Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57999

Received: 12/12/2021

Respondent: Jo Humphrey

Representation Summary:

I'm pleased to see skateparks mentioned here.

Too many skateparks in Cambridge are unsuitable for skaters' needs already - e.g. due to a lack of concern for wet-weather conditions, or being too small in size to be safe to use).
