Atherton's skate park was used by many people. For Wigan Council to take it away without prior warning and without speaking to local people is wrong - it has left many people wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that they want to bulldoze over neighbouring fields for houses and that the skate park was just in the way.
Atherton residents have had enough taken off them with which is why I’m supporting the campaign to keep a free skate park in the town.
James Higgins is running a petition which I would be grateful if you could support:
