There seems to be a woeful lack in some aspects which are offset only by the hard work and goodwill that allows places such as the excellent youth cafe to continue at present.<br /><br />But surely it's part of the role of the town, county and district councils to help facilitate suitable facilities for all residents as they are after all elected to best serve our various needs?<br /><br />Instead of trying to get facilities by piggy-backing on an oversized supermarket development in the town shouldn't we be holding the councils to account more?
