Skateboard competition

A skateboard competition took place at the Jesus Green skatepark on Saturday, September 26.

This was organised by Chypps, the young people's play activities team at Cambridge City Council.

This is exactly what the way the green should be used and a very good way to engage young people. It also follows a fantastic programme of events over the summer by this team, which kept thousands of children occupied and delighted during the holidays.

Children, parents and child care workers who used the scheme it was fantastic and let's hope they get the recognition they so richly deserve for their efforts.
