There is a significant omission from the LDF Communities section. In the section on Young People (page 99) there is no defined "Preferred Strategy for Young People". This is a major omission, and it is essential that Rother District Council has a strong array of recommendations to positively address the needs of children, teenagers, and young adults. Especially since the under 25 years-of-age represents 25% of the population in Rother.
The Rother Residents Survey of 2006 had the highest priority for the Council to provide "activities for teenagers" (ref page 99 para 10.57) but there has been limited action to address There are a lack of wide ranging opportunities for young people.
It is essential that this section is made robust with a far reaching Preferred Strategy.
