IF Laura Bailey is so concerned (Letters, February 7) about the young people who frequent Henthorn Park and Henthorn Road, Clitheroe, having nowhere to meet, I suggest they meet in Henthorn Community Centre.
Then the £5,000 allocated for the erection of a youth shelter could be used to update the facilities or given to Trinity Youth Club, thus enabling it to open more than one evening a week.
Unfortunately, I do not think she would approve of my idea as Henthorn Community Centre is situated in the centre of the senior citizens' bungalow complex in which she lives.
She will also be aware that Ribble Valley Council erected a high fence with locked gates around part of the complex because the senior citizens were being harassed and property damaged.
I do not understand why these teenagers cannot invite friends to their homes. The parents would know where their children are doing.
The residents who live around the park and Henthorn Road, people who use the public footpaths in the park and Henthorn Road would be spared the noise, petty vandalism and foul language, etc.
