Youth Zone Update: To receive a verbal update and presentation on the Youth Zone public engagement process. Minutes: The Committee received a presentation setting out an overview of the findings from the Youth Zone consultation, which had been undertaken between 5 November and 13 December 2020. It was reported that the survey had been completed by 296 participants and the results were felt to give a good flavour of the thoughts and feelings of young people in the borough towards the questions posed in the consultation; however it was thought that care should be taken not to generalise or draw specific conclusions from the data/findings. The questions covered areas such as what young people do in the evenings and weekends, what activities they would be interested in, and how a Youth Zone would help. The final question, whether participants would like to be a member of a Youth Zone, had a very positive response. Now that schoolchildren have returned to school, that officers undertake further engagement with them through the schools. |
