FEARS that skateboarders could endanger themselves and others have been raised by Colwall Parish Council.

Coun Ray Knight said the youngsters congregate in Station Drive and local people have complained.

Ron Wills, sub postmaster at Colwall Post Office, said the youngsters were not a problem to him but he was worried about their safety.

"They're endangering themselves," he said. "They want somewhere to play and they've got nowhere."

The skateboarders are raising a petition calling for a skate park but so far the council has not been approached.
