PRESSURE from residents has forced Watford Council to withdraw its proposal to build a skatepark in the town centre.
The leisure department on Wednesday admitted defeat in its campaign for a skatepark in the former Watford springs site.
The proposed skatepark was to be open for a trial period of just three months and would have been unsupervised.
But following a meeting this week with worried residents, the council felt they could not allay all of their concerns over noise, crime and disruption.
