I AM delighted to hear that the Government has produced a £235million strategy to build and refurbish play areas.

The planners have included play areas for young children in the new developments in Portishead but there is still an absence of facilities for teenagers.

I hope that the Government's initiative will encourage North Somerset Council to rapidly progress our plans for a major Skatepark in Portishead.

BMX is now an Olympic sport and we know that many of our young people are desperate for this facility.
