Kent County Council (KCC) are proposing to reduce expenditure on youth services in the county. They propose to treat Thanet as a single entity and hence retain a single youth "Hub" at the Quarterdeck in Margate whilst withdrawing funding for the two Ramsgate centres at Concorde & Artwise.
It is unlikely that the majority of young people, for logistical, financial or other reasons, will be able to use the Margate centre. This will result in fewer youngsters spending their spare time in a structured environment and growing up as good members of society rather than possibly adding to the level of anti-social behaviour.
We, the undersigned, petition local councillors to recommend to KCC that funding for all three youth centres is retained.

I honestly cannot believe how many people have jumped on this board since I started typing this out in my kitchen because it puts into perspective exactly how much we all value these clubs. The momentum is just wild and it really shows the council that taking away space from our kids is not going to fly quietly.

Absolute joke. KCC doesnt care about Thanet at all. Stop cutting services!!!!
THINK ABOUT THE KIDS FOR ONCE instead of just saving pennies. we need these centers to keep the streets safe.
My son goes to the Concorde club every week. He would be totally lost without it. Why do they keep taking everything away from our kids?
If these close you will see alot more trouble around town. these centers are a life line for alot of teenagers.
Used to go to these places when i was a lad. kept me out of trouble. madness to close them.

Keep them open. Margate is too far for these kids to walk especially in the winter. Dont make things harder for the families in Ramsgate.
