The planned official opening of Drylaw Skate Park, due to take place this Saturday, has been cancelled because of the continuing bad weather.
Drylaw Telford Community Council chairman Alex Dale explained: “This is due to underfoot conditions at the park and a not too favourable weather forecast for Saturday, so we decided to cancel and reschedule the opening event to a time next year where conditions will be friendly for the opening. The weather has also forced the contractor to delay landscaping around the skatepark – this will now happen in Spring when conditions are more favourable.”
