Ashington Town Council are excited to announce plans to evaluate the feasibility of creating a new skate park and scooter facility at People’s Park in Ashington.
The proposed project, brought forward by ward Cllrs Lynne Grimshaw, Matthew Cuthbert and Bob Walkinshaw, aims to provide a state-of-the-art recreational space for local youth, fostering an active lifestyle and encouraging participation in skateboarding and scootering – skateboarding having recently gained Olympic status.
Speed Monitoring
The Town Council purchased movable Speed Indicator Devices (SID) in 2018 with two aims; firstly, to educate drivers of speed limits and remind them not to speed, and secondly to be able to collect reliable speed data to quantify speeding issues. SIDs have been proven to be effective at enforcing speed limits as many drivers don’t realise, they are going too fast.
The SID displays the speed a driver is driving (up to a limit to discourage people trying to see how high they can go) and a message to slow down. It is mounted on lamp columns or street signs, and we work with Northumberland County Councils Highways to determine suitable locations.
