The oldies have their bingo????? JC
Agree that there should be somewhere for the skateboarders and BMXers to break their necks in isolation. If they need more ramps etc. then build them, it keeps them off the streets and doing it in public places where they are liable to injure pensioners on their way to bingo. How about a short pier or jetty with a ramp at the end of it?

I think its brilliant what they are doing with New Brighton, yeah! lets bring back the pier, dont know what it is but there is something romantic about strolling down a pier, and also lets bring back a landing stage at the end of it, so the ferry can come back too.
Oh, and one more thing,lets ditch that awful clown thats suppose to "welcome" people to the area from Harrison drive end!

it would be nice for the kids round here to have something like rampworks in aintree my 12 year old wouldnt have to travel so far.I worry about him going over there even though he's with his mates,at least he wouldnt have so far to travel. Ditto to that, its quite pricey as well when you add travel costs, although my daughter did find a 2 for 1 offer on the website. I think if they opened something in New brighton for them and charged £5 - £7 per entry theyd do a roaring trade, even about £10 for a whole day stay would be worth it! Its never going to happen though

This development is just becoming more and more of a disappointment.

Its never going to happen though I expect that the young teens will rig up their own ramps etc. in the car parks of the Lido in the evening, thinking 'oh! what might have been'

This whole development is a real disappointment now. Who is attracted to a leisure destination that contains two massive soft play areas, a Morrisons, a Home & Bargain and a load of scruffy landscaping.

Planning still has to be approved, but, I think it sounds like a done deal. However, it's apparently what is wanted locally. Nobody asked me.

Sounds like they got the planning permission through the back door, promise a Lido/Health Club (without any business plan) to gain approval for the other high profit parts of the development.

Have you seen the size of the outdoor pool they have built, it's a joke, the model boating lake is bigger.
I was shocked how small the supposed sports centre is, completely overshadowed buy the commercial side of this development, am I surprised not that it's going to become a glorified ball pond - NO! for well over thirty years I've listened and read so much cr&p about what is going to be done to New Brighton. All I expect to see now is a supermarket and a load of empty shop units with ridiculously high rents.
This has been nothing but an excuse to build a supermarket, give it a year and the cinema will be closed and the rest of the shop units boarded up - or am I just a pessimist?

This is sounding to be yet another development by the local outfit Envelope, Brown, Bung & Co.Ltd. Sounds of back doors banging in the wind.
I feel sorry for the New Brighton folk who have (maybe) been led up the garden path.
ianhearse - you ain't alone in being a pessimist !

Youre not talking about the little swimming pool near to the boating lake are you? I assumed that pathetic thing was to do with the Travel Lodge place - is that really what they intended to be the public pool!? Jeez they should finish it off and hand that over to skateboarders - I've seen lordz of dog town, I've seen what these kids can do in empty pools

![[Linked Image]](http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k426/snickasevans/dailysmiley/iagree.gif) they should be looking at what people would most benefit from that we have missing locally. agree aswell they want older children of the streets something like this would most likely be enjoyed by older children especially my 14 and 16 year old children
