Increase the county council youth budget to enable youth teams to tackle the causes of rising antisocial behaviour by our young people.
Why is this important?
We have seen an increase in Antisocial behaviour in Bridgwater being reported.
Young people are being moved from one area to another but the antisocial behaviour moves with them. Youth Clubs in Bridgwater are being bombarded with more young people but they haven't got the resources to cope.
Youth Services have been slashed and underfunded and we need to see an increase to deal with the problems we face. We need County Council to increase funding to enable dedicated youth workers to work with these young people to reduce antisocial behaviour and help make Bridgwater and its people feel safe.
