I am writing to inform you about the lack of youth facilities in the area. This is becoming a problem to youngster as they have no place to go to do homework or something on their own. Teenagers meeting their friends is also a big problem with the lack of facilities because they cause trouble hanging around streets. As a consequence of this neighbours are constantly complaining and teenagers are getting in trouble, this would make most elder people feel vulnerable and intimidated.

In their spare time children like to meet up with their friends to have a laugh, but how can they be expected to behave if there is no youth facilities that they could attend to?

The solution is to provide more facilities around the area such as skate parks, youth clubs, music lounges, and parks. This means they won’t cause trouble on the streets as they will have places to go that they can meet their friends and have a good time. By this neighbours won’t be irritated and local families won’t be intimidated.

If you believe this is an issue, whether you have been affected or not, please sign the petition so that together we can start to put pressure on the local authority to make youth facilities a reality.
