Saturday 20th November - Ilfracombe Skate Park Opening

The new Ilfracombe skate board park known as Benricks was officially opened last Saturday morning (20th November) by North Devon Council Leader Des Brailey. In attendance was the Mayor of Ilfracombe, Bob Thompson along with many Town Councillors. The park was packed with enthusiastic skaters and having spoken to some of them it certainly looks as though the park will be very well used. Benricks was funded by Devon County Council, North Devon Council and Ilfracombe Town Council and designed with lots of input from the local Concrete Surfers Association. Who said nothing ever happens in Ilfracombe and the Council doesn't care about our young people?
