YOUTH SHEDS - What can we do about it?
What needs to change?
• Should be specific areas for youths / teens to spend time instead of being around the town

• Lots of these sheds for different groups to hang around in.
How?
• Young people help to contribute to the costs by designing and building the sheds.
• Meet up with a group of councillors to discuss / presentation
• Questionnaires, votes, spread the idea.
Who should be responsible?
• Local council
• Young people
