INTERNET FORUM

Hi

My name’s Núria Jaén and I live in the south of England. I like the area where I live, so I want to improve it.

In my opinion young people spend all their time hanging around on the street. There are sometimes problems with vandalism and graffiti. As a result, there isn’t anywhere for young people to go and there aren’t any facilities for them.

I think the council should do something about this. I’m sure they must have a some land which local people can use for a youth café.
