Organisation: Voices in Action, Derby
Issue: Young people wanted damaged fencing and a sign at the park to be repaired
The situation: Young people wanted the park to maintain a safe environment for children. In particular, they wanted fencing that had come down leading to easy access onto railway lines to be repaired. They also wanted a sharp spike holding a sign to the play area to be fixed or removed. Young people from Voices in Action met with Dawn Dagley, parks liaison officer, to raise their concerns.
What children and young people said: "The kids could be safe again and there would be no more injuries." "Train track ... wouldn't have to watch them anymore and they would be free to play." "I'm pleased 'cause my brother plays there." "Don't have to worry anymore."
