Please don't turn MeadowBank into a ConcreteBank
from: Resident_R
posted 15/10/09
The clue to all this is in the name:'Meadowbank'.
This is simply the wrong location for any kind of concrete construction. It's a no-brainer in my opinion.
On top of this local residents are already blighted by late night noise, s...

Meadowbank

I think the proposal of creating 'youth facilities' in the lower part of Meadowbank is going to do nothing more than increase the suffering of the poor residents of Rothes/Ansell Rd, who endue late night antisocial behaviour on a regular bas...

Meadowbank is wrong location
from: edtate
posted 14/12/08
Meadowbank has for many years been enjoyed by all age groups as a green space, and provided a safe environment for all age groups, especially families. The proposed youth facilities would deprive the whole community of this area of green space which i...

I agree with Ed. What is the policy on removing green space and replacing it with concrete? There are issues with siting the facility at either end of the park. I live near the existing skate ramp and it's noisy enough already in the summer. Also,...

I generally agree with the proposals but think that you have completely chosen the wrong end of meadowbank yet again, this development needs to be at the top of meadowbank.The cctv needs to be seen to be working, and as residents we have seen little ev...

Meadowbank Youth Facility
from: AAParkway
posted 30/11/08
We agree more needs to be done for the youth of Dorking, but the location of the facility needs to stay at the top of Meadowbank. The CCTV cameras are ineffective, so building the facilities to be near the cameras is not a solid argument. It is more ...

Youth Area
from: mattandpop
posted 30/11/08
I support the need for the recreation area.
Whilst I agree the area needs to be accessible & agree that the current location of the skate ramp is too remote, passersby should not be in a position where they feel intimidated by large groups of yo...

Unsuitable Location
from: AResident
posted 29/11/08
As a resident that already has to suffer the rowdy, anti-social behaviour that emanates from Meadowbank I object strongly to the placement of a Youth Recreation area within the recreation ground. The drinking, shouting, swearing and screaming regularly...

Meadowbank youth facilities
from: rogerpj
posted 27/11/08
Paul,
Thank you for your letter regarding the Youth Recreation Area at Meadowbank. I believe that new facilities for the youths would be a very good idea. However I do have to object strongly to your proposed location. Meadowbank is a lovely area...

Youth facilities
from: mchillingworth
posted 27/11/08
It saddens me greatly that at long last the teenagers of the town are being considered for more facilities, and once again, the residents of Ansell and Rothes roads are about to ruin things.
The town and its future residents - the teenagers - must n...

Good idea, bad location
from: Thetennantfamily
posted 26/11/08
As parents of children who will eventually use the facilties we are all for making what's on offer for young people better. However, the proposed site is of great concern. As residents of Rothes road, we and more importantly, our young children, a...

I agree that this is a good idea but feel that Meadowbank is an unsuitable location. It is a valuable green space which is an ammenity for all members of the community. This would be greatly compromised if part of it is sectioned off for use by a singl...

I am very much in support of more youth activities and areas for them to go. If there was a cafe and things to do and a place to sit they may not spend so much time in the anti-social activities described by some local residents. The young people of Do...

Location needs changing
from: *resident

At last the council are doing something about facilities for teenagers - fantastic idea and were it not for the proposed site I would be all for it. Better facilities will enable teenagers to do something constructive and no doubt lessen the mis-behavi...

Meadowbank Project
from: dogwalker

As a resident of Rothes Road, I am not happy with any proposed scheme which will increase noise in the park especially during the evenings. All residents at the moment have to put up with young people frequenting the park into the early hours of the m...

While I agree that our youth need to have better facilities. My concern is that the last two/three years we have experienced problems in the park such as parties at 2am people urinating against my back gate etc. Why can it not go in a diferent area j...

I am all for introducing better youth facilities at Meadowbank, however, as a resident in Ansell Road it concerns me that it will drive more youths down our road and we have had a history of anti social behaviour with kids banging and breaking our wind...

Anti Social Behaviour: Cause and Effect
from: Goosey

It is good to see that so many people are in favour of the youth facilities at Meadow Bank, however it seems location is a sticking point due to encouraging more youths and an assumed level of anti social behaviour. Sometimes it pays to work out the...
