Dear fellow stockers. Many of you, if not all, know the open vacant plot on the corner of Devonshire and Bideford. Its derelict, un-maintained and an open invitation for vagrants and random dumping. I have, over the last few months battled, side by side with my neighbour and cnlr Herron, with the Provincial Gvnmt who are the owners of this plot, to have it cleaned up. After much hassle, we managed to get them to clean it up. A month has passed and once again, the grass is overgrown and one finds random bags dumped there. I have drafted a petition requesting that they convert this un-used plot into a much needed skate park for the youth in the area. Daily we see kids on skateboards in the streets endagering themselves and motorists. The skate park could be used by teenagers for skating as well as younger kids with their bicycles. Perhaps a fence seperating two sections.... the plot is big enough. If you support this initiative, i will ask Faizel (Parkers se) to keep the petition at his store for a week or so in order to gather signatures at everyones convenience. Comments, thoughts, suggestions welcome...
