Skaters down in Broadstairs and Ramsgate will be receiving two new concrete parks following petitions from locals after the bulldozing of their DIY spot in the area this year.

Margate will also have a park designed and allocated once these two are up and running. Work will get underway immediately on both parks with a scheduled completion before Christmas, weather permitting.
