Stop the developers from the estate next door from making my friends homeless!

Apparently they've been there for years and they are very rare. Please save my badgers Croydon council!

do you think that there are enough fund raisers that arn't walks? personally I think that there should be more. However half of the problem is that it is hard to think of fund raisers that all people are capable to take part in. in any case I am sure that there are still many possible ones that have not been suggested. YET! I would like to here your views on which ones could work and I am sure that Iam not the only person who would. I was also wondering what charities that you would give the procedings to if it were to happen.

why do teenagers have to use weapons is it to do with the rise in alcahol abuse in young people or drug abuse

compared to the past the amount in the past the amount of sport in schools is very low.can you think of any low-cost ways of increasing the amount of sport in schools.

do you think that there should be this amount of money put into football or do you think that the money could be invested in better things such as the economy. if you think that it should definatly be kept in football why not put it into the grass roots.share your veiws here.

will the economy improve any time soon and if it does what will spark that off

I get so bored after school. My mum moans i play on the computer alot and we get told we are not active enough! i cant play in the park because my mum thinks its dangerous but Brownies cost too much money. Are there free clubs that i can go to. i want to do fun things! go on outings and see things! My mum takes me nowhere!!!

It would be nice to have a ice skating rink in Croydon so young people can have something to do in there spare time.

do we have enough safe parks in Croydon for families and young children to play and enjoy outside play? Some of the parks in Croydon are occupied by homeless drunks or bigger kids doing drugs and drinking alcohol or for groups of teenagers to hang out....they cant be moved on by community police due to dispersal constraints....bring back the park wardens to monitor park activity and make them safer for all to enjoy!

I think there should be a fun swimming palace where kids can have fun, whilst keeping fit. Somewhere like water palace, with lots and lots of slides.

Where do young people hang out? Should there be more stuff to do?
