I AGREE with the former Mayor Mr Benjamin OBE, that the Government does nothing to fund facilities for youths and that they have nowhere to go for recreation.
This is a very vital problem! Bored youths get up to crime and vandalism and making people's lives a misery as well as their own!.
Surely they are neglected just as the old are -- pensioners in poverty at £28.30 p/w worse off despite the budget and con man G Brown! Money spent would pay for itself in less crime and vandalism.
Politicians, councillors should serve the people -- not themselves. Good pay rises -- pensioners 75p p/w -- how do they sleep at night?
