Question 140

The town council surveyed 200 teenagers aged 13–18 and 200 adults aged 30 and over. Each person indicated whether they agreed or disagreed with five statements about the town centre.

StatementTeenagers agreeingAdults agreeing
I feel welcome spending time in the town centre.29%74%
There are too few safe, sheltered places for teenagers to meet.68%31%
More teenagers in the town centre would increase antisocial behaviour.22%61%
I would support organised evening activities for teenagers.77%48%
Teenagers are asked for their views before decisions are made.18%52%

A Town for Everyone?

A community magazine is publishing a special issue about who feels welcome in the town centre.

Write an article for the magazine in which you use the survey findings to argue how the town centre could become more welcoming to teenagers without ignoring the concerns of other residents.

You should:

  • compare what the survey suggests about the views of teenagers and adults
  • evaluate the concerns that some residents may have
  • persuade readers to support the changes you think should come first
