Ref your article in the Portishead Times about the Lake Grounds in Portishead now being considered as a possible site for a new skateboard park.We would completely oppose any such site as we consider the Lake Grounds as a whole has enough problems without the considerable amount of noise generated by the younger generation in the evenings especially at weekends.The possible site suggested behind the boathouse is where a bouncy castle is situated giving pleasure to the very young which, of course, is not used at night, whereas a skateboard park would be used after the pubs close, creating more noise.M G Harding Lake Road, Portishead
