Repairs to a skate park are “shocking” according to a keen skater.

Sales assistant Matt Woodison, 21, told the Gazette back in July that the skate park in Ramsey Road, Halstead, needed urgent repairs and was one of the worst in the country.

The repairs were carried out in September.

Mr Woodison, who has been skating for seven years, said: “They have taken no care in the repairs.

“They can’t have spent more than £100 on it - I could have done better myself."

A spokesman from Braintree Council said that the work had been completed to a satisfactory level.
