The project will revive and empower a local community that has high levels of anti-social behaviour, low income families, poor health and wellbeing and low motivation to improve their health and physical activity levels for improved quality of life. The outcome of this Tender will be to identify and select one (1) Contractor to take the Project forward from consultation to a final design and a completed and installed concrete skatepark, replacing/removing what already exists, to suit the needs of the local young people whilst taking into account a range of ages, abilities and wheels, e.g. scooters, skateboards and BMX.
