  9. Community needs • The most important community need in Barnet is greater provisions for youth The youth club down the road was burnt down, that’s what’s most needed Youth clubs- a lot of them just seem to be wandering the streets with nothing to do Youth clubs- the kids are bored out of their skulls Youth provision- some sort of amusement or entertainment to keep them off the streets I don’t see any police around Solving crime, at the moment, that’s what’s annoying everyone Scouts, clubs, Brownies have all gone missing I feel that women are in danger when they are walking the streets at night and there is a lot of car theft going on After school clubs would be good for the kids

Conclusion • Generally encouraging signs for local churches • Positive signs for Barnet • Importance of provision for young people in Barnet • The Police are considered the most effective organisation in supporting groups and dealing with issues in Barnet • Working together locally to address the key issues
