Oval Youngsters Have their Say

Youngsters at the Oval in Upper Gornal are having their say on the activities and facilities they would like to see in the area.

The consultation followed an initial chat with residents that highlighted a gap in provision leading to it becoming a priority for Dudley Council’s Neighbourhood Manager Judith Bennett. She set up a partnership steering group with Barnardos, Dudley CVS, CEDD to explore ideas for consulting with children and young people. Funding was secured by Dudley Youth Council from the Local Network Fund to appoint consultant organisation "Play Train" to carry out the work.

So far children aged four to 11 have been consulted and a list of recommendations has been produced. The children wanted the chance to take part in arts and crafts, dancing, reading and to have a safe play. Twelve to 16-year-olds are currently being consulted and action plans for the recommendations will be developed in the coming months.

Last night children in both age groups gave a presentation to the North Dudley Area Committee, more details of which will appear on Yampy shortly.

For further information contact: Judith on (01384) 342818.
