I believe young people should have a place to hang out in the evenings and I thought we had a youth centre for this. However it is very true about the Youths in the park. I met them all a few weekends ago and actually felt quite intimidated. I don't think people would have such a problem with them if they were more considerate. They hang around in a huge group and leave a trail of litter and distruction behind them. If they want to hang out there then they have every right to but they should leave it as they find it and PUT THEIR RUBBISH IN THE BINS! |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) One of the reasons that the Town Council are keen to keep the police station building is that it could also be used as community contact point and incorporate facilities for the youth of Silsden, maybe an internet cafe etc. Maybe the police should consider for once the wider benefits of retaining the police station building, and the fantastic community facilities if could offer, rather that the short term benefit of selling it! Maybe they'll even tell us what the desperately need the money for, then maybe not! |

having police in the park after 6pm would do nothing, since if the youths are just hanging about and dropping litter what are they going to do about it really? Should really look at other problems in the town first as this is minor imo. |

hey up hursty partying in the park never did me any harm whos fault is it we have nowhere to go. a park is for the children so let em be!!!! silsden westside!!!! |

the youths in silsden park would be welcome if they respected it, and the other people who use it. but they don't they vandlise it and leave litter everywhere. this spoils it for everyone. if they can manage to carry full cans into the park then they should be able to carry empty ones out. |

Why not use the library for internet access, or read some books or magazines. Its all very well saying facilities should be provided, but they are there already - just not used. |

One of the problems in Silsden is that there is nothing to do after 6.00pm for youths other than hang round on street corners and the park etc. How can we criticise them if that's exactly what they do? We complain about vandalism but what do we do to give the youths alternatives? Answer, nothing! Youth groups, the three churches in Silsden, council, US, could all do something about it IF we set our mind to it! Perhaps we should have more action and less pontificating! |
|
| mac.monkey |
You're absolutely right alan, there is no point complaining unless we, as individuals are prepared to do something about it. I take your point about facilities after 6.00pm, but it must be said that during the summer holidays the facilities that I mentioned were open and available to everyone. Unfortunately a lot of the kids decided to loiter around the Memorial Gardens or public toilets and in general make a nuisance of themselves. |
|
| alan |
And what did anyone in Silsden do for the kids during the summer holidays? |
|
| mac.monkey |
Dare I ask, but what did you do? |
|
| alan |
Why not come to a few Town Council meetings and find out. The Town Council has put the youth in Silsden as a major priority over the past couple of years, despite our limited powers and resources. They have supported fully the Youth Council, which has been tremendously successful, and the successful bid for the MUGA (multi-use games area) led by Hothfield School. Maybe you'd like to help with the Youth Council etc. The Town Council are two members short at the moment and will be looking to co-opt probably in October. |

Thanks, I'll do that. I've only been working in Silsden for about a month now. I actually live in Burley where there are similar problems but the community council do try their best. I think this situation is one that shouldn't be pro or anti the childrens behaviour because there are is much more to it than that. There needs to be some give and take, we should provide things for everyone to utilise but we all need to take responsibility for our actions including children. There seems to be little respect for property or other people and an expectancy that others will provide facilities and entertainment (this is what annoys a lot of people). Having said that I don't think that is an argument for not providing things for children, but you can see where the vicious circle of blame and recrimination comes from. We all can and should do our best in the society we live in whether it is for older people or the younger generation. Whether they take up the offer is yet to be seen. Fortunately, I am an optimist.  |

Fortunately, despite what people may or may not think, Silsden is still the best little town to live in Yorkshire I live here through choice being an immigrant from Salford in Lancs! I can say hand on heart I won't be going back that side of the Peninnes!We do suffer from a small amount of nuisance crime, but that's all it is in my opinion. The vast majority of youth are sensible and cause no problems. Much better to live here than other areas! That said we must all take responsibility for our town. I'd particularly like to see the churches etc do more for youngsters, they could offer so much, and we have THREE in Silsden! Sadly we seem to be the last in line when our great MDC, Bradford, hands out the money! |

This is an age old problem. I believe the Romans nver solved it. Neither did the Elizabethans or the Victorians. Anyone who tries, such as Baden-Powell, is likely to be considered weird by future generations, which puts people off. Now the put off is the likelyhood of being sued if something goes wrong. Interestingly enough they all grow up an in later years complain about youths in the park. Life goes on. |

After seeing youths sitting outside the methodist church every night, last week one put a stone through the roof of the building onto a class of 10 year olds dancing, so come on Silsden phone up and complain about a small group of youths who are making this town scary for a large amount of people. Don't turn the other cheek get onto the police as i did and perhaps something wil get done ! |

But the park is for all to enjoy   Is this "having fun?", or just being bored? The result of drink? The result of drugs? or just vandalism.If you don't want to be policed then behave and put your litter in a bin - the park is for all and it should not become a no-go area after 6pm |
|
| grandad |
207026 you are obviously illiterate and or blind. The parents may not take their kids in the park late at night but they do want to take them in the following morning. but when they do they find all the empty cans and broken bottles that you idle bunch of yobs have dumped. if you had any brains at all you would put your rubbish in the bins, then the good people of this town could enjoy the park that their taxes pay for. so clean up your act, and you will find that you don't get as many complaints made about you. |

i think the amount of police in silsden park after 7 is just plain stupid! there are more in the park on a night then there is through the day when they should be there because alot of young kids are scared by some of the youths and on a night there are no kids there so we should be aloud to do our own thing. |
|
| bowman |
if the police are so bothered about the youths hangin round then why dunt someone give us something decent in silsden to do then we wont want to go out and get p*****. thats the only way it will be solved!!!!!!! |

Because if anything is organised then: the organisers need to be trained the organisers need personal liability insurance facilities need public liability insurance the organisers might still be sued personally. It is actually cheaper to repair the wanton acts of destruction than pay for all the above. The current adult generation created the blame someone, its not my fault, compensation culture. Well, you have the results, no one is prepared to take responsibility. |

quoteWhat do you suggest? |

| Weyy beast |
Eya right peter y dont u just get a life n stop complainin ur soooooooo miserable u sound like a rite old fart! quotey dont they giv us summat decent to do . well it was only a suggestion u av probably crushed r clarebear 2 bits! hiya southie x x x |

| grandad |
You lot are doing nobody any favours. You say there is nothing to do in Silsden! But I put it to you,What have You done to get something to do in silsden? I suspect that the answer will be nothing. |
|
| Peter |
Weyy beast You did read the comments? - What do you want to be provided in Silsden for people like yourselves? and don't be abusive or rude. If you want something provided then tell us all what you want and perhaps do something about it. It's no good complaining there is nothing to do and talking amongst yourselves. |
|

"The current adult generation created the blame someone, its not my fault, compensation culture. Well, you have the results, no one is prepared to take responsibility." Just as it is ridiculous to blame all "youths" for certain problems it is also unhelpful to blame "the current adult generation" for the culture of today. Why don't we stop blaming each other and take responsibility for our own actions - no matter what the age. Let's stop expecting other people to do things for us and do things for ourselves.......or does that sound too difficult? |

look why dont you all simmer down. people have been hanging around in the park for years. if you ask me its got better rather than worse. at least nowadays you can walk through the park with your kids and not find syringes and things like that. ask for the police if they leave the kids to have there cans most do tidy up after there selfs. and if you dont believe that yourselfs ask the park ranger swat team. get the facts first before you start wingeing. how long was it since you were young>? |
|
| jammin_208 |
no matter what the youths say the want they wont get it. the council is to busy spending all the taxes on a rite load of s h i t e !!!! you know im rite all these excuses about it being to expensive truth is nobody can be bothered funny how keighley has a basketball court especially for our mates the locals of victoria park!!!! explain that one!!! |

| grandad |
The youth council are about to build a scateboard park and have some rocks for the trials bikers. Hothfield st school have got a lot of money and are starting anytime now building a multi use gym area behind the fire station. What have you winging lot done to get what ever it is that you want? If the youths that drink in the park DID clean up after themselves then the park wouldn't be littered with cans and broken bottles. Yes I was young once, I did not hang around the streets/park wasting my hard earned money on booze and fags. |
