Requested Thu 18 April 2019
Responded  Thu 27 June 2019

1. The number of skate parks built in Hastings Borough Council in the last 20 years.

2. The number of skate parks permanently closed in Hastings Borough Council in the last 20 years.

3. The amount of money invested in skate parks each year since 1999 in Hastings Borough Council.

Response

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

1. During the last 20 years, Hastings Borough Council have updated the skate park at White Rock Gardens, removing the old wooden skate park and replacing it with a concrete structure in 2010.

2. No Hastings Borough Council owned skate parks have permanently closed during that period.

3. Annual financial records for the maintenance of the skate parks are not held for the period requested as the maintenance is included within a wider maintenance contract. However, current annual maintenance for the skate parks at White Rock Gardens and Wishing Tree is around £5400 per year.
