Mosquitos, no not the winged variety but a gadget which has been installed, (4,000) outside shops due to anti-social behaviour is apparently regarded now as a more serious nuisance to children. Al Aynsley Green the Children’s Commissioner has joined forces with Liberty to outlaw the use of mosquito alarms as the buzzing noise it emits can hurt the ears of anyone under 20.
We would agree that there is a genuine problem here as it doesn’t just create a problem for anti-social youths but innocent people under 20, including babies. In a sense it somehow misses the point that the problem of anti-social behaviour committed by youths is merely moved on elsewhere and doesn’t solve the problem.
As we have writen before there is a real need for local and national government to provide facilities for youth so that they do not become bored and hang about outside off licenses and supermarkets.
So let’s see some policies for youths from local government councillors and mayors to create youth facilities and youth activities.
