Protests at Malton and Norton skatepark
Campaigners are urging local councillors to allow renovations of the facility to continue.
Last updated 24th Aug 2021
Protests have taken place by the Malton and Norton skatepark - and Norton Town Council - as uncertainty continues over the future of the facility.
Campaigners gathered last night (Monday 23rd August) as part of efforts to reopen the closed-off park and to continue renovations which started back in June.
Last week on Wednesday 18th August a planned meeting between members of the campaign and Norton on Derwent Council was cancelled by councillors.
A petition was also set up back in July as part of plans to rescue the refurbishment plans - which have been backed by Olympian Sky Brown and US pro skater Tony Hawk.
We've contacted Norton Town Council for a statement.
