I am deeply troubled by the Neighbourhood Plan's lack of engagement with youth and young adult perspectives. This demographic is crucial to the future of our community, yet their voices seem conspicuously absent from the proposal. By failing to incorporate their needs and aspirations, we are missing a significant opportunity to foster a vibrant, forward-thinking community. Young people should have access to spaces where they can study, socialise, and engage in creative pursuits. Therefore, we must revise the plan to embed mechanisms for youth engagement and prioritise facilities that cater specifically to them.
