The skate park at Newmarket Road Recreation Ground in Royston is being transformed, and residents are invited to have their say.

North Herts Council is refurbishing the skate park with the help of landscape architects at Groundwork East.

Residents can make their views heard in the park from 3pm to 6pm on Thursday, June 8, but those who are unable to attend can complete a survey by June 23.

The council is also looking to create a 'design team' of local skate park users to help get the best results.

Anyone interested is asked to leave their contact details when filling out the survey, and you can also upload any example images of elements you would like to see included.

Cllr Steve Jarvis, executive member for environment and leisure, said that North Herts Council "particularly wants young people to get involved and have their say".

Groundwork East landscape architect Catherine Browne added: "We’d like to understand what local skaters want, and perhaps come up with a 'wish list'.

"We’ll then look to see what we can do with the budget available and tender an expert contractor to make the changes."
