Young people in Brighouse will benefit from new skate park facilities if plans for a new wheel park are approved by Calderdale Council’s Cabinet.

Today, the cabinet will consider proposals regarding the upkeep and refurbishment of Wellholme Park skate park.

Members will discuss plans that could see 25-year leases being granted to Build a Better Brighouse (3Bs) who would be able to seek grant funding for the project.

The wheels park in Wellholme was the first skate park in the borough and consultation is being carried out to decide whether a new facility should be built on the existing site or moved to a new area across the brook.
