The Sunrising Tenants and Residents Association in Looe would like to bring to the attention of parents and children in Sunrising and Churchlands, the dangers of skateboarding and in-line skating through the estates.

On two occasions recently there have been near misses between young children on skateboards colliding with moving cars.

Many cars are parked on the estates and drivers have difficulty seeing a child skateboarding off the pavement on to the road. Children seem to derive great pleasure in performing this dangerous activity in the dark.

We feel that unless action is taken by parents and children to stop this activity a serious accident or fatality will occur.
