WILL Hereford ever warm to a permanent ice rink? Pupils at the Aconbury Centre school, Ross Road, think it's a 'really cool' idea.

Jodie Flowers, Donna Kelly, and Luke Harman wrote to The Hereford Times with their plea for planners to address a 'lack of things to do' rather than approving 'supermarket after supermarket'.

Luke thinks 'loads of people' would flock to any future rink.

Jodie and Donna argue it would make life 'more interesting' for youngsters used to 'wandering round the streets'.

"If there was something we could all do, it would be a lot better for not only us, but the adults as well," they write.

So what do the 'adults' think? Having made the effort, surely Luke, Jodie and Donna deserve more than a 'frosty' reception.
