FOLLOWING your item on the skateboarding site, can we appeal urgently to your readers to respond to the opinion poll in the current issue of the Devizes Town Council's Messenger newsletter.
As you correctly reported, the majority opinion is that the skateboard park would be a most inappropriate use of The Green, but our town council needs the support of a resounding no vote, by returning the forms displayed in the Messenger.
This is because the Tribe consultants have misconceived their brief, as we predicted in an earlier letter, and have picked on The Green as a convenient piece of open land.
They have ignored the historical and environmental value of The Green, and have failed to consider the greater practical advantages of sites like the sports centre
Our town council needs the votes of Devizes townsfolk on this, so please can your readers get responses back to the town hall as soon as possible.
