Oh well. We complain a lot about Basingstoke. For over a year there were deep ruts around the corners, get a skate stuck there and you break an ankle or a leg, or worse. However a rink is a rink, and ours is on borrowed time. The planned site redevelopment looks to be a swimming bath plus shops, which they laughingly call a leisure centre. Thanks Tory councillors, glad you care about the health of the people and not the wealth of developers.
