Protesters at the Town Hall voiced their concerns about a council review that might threaten the future of the Coldharbour Adventure Play Centre. This facility serves as a crucial safe space for youth, providing varied activities while being free and professionally staffed. Advocates warn that proposed changes could lead to cuts, jeopardizing the centre's essential role amid a background of youth violence. The campaign seeks to ensure that the council involves the youth in decision-making, emphasizing the need for structured environments over unstaffed open spaces, which could endanger families reliant on such facilities.
‘The Coldharbour Adventure Play Centre is not just a facility; it’s a lifeline for children and families, offering structured, supervised environments essential for their safety and development.’
Campaigners emphasize that removing staffed play centres could severely impact families depending on these safe spaces, as unstaffed areas lack supervision and structured support for vulnerable youths.
