Over 70 youths and parents attended, and Liam Andrews and Evie Wood cut the ribbon to officially open the skate park at midday.

On the wall of the Meridian Leisure Centre, just opposite the skate park, a memorial plaque was unveiled in memory of Stuart Pickering, who passed away two months ago.

Stuart, who has been described as a ‘quiet genius’, was instrumental in helping the skate park to go ahead, and secured a crucial £38,000 grant from the Veolia Trust last year.
