Chelmsford Young People's Survey: priorities for local action
This survey arises from a number of discussions that Stephen Robinson has had with young people locally. Views are welcome from any young people in Chelmsford. The aim is to address the frequent comment that "there is not enough for young people to do in Chelmsford".
| 10 ideas were particularly popular amongst young people at Moulsham High school. These can be grouped under three headings. So which TYPE of project should we pursue?
|
|
| Issues affecting Chelmsford's environment | |
| New facilities for young people | |
| Particular help for young people | |
| If "local environmental issues", which should we pursue?
|
|
| More trees in Chelmsford | |
| Protect open spaces from development | |
| Fewer cars | |
| More cycleways | |
| Clean up the town centre | |
| Other:
|
|
| If "new facilities projects", which should we pursue?

| A beach in central park | |
| Other:

Issues mentioned but not included in the poll
Many other ideas were suggested for local action. However, when people voted, they were not as popular as those listed above. Here are the other ideas, with some explanatory comments at the end.
Other possibilities and issues
Lights in Central Park by the skate ramp
Wardens in the parks / more police so we feel safer
More recycling
Clean up the river
More sports facilities
Cleaner toilets / more toilets in town
Graffiti wall
More bins in the High Street / "fun" litter bins e.g. frogs
Chewing gum bins
CCTV in the High Street that "talks" to you
CCTV in parks
Snooker club
Tour buses
One night at the Odeon specifically for 14-16s
More buses Sundays and evenings
Mini moto track
Encourage girls to cycle
Paint ball venue
Internet cafe
More youth shelters
More music concerts like V festival
More Christmas lights
Improve the Melbourne area
The police are too heavy handed/stop people for no reason
Ideas requiring National action
Tax on pollution (that's a Lib Dem policy)
Renewable energy generation (that's also a Lib Dem policy!)
Not included
- A second cinema - this is outside council control and it would be too expensive. But we could lobby the Odeon for different films. Also note that Cramphorn Theatre (by the bus station) does show the less popular films. Lobby them too!
- A Primark - this is a commercial decision, not something the council can really influence
- Wider range of lessons and subjects to choose at school / no uniform / shorter school hours. Outside council control: the school council and parents could discuss these with teachers.
- Tram in the town centre. They are very expensive and Chelmsford not large enough to make it pay. But we can consider things like better buses.
