Stop introduction of fines for skateboarders in Southampton Cultural Quarters

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Southampton City Council are looking to create fines for those skating in the Southampton Cultural Quarters stating "It doesn't create the right image for the area." Because it cost them 50 million to build.

The youth and young adults skate there and cause no harm, let them enjoy it!

The Daily Echo report on SCC's agenda in the following link:

Many have already opposed the idea of fines. Tax payers paid for the changes so let the people of Southampton decide. Hoglands park skate park is not safe, it is dark and not roamed by community police. We want young people to have things to do in our city and not be pushed to boredom and restricted
