Nowhere to go

I am 14 yrs old and I have lived in Miles Platting all my life. I think Miles Platting has got miles better in the last few years but there is still not enough for us young people to do, especially for the girls and what I would like to see are more things for the younger generation. We have nowhere to play on our bikes as they knocked the BMX* course down that we used to have in the area. There is not a lot for the girls to do such as dance classes, or things for girls to do even in the youth club. I think if we had more facilities and entertainment, then the young people would not get in to trouble as much.

I think that the older people in our area are nice and that they need more facilities and more help because they do not get looked after properly. They are scared sometimes to go to the shops because the young people hang around in gangs, but only because they have nothing to do.
