“Northway had a very old metal skatepark, which RoSPA inspected annually and advised it would reach the end of its usable life by 2024. The Council were then faced with the dilemma of whether to remove the old skatepark and leave a grassed area or to investigate the viability of installing a new concrete skatepark. The Council met with a number of skatepark providers, followed by a tendering process, which showed Maverick as the favourite. They were a perfect fit for Northway so were appointed as the Design and Build Contractor. One of the big selling points was the offer of assistance to the Council through the whole journey from start to finish, including helping to apply for grant funding. It would have been nearly impossible for the Council to put together applications without Maverick’s expert advice and assistance. When it came to design, the Council, as well as Maverick, were keen for input from local skaters/BMXers and met with them on site to put together a design that suited everyone.
Once the planning application was approved and funding had come in, the skatepark construction could begin. The whole construction phase was such a positive experience. Maverick looked after everything including security, keeping the area clean and tidy and updating the Parish Council with their progress. The Council did not encounter one single problem, and this was due to Maverick’s expertise, experience and professionalism. Always happy to meet the council on site, Maverick sent weekly updates with lots of photos and even agreed to meet with local school children to teach them a bit about how to construct a skatepark, which was
a very positive experience for everyone.
Maverick has been an absolute winner for Northway and the users love it!””

This would not have been possible without funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, Enovert Community Trust and Gloucestershire Playing Fields and thanks go out to Northway Parish Council for making it all happen.
