A group campaigning for a new skate park in Ely is applying for funding to pay for a panning pre-application.
Having given a presentation to the City of Ely Council on February 22 after gaining 2,000 signatures, RASE (Riding and Skating Ely) hope the skate park to be situated in Ely Country Park.
“But as some of you may know this was previously a landfill site,” said group members Angela Haylock.
