Cabinet considered the proposed Cardiff Skateboard Amenity Strategy, attached at Appendix 1 to the report. It was highlighted that Skateboarding has become an Olympic Sport and, as a result, participation and demand is growing. It was noted that the Strategy would contribute to the aims of Cardiff Physical Activity and Sport strategy, the Health and Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015 and the Child Friendly City ambitions. It was further noted that adopting the strategy and achieving new facilities would reduce ongoing revenue pressures, provide safe places and encourage increased participation for young people.

It was highlighted that progress would be reviewed through the Annual Parks, Play and Infrastructure delivery plan, attached to the report as Appendix 2.

A public letter from the Economy & Culture Scrutiny Committee was circulated.
