Hi, I'm Ali Bevan. I sit on lots of different committees in the Bedminster /
Southville area, including Bedminster Area Housing Committee and Bristol's
Housing Management Board.
I am currently involved in the setting up of an Antisocial Behaviour support
line, run by Tenants to help those suffering the effects of ASB.
I strongly feel much more could be done for Youth in our area as this may
lessen some ASB carried out by groups, due to boredom, I would like to see some
space for an intergenerational area with a range of activities to suit all age
groups.
(This has been done on the Bournville Estate, Weston-super-Mare, and makes the
best use of a relatively small piece of land, it incorporates a basketball
court, 3 small play areas for different age groups, a semi enclosed peace
garden, a bandstand - also used as a youth shelter, and lots of flower beds and
benches. It is called Conniston Green and it is valued by the local residents
on an estate which has seen its fair share of bad publicity about ASB, and is
not vandalised.)
