A new skate park has been approved by Ealing Council in a bid to improve the borough's youth facilities

The council has allocated £200,000 for the scheme while another £65,000 is being used to a build a dance studio. Locations have yet to be decided.

Work is also underway on other projects in the borough, subject to public consultation

The decision comes after a poll in May in which 6,433 11-16 year olds were asked for their views on how one million pounds should be spent. The top choice was a new skate park.

Councillor Ian Gibb, cabinet member for children's services, said : "This is great news for people across the borough. By investing in this, we're providing exciting activities for young people not just now, but for years to come."
