Rejected petition Have the skatepark in kirriemuir, angus resurfaced/upgraded

I want action to be taken to fix something that has been left to rot nor been maintained, either resurface the flat ground area or a redesign of the park

More details

I feel it's the governments responsibility to make sure we have safe facilities to be able to exercise! Skate parks provide a place for people to socialize and learn. The park in kirriemuir being as pitted and unrideable as it is, is discouraging and dangerous for people that like skateboarding and rollerblading, A rotten smelly alley that is behind the premier in the square has been marked on Google maps as a skatepark, I feel it's a rather unsafe place for children to skate
