One mum learned to skateboard and commented, I, loved it, let alone the kids�. Walter Tucker (7yrs) a younger parishioner said, I really enjoyed going over the ramps. Meeting my friends again!
The Police Respect and Responsibility van was also on site and proved a great success. The young people played on the various computer games, took part in a quiz and had their mobile phones security checked. P.C Dave Buckland, Youth Intervention Officer for North Cornwall was pleased with the day, excellent venue and hospitiality. The Young people were really keen and interested. Look forward to returning with the van again. Sharon Chinn , PCSO and councillor Phil Parsons were pleased that the Skatepark and the Respect and Responsibilty van worked well together, Councillor Parsons said, we would like to run the two events again in the autumn as they were so successful.
