http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/YouthService/ I as a young person living in Northampton think the county council is ridiculous and boring. Not only have they cut the annual street fair, but a youth arts building (roadmender) lost its funding and had to close and now they are hoping to improve the Youth service by making all the workers redundant and closing all youth clubs in the county (70), this also means that Connexions will lose staff due to this change. This is where my idea of old people in suits making out of touch desisions comes from. I was told by a Councillor at Northampton youth forum that if the roadmender closed down, it didnt matter, theyre are plenty of Youth clubs and actiities in the area. Aparently not (any more.) Extract from Northampton County Council website. www.northamptonshire.gov.uk Last Updated: Tuesday, 6 September, 2005 10:56 GMT Who is the Youth Service for? * Children and young people aged between 13 to 19 years and also, to a lesser extent, those aged 11 to 13 and 20 to 25. * Parents, by making sure that high quality programmes are developed for their children. * The community, by making sure that the next generation in Northamptonshire has the best opportunities to make informed choices in their lives and become active and effective citizens. * Young people in greatest need, including those at risk in both urban and rural areas, those with disabilities and young people from black and minority ethnic communities.
