17-year-old Lyra Waters, who attends Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, is a double Great Britain international roller-skater.
Lyra Waters, a sixth former at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, won overwhelming backing for the skate park proposal at an online public meeting last Wednesday.
The meeting was organised by Horncastle Town Council who, as previously reported, have had to scale back their own plans for the Prospect Street site.
A wheeled sporting facility was included in the initial proposals and the council has taken over ownership of the site following an asset transfer from East Lindsey District Council.
However, problems attracting funding forced the town council into a re-think.
