A mum from the Wirral said a gang of teenagers on bikes 'made her day' when they provided an unexpected act of kindness to her daughter and son.
Vikki Louise Lynchy, a mum of two from Wallasey, was out doing 'beat the street' on Sunday - an orienteering programme to encourage walking - with her children when her son, Levi-Jordan, 7, decided he wanted to have a go on the bike ramps at Wallasey Central Park. Vikki said she was 'quite nervous' about letting her son, and her daughter, Ava, 4, use the ramps.
She said that since the bike track was installed in March it has had 'had a lot of bad press'- with her friends on Facebook often reporting stolen bikes and intimidating gangs of young people hanging around the area. She said that until Sunday she hadn't let Levi-Jordan use the ramps, despite his repeated requests, because of how nervous she was about the area.
