Skateboarders spoiling city centre, claims councillor

ONE of Waterford city’s most picturesque and tranquil city centre areas is being over-run by skate boarders, rollerbladers and mountain bikers who are making it a no-go area for everyone else, a city councillor has claimed.

By-laws should be introduced to ban such activity in the city and particularly along the city plaza, according to city councillor Mary O’Halloran.

She said the area is being constantly damaged by such activity and the tranquillity of the area is being ruined.
