Yesterday on the show, as part of our Local Challenge, we looked at youth facilities across the North East, asking whether young people have enough places to meet, socialise and take part in activities in their own communities.
We explored what’s available locally and whether more needs to be done to give teenagers positive outlets and safe spaces.
Today, we’re bringing that conversation to Drogheda, focusing on anti-social behaviour as we approach Halloween. At this time of year, concerns around public order and the impact on local communities often come into focus, raising questions about how best to tackle the problem and what role youth services, local facilities and community initiatives can play.
So, what are the main challenges facing Drogheda, and what more can be done to support young people while ensuring residents feel safe in their own communities?
Mayor of Drogheda, Declan Power, joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
