There is alot of time and money being spent in norris green and croxteth with new community centres, training centres and housing being built, but it is a slow and long process that will take quite a few more years to sort out.
All this talk about kids having nothing to do is a load of b#ll. There is plenty to do, but these yobs don't even try to do anything. They like causing damage and beating people up, they just use the 'nothing to do' excuse to try and justify it. Yes, when I was a kid I also got bored at times, but I didn't go around vandalising property and messing with guns, why?, because I was brought up properly by parents who cared about me and tought me what is right and wrong.
You can educate kids in school as much as you want, but if they have parents that basically don't give a sh#t, they are more than likely going to become just like their parents, no job, 10 kids and a foul attitude.

The only way to stop this cycle of what is basically child neglect is to use social services alot more. If a parent has a young child (say between 6-16) and they let them do what they want and don't care where they are or what they are doing, social services should become involved because they are neglecting to care for their child. Benefits could then be cut or even stopped altogether. This would have a huge effect in cutting yobish behaviour and stopping the cycle of deprivation.
