The second of three family fun days in Ellesmere Port, organised by Cheshire Police, has been hailed as a success.
About 250 people attended the local event at Hollymere Extra Care Development on Wednesday, August 14.
The event was run in conjunction with Alison Parry of Your Housing Group, as well as some of the residents of Hollymere.
PC Sian Jones, of Ellesmere Port Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “It was a great day supported by Cllr Pat Merrick as well as the local community, both young and old.”
Families enjoyed numerous activities including face painting, a bouncy castle supplied free by Airbounce Leisure, live music, DJ Dave Bladen and card making with Hollymere residents.
A smoothie bike from the Healthy Living Centre also proved popular.
Displays from the Parkour Collective thrilled the crowds.
The event was supported by Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, TA at Fox Barracks and Ellesmere Port, itravelsmart, Ellesmere Port Children’s Centre, Our Place and Lisa and Jacqui from Westminster Families’ Community Group, who organised a raffle with the proceeds going toward local families.
Cheshire police officers were on hand to support the community with crime prevention advice and ensure the smooth running of activities as well as handing out free padlocks provided by the local councillor to improve home security.
The remaining date will be held today (Wednesday) at Seacombe Park, Seacombe Drive, from 2pm onwards.
