How sad that certain councillors have refused a skateboard park at Cowley Marsh, Oxford (Oxford Mail, April 8).
A skateboard park existed for years in Meadow Lane in my ward and provided thousands of hours of innocent fun and exercise for young people.
I never received one complaint from local residents and neither did councillor Elise Benjamin, who has represented the area for many years. If we are to overcome vandalism and respond to young people's cries that there is nothing for them to do, a skateboard park is a worthwhile investment.
