ROSSENDALE Council is considering turning a space in Rawtenstall town centre into a skate park.
Council bosses have raised the proposal for the former ‘one-stop shop’ site following its demolition early next year.
In a report, presented to the council’s cabinet, it was suggested the site could be used by skaters on a casual basis.
The report said: “Following informal discussions with young people who meet on the Town Square, there has been a proposal, via Rawtenstall Town Team, that the hard-standing and adjacent lower car park be made available for young people as an informal meeting point and skate area.”
David Gould, president of the Chamber of Commerce, has welcomed the plans.
