involvement is crucial to ensure the town's beautification aligns with the needs and safety of all its residents.

If you value the safety, peace, and harmony of our beloved Cleethorpes parks, please take a stand against the construction of this skate park in its current proposed location. Sign this petition to urge the local council to rethink the skate park's location, prioritizing the health, well-being, and enjoyment of all park users.
