“I am immensely proud of each and every one of them.”

Cllr Angela McClements – Cabinet Member for Leisure, Tourism, Culture & the Arts presented medals to the skaters yesterday at Telford Ice Rink.

This event not only recognised their achievements, but also celebrated the spirit of inclusivity that defines the sport.

Their encouragement and resources play a vital role in helping our skaters achieve their best.”
