Skaters near to Liverpool have woke to the amazing news that Rampworx have been given a green light to build the biggest skatepark in the UK at a cost of £6m. The brand new site that will be built in Bidston won planning permission at Wallasey town hall last night after months of proposals for the new 5,600 sq m complex that will be built on the former Birkenhead Docks Sports and Social Centre.

The new Rampworx Youth Village Wirral development will also have a climbing wall, workshop and office space, cafe, business start-up units and more, but just imagine what the skatepark will be like with this sort of investment? Well done to all involved.
