Letter: Nothing to do when you're young and in Harlescott

Letter: I am 17 and live in Harlescott, Shrewsbury.

In my area there is nothing for young people to do.

People often complain about "yobs" hanging round on street corners causing trouble - especially during the summer holidays.

I have just looked on the Shropshire youth website and there are only six results for things to do in my area, and only two of them are during the holidays.

I think that young people should have more of a say in what happens, more money should be put into young people's activities, after all we are the future of the nation.

I would just like all of the councillors and officials to think, if you put money into activities for young people there will be less vandalism and fewer young people will get into trouble with the police, so it would be an overall saving.

Remember the young people of today are the doctors, nurses, police officers and officials of tomorrow.
