Matters Arising # Although Gary was not present he left suggestions from council officers with regards to the money that is ring fenced for youth provision, The
officers suggested a muga all weather play surface at Craigbank School plus a skate park in Fairfield park.

Whatever the outcome these must be decided as soon as possible.

To add to this point some teenagers have come up with their own suggestions for indoor activities associated with a youth drop in, These activities include Pool
tables, plat station, boxing club and out door designated youth seating areas, football team and discos for 15-17yrs.

I will pass this information to Gary and ask him to take this project forward, (KT).
