Skateboarders in London are now in struggle to save their Southbank Skateboarding area from being wiped out for the potential development of commercial shopping area. It is actually a sheltered area beneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall and it has been a common place for skaters to hang out and become part of the citizens. Winston Whitter and Tony Shuall produced a 20 minutes documentary video titled "Save The Southbank" to create public awareness of that place and at the same time, raise signatures for petition. Since we are Malaysians, we cant sign it. What we can do is, learn from this experience. If it something that important to the community, voice it!
The video can be viewed here and best of all. it is free! Go to http://www.dobedo.co.uk/dbd_viewmedia.php?mId=8
