Decision on skate park future due

The future of a skateboard park in Swindon was due to be decided by the borough council on Wednesday evening.

The facility, which is in an overflow car park near the Oasis leisure centre, was set up to attract youths away from skating in public areas.

However, the park has been attracting too many visitors and now faces being shifted to a quieter part of the area.

The park opened five weeks ago on a trial basis.
