Since May 2011, our team of youth workers have been working on the ground developing relationships with young people, consulting with the community and getting to the root of why 'The POD' was never opened. The conclusion unfolds a blame game with many statutory and VCS organisations and personnel involved. We are not in a position to comment on this, however what we do know is that this whole process has damaged the community considerably, it is long term and the results are there for all to see. The area is a crime hotspot, drugs is a big issue and crime is on the rise. As a community organisation, we can only but try and develop some grass roots intervention and further prevention to stop these issues escalating. We cannot do this on our own, we need everyone to get together and support us with this project.
It has taken over 16 months, since our initial involvement, numerous meetings with personnel from all sectors, it seems we are finally in a position to refurbish 'The POD' and open it for local young people and the community.
Needless to say, the hard work starts now........
