Graffiti boards created by youths are being displayed at the skate park in Liskeard in an attempt to cut down on crime. The local policing team ran a project with professional artist Too Tall Paul working with users of the skate park to make the colourful displays.

More than 25 of the wooden boards were put in place at the park on Wednesday morning and police officers are now hoping youngsters will respect the area.

One of the boards was designed by friends of keen skater Jesse Stevens, 13, in his memory, following his death in February.
