Public Meeting about Skateboarding in Manchester's City Centre

Manchester's skateboarders are meeting with the City Council and Greater Manchester Police among others to talk about skateboarding issues in the City centre. The public meeting has been organised by SkateMCR, Manchester City Council and URBIS to provide a space for the issues facing skateboarders to be discussed with the authorities. "The City Council has never consulted skateboarders in Manchester so we're calling on all skateboarders from Manchester to come to this meeting to have their say in how things are and how they want things to be." says Ben Gibbs from SkateMCR. The meeting, on Tuesday 27th July at 7pm in the URBIS museum is open to the general public to come and listen to the issues and have their say too. Ben Gibbs 17/07/07
