The skaters of London and beyond need your support in saving the Southbank skateboard area from becoming re-developed into a commercial shopping area!
Since the early 70s “The Undercroft” (the sheltered area beneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London’s Southbank) has served as the centerpoint of the skateboarding community in the UK. It’s an open public-space that has brought together thousands of young people, from various backgrounds, over the last 35 years to form a harmonious and positive community. But the free and open public area is now under threat and could soon be no more!
Please spend the next 20 minutes to checkout a very observant documentary film “Save The Southbank” that has been produced by Winstan Whitter and Toby Shuall to generate an understanding of the area and the important situation at hand. Do your part and sign the online petition to join the fight!
*Note – In order sign the petition you have to be a UK resident, but perhaps you can get creative with a Google search and make up an address for the cause. Get to it!
