Young
People
on
Housing
Estates
Well-planned
play
facilities
and
your
provision
can
help
reduce
crime
on
housing
estates
as
well
as
enhance
the
lives
of
young
residents,
but
many
estates
have
poor
or
non-existent
ser-
vices
and
equipment.
Crowing
up
on
Housing
Estates,
a
report
by
N~It;R~’s
Crime
Prevention
Advisory
Committee,
proposes
a
co-ordinated
response
to
the
social,
recreational
and
play
needs
of
youngsters
on
estates,
combining
central
and
local
government,
voluntary
organisations
and
community
groups.
Among
recommendations,
the
report
proposes
that
all
local
authorities
should
establish
a
Play
and
Youth
Poli-
cy
Group
to
co-ordinate
services
and
encourage
neighbourhood
initiatives
to
plan
and
manage
facilities.
Safe
play
areas
should
be
available
close
to
home,
protected
from
motor
vehicles,
as
well
as
supervised
adventure
play
areas
for
older
children.
Special
consid-
eration
should
be
paid
to
single
parent
households
and
the
needs
of
families
in
multi-storey
blocks.
Examples
of
provi-
sion
in
London,
Newcastle,
Not-
tingham
and
elsewhere
are
detailed.
