    We need to ensure that we have adequate facilities for our youths to engage with and enjoy using. I wish that the Police and Magistartes would deal firmly with anyone causing ASB. We have lots of good things going for us, but a small minority seem to spoil it.

    Hi livy,
    sadly we do not have enough meeting places for teenagers to meet their friends and just keep dry and warm at night.
    We will always have some teenagers who like hanging around on the streets at night.
    The Council should give the teenagers better facilities so they are kept off the street, and then ASB issue’s will not be as big as it is today.
    Regards
    Gary

    We need to encourage them into activities that support their community, but a question must be asked of the parents allowing them to hang around the streets to the early hours of the morning.
