Kings Park Ice Rink Consultation

Bournemouth residents are being invited to share their views on whether the borough needs a permanent ice skating facility.

For some time now there have been public calls for a permanent ice rink in the town and over the last two years Bournemouth Borough Council has been investigating the possibility of providing a new purpose built facility. After looking carefully across the borough, Kings Park has now been identified as a potential site for the complex.

I think this could be fabulous for our area and will be supporting it - there is more information here

I would be glad to see investment in the area for facilities away from the seafront. With this facility we would be a a real resort and it fits well with the surf and skating theme we are becoming known for.

A couple of area's where I will push for careful planning in are 

1. parking, residents are seriously affected by parking problems when there is football on. there would need to be a very good travel plan - that works!
   
2. The look, we don't want Kings park to look like an industrial estate! so careful thought needs to be put into the building.

I would like to hear your views, please let me know!
