A Win in Winthrop

Monday November 2nd was a good day for skaters in Winthrop. The town counsel worked with the skaters in town and amended the current policy and attitude towards skaters. With some discussion about safety for all residents, the skaters and the counsel came to an agreement. The skaters have agreed to work on the new options for the ordinance that covers skating down town, and on the new guide lines for the use of the community skatepark. The counsel agreed to lift the helmet requirement and amend the current ordinance to only ban skating on the sidewalks and street in the down town area during business hours. There is still work to be done, but Winthrop taking a positive stance in efforts to make skaters feel welcome in Winthrop. Maybe we can use this as a model to help Gardner and other communities support our sport and life style.
