Representation Summary:

Lack of sheltered areas for sports and lightning which is impacting a huge number of people

Full text:

None of these plans allows sports like roller blading, bmx, scooter and skateboarding unconditionally of the weather. There are huge communities of young and adult and mature people who struggle to keep up with their fitness levels or practise their loved sport during the rest of the year that isn't the summer. In particular, not only the plans do not create areas shielded from the weather but there is no lighting in skateparks which means anyone who works an office job or has another occupation which is many people doesn't not have a chance to practice their sport after finishing their work because sunset is at 4pm.
