Unit3Sixty skate park, which opened in Stourbridge three years ago, has launched a fundraising campaign for £5,000.

Boss Gavin Pardoe says the money will go to repairing parts of the park. This includes replacing the tops of some of the skate ramps which need replacing.

He said: "We have this great skate park for young people in Stourbridge. Now we want to maintain it, have the money to make the needed repairs.

"We do not get any regular funding from authorities, so to keep the costs down for the users we must find money for repairs."

The fundraising campaign is being run online and amount raised so far is £95.
