Crime pays for Skate Park initiative! | Dyfed Powys Police | Heddlu Dyfed Powys It’s not everyday that you can say crime pays – but thanks to the Dyfed-Powys Police Incentivisation Fund, a local youth programme has received £1,000. The cash, which paid towards a design and construction project at Cardigan Skate Park, was obtained as a result of Police successfully seizing and confiscating criminal assets. Small World Theatre put together the initiative, which will work with skate park users and young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEETS).

Young skating wannabes will get the opportunity to show off their skills at the Skate Park, Carmarthen on Saturday July 31 between 11am and 3pm. The event is organised in partnership between Carmarthenshire Council’s Youth Service, Carmarthen Skate Committee and Carmarthen Town Council. There are four categories 11-13, 14-16, 17-19 and 20-25 and prizes are available to 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Youth Worker Emma Pitt said:“The competition is open to anyone and you don’t have to be a professional to enter. The Competition is suitable for Blades, Boards and BMX. “This will be a fun day out and a way of encouraging young people to take up a hobby to help keep them active.”
