Poynton latest.... Looking good

Most of the works look pretty much finished at Deva now. The grass
needs to bed in and grow but the concreting looks all finished. Here's
the "skate" path....

Hi,

Just wondered whether this was the project funded through the Groundwork UK & Big Lottery Fund Community Spaces programme?

It really is looking good - well done! We have set up a Community Spaces blog and it would be great to link this project in and keep getting updates from yourselves. You can find us at: http://blog.community-spaces.org.uk

We also have a Community Spaces fund Flickr group set up - it'd be great if you could share pictures of your project on there see: www.flickr.com/groups/communityspaces

Thanks.

I do believe the group in Poynton that fundraised this did get money from the community spaces fund. So thank you!

MSPG played a roll here mainly in lobbying for a spray concrete facility. We also imputed on the design before it went to parish committee.

I think we can agree that extensive consultation with experienced riders really does work in giving the community a valuable facility. Everyone is stoked about the park, which manages to pretty much find a balance between BMX, inline and skate use. Which in such a small facility is very difficult to achieve!
