PRESS RELEASE
VIVE LA REVOLUTION!
Thanet’s young skaters can look forward to years of fun after a deal was signed between Revolution Skatepark and Thanet Community Development Trust to secure its future.
A twenty five year deal was brokered by Cllr Chris Wells after it was feared during the summer that the park might close. Cllr Wells said, “After many hours of individual discussion, and a number of meetings exploring every possible avenue, an agreement has been reached that everyone is happy with”.
Dan Chapman, owner of the Skatepark, expressed his delight at achieving a long term lease and greater order to the outdoor arena. The length of the lease makes investment in the park both more likely and more cost effective. Skaters can look forward to new and more exciting challenges, our future plans are very big, the sky’s the limit now – the next 5 years are about evolution as well as Revolution”. Mr Chapman would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported the Skatepark over this time.
Keith Single of Thanet Community Development Trust said, “We’re delighted to have been able to play our part in keeping a Skatepark in Thanet; Chris Wells’ help was invaluable but the youngsters are the real winners.”
Cllr Wells said, “When people stop me in Broadstairs High Street now I can finally smile and say, yes it’s secure. Revolution is staying, and I know they will smile at a job well done”.
