Ledbury youngsters jumped 'ollies' for joy as their new skate park officially opened on Saturday.

Children of all ages raced onto the Kickflip skate park to practice the latest tricks on their skateboards and BMX bikes after the Mayor of Ledbury Keith Francis started the proceedings at the town's recreational ground.

With rock music and plenty of good food and drink, a party atmosphere was enjoyed by all as the young urban athletes tried out the new equipment.

The much sought-after facility received funding from Advantage West Midlands, Herefordshire Council and Ledbury Town Council and was built by local firm Playworld Systems.
