Below is a sample of  the feedback received from 11-18 year olds via the on-line 'Youth Blog'

"The old tennis courts need to be resurfaced, or a MUGA put in there. This will allow youths to use the facilities all year round without the danger of slipping and hurting themselves on gravel. As a result, youths will be able to play games with their peers.It would also be good if someone set up a club where youths could play 5-aside football with a referee to coach them.

The recreational centre is a great facility in our community that needs to be used to its potential.Is there a possibility that rugby posts could be erected on the field, as many youths like rugby in our village."

"I think there should be more stuff for teenagers e.g bring back skate ramps & to redo the mud jumps. Also there should be more swings at the park."

"Me and a lot of my friends want better bike jumps at the rec. lots of mud needed and better build. I suppose you can't do anything about people wrecking them but it would be nice if we could have some kind of LASER SCANNER or something!!! also bring back skate ramps."

"I understand that the council can't actually build a cinema but maybe during the weekends or in the holidays the village hall could show films on a big screen from a projecter which could be linked to a laptop or something. The times for the films could go out in a little leaflet or in the Parish Council magazine."

"I think that there should be more bike jumps that vary from small to big because the people that cant do the big ones wreck them so they can build small ones for themselves.They should also bring back the skateboard ramp but it should be improved and better than the last one. finally, I think that they should redo the old tennis court into a 5-a-side football court or something different and new."
