Some of you may already be aware but for those who haven’t been informed, Pioneer Skatepark has been issued a draft closing order which will take effect on April 23rd 2011, causing one of the best, most progressive and community-thinking skateparks in the UK to be replaced by a Youth Connexions centre with no intention of keeping the skatepark.
On October 4th, the good folk of Pioneer are asking you to show your support and to save Pioneer from the threat of closure. The local BBC will be in attendance so this is the perfect opportunity to let your voices heard and keep this wonderful skatepark.
