§ 78. Mr. Liptonasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what action he has taken to support local authorities in the provision of skateboard rinks in suitable open spaces so that skateboarding will not take place on pavements to the risk of pedestrians.
§ Mr. Denis HowellI welcome the efforts which many local authorities are making to accommodate this growing sport. The Sports Council has issued to local authorities preliminary guidance on the design and management of facilities, which are eligible for grant aid in the same way as are facilities for other sports.
