This is locally determined need, Young people really need support from the appropriate agencies Many young people simply congregate on the streets this could provide them with a more pleasant enviroment C.D.Y.E.S would be delighted in any way we can to support this exciting new service Young people themselves are the best people to advise on the most valuable services and opportunities to them, their ideas are most important in this consultation It would need to be well 'policed' to stop influx of drug/gang problems and to be safe for all ages. Young people could be staff there too It’s a long awaited revival of the youth centre era Something like this is needed to stop them hanging aound street corners causing touble Rather than punishment the youth need engagement. Most of the problems are due to boredom. If they had ownership for projects there may be more commitment Listen to what they woud like to do within reason I think it would help stop the under age drinking and stop the vandalism The project would have to be enjoyable for the people involved and not patronising We are sick of hanging around with nothing to do Get rid of Chavs Good idea Try to make the area safe . We need something to do Make sure something is done in Sacriston I think a cinema will work because kids like movies. They should hold premieres for kids on a morning before the adults want to come in We hope this venue will not be placed where access is hard for all children in the Chestre-le-Street area
