Purpose:
To consider partnership proposals for a Medway
Youth Bus.
Decision:
187/2005 The Cabinet approved the proposal to
operate a Youth Bus as set out in the report.
188/2005 The Cabinet approved the underwriting of the funding of
the scheme by a virement of resources from funding allocated to the
Yellow Bus initiative.
Reasons for the decision:
The Medway Council Residents' Opinion Poll
cited a lack of activities for teenagers as one of the contributing
factors in anti-social behaviour. The draft review of the Community
Plan identified youth diversion as an important mechanism in
dealing with anti-social behaviour. The Youth Bus can be a
significant additional resource to addressing these issues and is
in keeping with the Community Plan.The proposed Youth Bus is a
positive contribution to the youth and community safety agenda and
an example of creative partnership working to make the most of
broad community assets.
