Bury Council has paid more than £55,000 to a firm hired to create a new skate park who subsequently went bust.
Construction of the £225,000 ‘wheeled sports’ park in Clarence Park, Bury, which would cater for skate boarding, BMX riding and scooters, began in June. The area had been largely cleared in readiness for ramps and other equipment to be installed.
However, last month, The Freestyle Collective, the firm in charge of the project, went into voluntary liquidation.
