REALLY , REALLY IMPORTANT!
The Oxford Wheels Project has submitted an application
for planning permssion to
build a skatepark on Cowley Marsh and we need as much
support a possible from the public to help us make this
happen.
The application is being dealt with as you read this. In
April it will reach the council committee who will decide
wether or not we get a skatepark and every email of support
or opposition will be included. The more emails and letter
of support - the better. Please help by sending an email to
the council!
The planning application is available for viewing online here
We need you to either email or
write to the Planning Department address on the right and
state your support for the proposals. Every email and
letter helps!
In your email you will need to put in the subject "Cowley
Marsh Skatepark" and please remember to put your house
address in the email.
Your letter of support could look something like this:
Subject : Cowley Marsh Skate Park
Dear Planning,
I support the skatepark proposals for Cowley Marsh because young people need a safe place to ride and it's a healthy and active sport. Cowley Marsh is easy for kids to get on the bus, it's a good location and would be very well used. Please support the skatepark proposals.
(Mrs Kate Boarder, 900 Cowley road)
