Skatepark is one step closer
The Uckfield Skate Park Project has received 5,000 from the Safer Wealden Partnership (SWP) towards construction costs for the 'state-of-the-art' skatepark.
A spokesman for the SWP said: 'The forum concentrates on dealing with anti-social behaviour, criminal damage, common assault, and reducing the fear of crime within our area.

The group behind the proposed skatepark, the Uckfield Skate Park Committee (USPC), has been working on the fundraising and design alongside a group of youngsters.
It is hoped the skate park will be completed this year.
