It's hoped a major community effort in Weston-super-Mare can create a safe space for young people in the town.
A local church team has joined together with North Somerset Council to refurbish a run-down skatepark and BMX track.
Whilst many enjoy a rest this Bank Holiday weekend, one group volunteers is hard at work.
Their goal is to improve a local skatepark and BMX track for local young people.
The Transend team is trying to offer young people safe, alcohol and drug-free places to go. The hope is that the work being done will make a big impact.
