Ashmore Park Youth Workers

Councillor Phil Bateman said “Much has been made of the problems of Ashmore Park with some kids causing problems, but the other side of the coin is the solid work that is taking place with the Ashmore Park Youth Club and a band of energetic youth workers who have worked very hard to provide a range of facilities for the youth of the Estate.

Here are the activities and I am so pleased that these activities are taking place. I would like to place on record my appreciation of Cas Simpson and his colleagues who are obviously making a difference here.”
