Skaters use the wax to make curbs and railings smoother so wood and metal can slide easily against it.

This makes it perfect for grinding against, but it can also be a safety threat to people walking along the street.

Threat to elderly

The council are particularly worried about elderly people, because they've had several complaints from the public and a couple of injuries reported.

Although the council aren't trying to stop skaters skating and no ones been fined yet they are warning they'll come down hard on curb waxers.
