Rotorua s roller-skating community has penned an open letter to the council to stop using a type of path material that members say makes skating parks unsafe and impractical.
Layla Robinson, co-founder of Rotorua s roller derby league, the Sulphur City Steam Rollers, said she and other skaters are frustrated about the poor quality of the design of some recreational spaces in the district which are totally impractical for roller skaters.
