Good news dropped in our inbox this week that in response to the Save Southbank petition. It looks as though Southbank will remain for the enjoyment and development of skateboarders for years to come. Official word is:
"...the Southbank Centre recognises the importance of the Undercroft in bringing together skateboarders from across the UK and the value that the skateboarding community has brought to many young people and the South Bank area itself...The Southbank Centre has said that it has no plans to redevelop the Undercroft used by skateboarders. In fact, they are in close discussions with the skateboarding community about how to improve the current skateboard area and about how the community might become more involved in the Southbank Centre's artistic programme."
Just goes to show - if enough people shout loud enough, then our voices can be heard.
