Cenotaph looks to shut out skateboarders

Wellington City Council and The Parliamentary Service are to work together to stop skateboarders at the city's cenotaph.

Skateboarders have been causing some damage to the newly refurbished precinct.

Councillor Nicola Young says a number of options are being considered.

"What they've done in other parts of Wellington is things like studs in the ground.

"But what they have to do is trade off between keeping the skateboarders out, but also making sure that pedestrians are still safe - so we don't want trip hazards obviously."
