Youngsters hoping to get a skatepark up and running in their village have seen the project take a massive step forward.
Aisha Burwell (11) came up with the scheme which will provide somewhere for skateboarders and rollerskaters in Moulton Seas End.

Last month she approached Moulton Parish Council asking for support for the project, which councillors agreed.

They have now contacted a company based in Peterborough which has agreed to send a representative to meet the council and the youngsters to discuss what is required.

The council asked Aisha to come up with a design for the park, which she has done, and the matter was discussed further at the last meeting.

Speaking afterwards Coun Andrew Malkin said: "Aisha has done her research and came back with an estimated cost of around £25,000.

"Funding may be sought from Sport England, The Big Lottery Fund and the Lottery Children's Fund."

Clerk Geoff Barham told the meeting that getting funding would not be a problem.

The land where it is hoped to site the park is owned by Moulton Parish Council and is administered by Moulton Seas End Ward Recreational Trust.

Aisha, who is in the first year at Gleed Girls' Technology College in Spalding, is a keen rollerskater and is determined to help get the park up and running.

She told last month's meeting: "There are a lot of elderly people around here who wanted their privacy and we found we just had nowhere to skate.

"There are lots of children around the village and I am sure everybody would really use it."
