Oh thats horrible! There are a few areas in Saltash that seem to be coming more and more run down. I dont walk along Fore Street in the evening any more because of the gangs that hang around. The problem is kids are really bored in town there isnt a lot for them to do!
That is disgusting. We've lived in Saltash for a year and I've seen very little bad behaviour so it surprises me. However I rarely go out in the evening so that may be why. I'm surprised at the comment that there isn't much for young people to do in the town as there seems quite a lot to me.....Livewire, K3, the skatepark, town band, sports activities, scouts etc and various other groups. Young people will hang around in groups anyway as that's what they do, and is generally a positive thing. They tend to be easily demonised as it can make people uncomfortable to walk past a big group. My bugbear is that the young people, and the elderly population are very well catered for but those of us in between seem to have nowhere to go other than pubs. Fore Street could be a much nicer place if it had a thriving evening life with cafes, bistros, maybe an arts centre for all ages with performance space etc.
If the council will close public toilets where is one supposed to go or are you meant to wee in your pants , there is lots for our youths to do in Saltash maybe not weekends but during the week plenty , but I'm afraid not many want organised places to attend , a lot of the youths not only in Saltash but other Towns all over the Country are becoming more and more feral , and it will get worst if our police force dwindles any more , do you a suggestions as to how matters can be improved
