Chris Mole MP backed Ipswich’s successful bid to break the world record for the number of people yo-yoing simultaneously.

The attempt, promoted by Ipswich Central in partnership with the New Wolsey Theatre took place on the Cornhill in Ipswich town centre on Sunday, July 26th and began at 3pm.

“This was a brilliant idea that will help put Ipswich on the map. It is great fun to bring the community together and to encourage more people into our town centre.

“I am delighted that the bid was successful and want to congratulate everyone involved.”
