Town Centre Masterplans

Representation ID: 838

Received: 28/01/2008

Respondent: Mrs Linda Haskew

Representation Summary:

I think there needs to be a coffee / milk bar for the young people to go to after school and in the evenings. It could even have a small stage area as an outlet for local talent. There is absolutely nowhere for young people under 18 to gather in rochford to meet up. Whilst I am happy for my daughter to have friends round, they prefer to feel independent and be able to go out to meet friends. No wonder kids hang around the streets. What else is there for them to do to meet up with mates?
