Young skater's successful campaign for Langwarrin upgrade
Frankston City Deputy Mayor, Nathan Conroy met recently with local rider and skater, Caiden, to discuss Council's $40,000 upgrade planned at the Langwarrin Skate Park.
The push for improvements was driven by 13-year-old Caiden, who visits the park with his brothers and recently gathered 355 signatures on an online petition to upgrade the facility.
“I think (a better facility) will bring the community together more and more kids will be able to meet up,” Caiden said.
Cr Conroy said consultation process would involve speaking directly with skaters like Caiden, who use the park.
Linking Frankston City students with local business experience

Spicy Web director and founder Tony Sambell, who participated in the program in 2019, said the experience provided great benefits to both the business and student.
Mr Sambell said: “We had a student jump into the mix at Spicy Web and see firsthand what we do.
“We gave them some training on the technical side of digital marketing and even let them take the reins of some client accounts.”
