Canal taking its time

Manager — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 15:37:48 +0000

We are in the process of asking the european commission why work has not started on the Killamarsh part of the canal as work should have started some time ago perhaps it will clean Killamarsh up in the process. The august 23rd 2010 unveiling of the supposed plans seem to have fallen on deaf ears, something should have started by now we need the boats and tourists to put Killamarsh on the map. If tourists come to Killamarsh we may get more police on the streets to clean the place up. Larger photos in original post

This is what Killamarsh canal should be like.

The Blacksmiths

Blacksmiths gone but not forgotten it would have made a decent youth club. Something for the community and would have saved money. CLICK ON PHOTO FOR ENLARGEMENT

Skateboard park

Manager — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:11:14 +0000

The skateboard park is about to go ahead, it will open in june is it a good thing or bad. The people of killamarsh are very dubious about bringing more trouble to the bottom of killamarsh the recent complaints about drunken teenagers running riot at the leisure centre, and surrounding streets. The authorities cannot cope with the youths now, so bringing more on to the scene will create more heartache for nearby residents .we think it would have been a good idea to have a skate board park if the situation with the youths had been addessed before it had been built. Nobody has said how it is going to be policed after it shuts at 10.00 pm, a few hundred youths turning out at that time cannot be good unless it is policed properly. We have also printed the piece out of the leader about the £300 millon leisure park that is going to be built on the rother valley surely the council could have saved our money and waited for this to be built as we feel sure the teenagers wont be wanting to go to the leisure centre when that is built. Please give us your comments especially if you live nearby the leisure centre
