A company has backed a project to build an Olympic-standard skatepark in Wiltshire.
PENTA, a firm known for creating electrical safety solutions, is supporting the Corsham Skatepark Project, which seeks to build a modern concrete skatepark.
The new facility will replace the current park, which has served the community for over two decades but is now in urgent need of renovation.
The Corsham Skatepark Project is a community-led initiative composed of skateboarders, BMX riders, quad skaters, and scooter enthusiasts of all ages.
Working in collaboration with the local council, their mission is to create an inclusive and modern sports area that will benefit the entire community in Corsham and the surrounding area.

The project aims to raise approximately £350,000 to £400,000, with current efforts focused on local fundraising.
PENTA is contributing by partnering with local skateboard manufacturer Burts’ Boards to design and produce a limited-edition series of skateboard decks with exclusive promotional graphics.
Tom ‘Chewie’ Burton, a renowned skateboard manufacturer, has created a special collection, with each design available in a limited run of two decks.
PENTA has assembled these boards into complete skateboards, ready for their new owners to ride.
The twin deck graphics have been shared with PENTA's sister companies, which have also donated funds.
As a result, donated boards are now displayed in offices as far afield as France and South Africa, with more expected to follow.
Residents in Corsham can look forward to upcoming opportunities to win one of these unique boards through raffles, skate jams, competitions, and other fundraising events.
The Corsham Skatepark Project also welcomes donations from anyone wanting to contribute to this exciting vision.
A spokesperson for PENTA said: "PENTA recognises the value of this initiative in promoting physical activity, inclusivity, and community engagement."
