Councillor Chris Hobbs, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Customer Services, said: “This summer we’ve got a whole host of events lined up for young people of all ages. It’s fantastic to see our community out and about enjoying these events and I look forward to seeing everyone at these two Skate Fest afternoons.

“These events are part of a wider programme with our first Play Days on Tour activities kicking off on Tuesday 25 July.”
