Skatepark cost backed by council cash

BRAMLEY Parish Council’s £15,000 skatepark renovation has been backed with £3,000 from RMBC ward members.

The popular hangout on Flash Lane has been used for ten years and is now in need of a revamp.

Cllr Lewis Mills, Bramley & Ravenfield ward member for Rotherham Council, said: “With the project costing over £15,000, we are more than happy to make our contribution to this much-loved community asset.”

Ward colleague Cllr Greg Reynolds added: “Improving the environment and enhancing community facilities is one of our ward priorities.

“We are pleased to be able to support the refurbishment of the skate park, which is popular amongst young people in the area.”
