Grafitti and Poo

As members of the youth population in Congleton, we think that there should be more bins as a majority of our streets have rubbish scattered at their edges. We also think there should be a graffiti wall at the skate park to reduce the amount of illegal graffiti but to keep it away from young child areas. In addition, we believe there should be more dog bins with dog poo bag dispensers so people can pick their dogs mess up without excuse. Furthermore, there should be more work in the community schemes to increase respect and to train the youth of Congleton so that they have better chances later on in life. Also police and other emergency services should offer talks in schools and youth clubs to create respect and awareness. We all believe that these issues need to be addressed to improve the quality of the streets of Congleton. One motto that we can follow is ‘Keep it clean, keep it green‘, this can ensure an eco-friendly town to be used and enjoyed by our generation for years to come.
