The decision to have a shelter has been reached after discussions with our local safer neighbourhood team and in consultation with many other interested parties. We have to address the need for having somewhere safe for young people to hang out where they can enjoy their own company. If they gather on the streets, this can be seen as intimidating to other residents. Youth shelters have proven to cut down on anti social behaviour.
The shelter will be located well away from housing to keep noise nuisance to an absolute minimum, but will still be in an open, visible space so that it is safe. We shall be consulting with residents in due course to allay any fears they may have.
PLEASE VOTE NOW! AND PASS THIS ON SO THAT WE CAN GET AS MANY VOTES AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
