After launching a petition on change.org two months ago, it has attracted the backing of more than 675 people and has now received the backing of Lowestoft MP Jess Asato.

Youngster Ethan was inspired to start the campaign after competing in Skateboard GB’s Survival of the Sickest competition and witnessing the facilities available in other areas.

Requiring long journeys of more than two hours to reach indoor skateparks led him to contact Ms Asato for support.
