This is just outside Cleveleys we are called Thornton/Cleveleys!
Is it a step in the right direction? or a Step backwards?
Me I think something was needed to be done but there is absolutely burger all for kids to do around that area of the Town!

I don't see a legitimate reason for under 16's to be out after 9.00pm on a school night anyway. If they can't behave, they don't deserve to be out.

Their antics make the place an no go area for normal people trying to go about their business - The minority of badly behaved have spoilt it for the rest again.

I played out until 9:00pm last night..........But i allowed myself too.
I was out on the street playing cricket with my kids and the kids on the street,Not one bit of vandalism,arguing or drinking from under 16's.
A lack of amenities to under 16's is the problem and should be faced!!

the world has come to GREED the government want money off you one way or another always pulling schemes to squeez more money from the average joe bloggs,and willing to put nothing back in the system.the kids have NOTHING to entertain them selfs and penalised for it.
the local school near to me is open 3 nights a week for youngsters (but 2 pounds)that is for 3 hours of entertainment,and average 3.2 family can not afford to pay this fee if they have 2 children that is 4 pounds an evening or 12 pounds a week....where is the community spirit????

The good times.............i remember learning to breakdance in the early 80's at Burnley wood Youth club.
There should be more amenities like this for younger people..............and then the government are moaning about kids doing vandalism,drinking,underage sex and the like,because there are no amenities for them to go to.
Hypocrites!

You can't force kids to join things like youth groups etc but they could keep youngsters out of trouble and they might have fun as well!

:) i too remember the break dance days (though me myself couldnt do it)and the other one where they did the ROBOTIC moves...(some were real good too) i tried but god how pathetic did i look..lol.it didnt cost much to entertain us back then (not that many moons back either) and if you was unemployed you got into thompsons swimming pool for nothing or a small fee..and now no-one wants to help the kids apart from critisising them..there is good and bad in all but what is on offer???? (NOTHING).ADHD as well i am sorry but there seems to be loads nowadays when i was younger a clip round the ear lugs sorted my attitude out (for a little bit)discapline is needed and entertainment for the young ones.the government cant keep taking everything and keep giving nothing.i feel sorry for the youth of today......and scared too ....because one day they are going to be in government and run the country....my god the government run by lots of little HARRY ENFIELDS.......................................... ............hellllpppppppp
