There isnt anything “wrong” with Park View per se, i just personally dont like it very much, just an opinion thats all haha, wouldnt be any point in mailing anybody about it because its not doing any harm and i know people who do enjoy it alot – i just dont.

Good news on the project to be anyway, i look forward to seeing what else happens.

I presume kite surfers (like other surfers) train on the beach first before getting into the much more dangerous water? I suspect you need surfing skills first from looking at them as well as knowledge of how the wind should be used – not a sport I have the guts to try I must admit.
Reg Haslam always seems to have really well thought out plans and is precisely the sort of person Blackpool needs to bring the resort back to a new heyday.
Re Park View 4 U I suspect the skate park part isn’t that brilliant just because the whole facility is really aimed at kids. If it isn’t appropriate even for kids perhaps Jamesh you could contact them and explain what’s wrong with the facility as it is? – they do try very hard (info@parkview4u.org.uk) and they are volunteers so please use a bit of tact.

I thought kite surfing took place on the water? I suppose there is an option to do it on a roller skate type thingy on the sands at low tide!!!!

A comprehensive response from Mr Haslam without council spin. (me thinks)

Seems to be well thoughtout and I can only see the weather being against the scheme.

Must say a little amused by the statement of Kite Surfing Lessons – or – are these going to be on the Sand Dunes Area – Transport via the new tram depot ?.
