Youth facilities in Maldon District
Maldon District needs a youth club for young local people.
Why is this important?
The government's line is they are saying they will penalise children for anti social behaviour, but what are they doing to find out children turn to anti social behaviour? I questioned our local M.P. Sir John Whittingdale at his reselection in May. No answer was his reply.
I suggested the following reasons why they were turning to anti social behaviour:
- One or both parents trying to make ends meet in this economic crisis
- Teachers are not allowed to discipline children
- Too much violence in online gaming, shooting and stabbing the characters with no consequences.
- Too easily accessible recreational drugs.
My answer is, I have bought a lot of play items to hopefully set up a youth club. And also offer this equipment to be taken to other parishes after advertising days and dates for the children to come and enjoy themselves. Why hasn't Maldon District Council or Essex County Council done anything for the children during the recent summer holidays? We need to help the children and the future adults of this world to learn to respect others, to call for and expect better facilities and projects for our children.
This subject is important because it will teach our children to respect others through example, to learn how to communicate with other children, to encourage them to come out of their room, and get more involved, as well as getting some fresh air. To get them off of continuously sitting on their online gaming, and watching unsuitable items that are not suitable for them to watch.
