Looks like it could go ahead now.
Some people will not be happy.

Let's hope they've got everything spot on this time, as the objectors' high-priced legal advisors will surely be scrutinising it for more potential loopholes/delaying tactics.

Surprised to read that the leader wasn't allowed to vote because the NIMBY's lawyers had registered a complaint about him over the skatepark.
 
Looks like a dinosaur , Jurassic park , they should call it skate centre Wales
 
I remember the days when young people could go to places called "youth clubs" to keep them out of mischief - God, I must be ancient. Good luck to the skateboarders.
 
I think it's in the wrong place. One better place, imo, is adjacent to the foot golf - share the management resources, a nice café bar etc.? If the half pipe wasn't there already, no one in their right mind would propose it there.

Edit: the only reason it can't go there is because part of the funding is from mumbles CC, and has to be spent within it. The foot golf site isn't. Bonkers.
