Young People

 

 

 

Whilst many 11-18 year olds appreciate that Stoke St Gregory is a good place to live, there appears to be a need for improved leisure facilities in the form of a meeting place, a hard surface sports area and a greater variety of clubs. Better public transport is needed for young people to access facilities in nearby towns.

Many over 14’s would like to work in the village, but need to know how to obtain a job. Over half of respondents would like the opportunity for young people’s voices to be heard in local decision-making.

About 30 young people stated a preference for the amenities as detailed in the diagram on the next page.
