We have a problem of underage drinkers in Stenson Fields.  They hang around the play areas that are for little kids.  They smash glass over and around the equipment and litter the area.  The Stenson Fields Parish Council provides a lengthsman to clear up this mess, but are we not just sweeping the problem under the carpet?  Barely in mind that we do not have limitless funds shouldn't we provide somewhere for the kids to go, something for them to to do?  Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Hi. I am a childminder and can't take my children to the childrens play areas because they are too dangerous. There is so much broken class and cigarette ends and the graffiti is awful! These places attract teenagers as do the subways which are in the same condition! 

 The Parish Council does employ lengthsmen who pick up litter up to four times a week in the Parish.  They also report problem areas to the Council every month.  They do a great job but unfortunately we don't have the resources to have them go out every day.
