Roadmender is a great venue - not just for Northampton but for the country. I assume that because the young people who go there don't vote the council think it is ok to dump it. Has anyone asked the council where they expect all the people they are depriving of a place to meet will go? Secondly all young people of Northampton, kick out the council. They are voted in by a very small amount of your public. You can vote them all out. You have to be on the electoral role but that is your given right (as long as you are 18 or over) so get everyone you know to register and vote. If you did it would be a very very long time before any Northampton councillor ignored the views of the young. You can even form your own political party and vote in your mates.
