Brigg Skatepark - just over the border in Scawby Brook, near the Leisure Centre - has been saved for another year. Funding from Brigg Town Council, individuals and other local parish councils helped to meet the latest insurance premium for the facility which is not council-controlled.
Town Mayor Coun Ben Nobbs (pictured) said there had been "a bit of a panic" until the necessary funding was obtained.
Members of Brigg Town Council's policy committee were pleased to hear the facility would continue to provide enjoyment for young people. The council gave £250 during the last financial year and the same amount for 2010/11.
However, committee chairman Coun Jenny Bell said she thought North Lincolnshire Council ought to be footing the bill. "It's not just Brigg's skatepark," she stressed.
Coun Ann Eardley agreed, saying: "It's an asset to North Lincolnshire."
