INGLEBY BARWICK YOUTH NEWS
Youth Bus
The Youth bus will now be about on Tuesdays in Tesco car Park from 5.00pm to 6.30pm.
Romano Park Contractor Appointed
The Play Practice, from Stirling, has been chosen as the contractor to design and build Romano Park in Ingleby Barwick. Potential contractors gave presentations to residents, children, councillors and other interested people during September 2008. Detailed designs for Romano Park, the new play space, are now being drawn up.
Romano Park will be a landscaped park with play equipment for children of all ages from toddlers to teenagers. Earlier this year a group of children were invited to get involved in the design process for the park and they were invited along to see the presentations and evaluate them along with other members of the public.
Once the detailed designs have been drawn up it is hoped that work will start on the park in January 2009 and it will be completed by the spring and ready to use in the summer of 2009.
Extra Activities in Ingleby Barwick
Ingleby Barwick's young people now have an extra four hours of activities each week, including a new Thursday Youth Club session. The increase has come about after a survey of local children by council youth workers. Any 12-19-year-olds are welcome at the club, which is supervised by qualified youth workers and offers everything from pool to Wii gaming, table tennis to arts and crafts and cooking to cricket. The new equipment even includes DJ decks for members to use.
The Youth Club takes place at the Ingleby Barwick Community Hall on Haresfield Way on Tuesdays at 5.30-9.30pm, Thursdays at 7.30-9.30pm and Fridays at 6-8.45pm.
Football sessions, led by qualified coaches who are youth workers, also take place at All Saints School on Mondays at 8-9pm, Tuesdays at 6-7pm and Fridays at 6-7pm.
If all goes to plan, a new Youth Café could also be open within the next nine months.
Youth meeting places
Stockton Council is preparing a bid for funding from the Big Lottery for the building of exciting, innovative and world-class youth facilities for young people aged 13 to 19. The Council will be bidding for funding of between £1m and £5m for the project. The Council has asked for the views of as many young people in the Borough as possible on what they would like to see in a new or refurbished building designed just for them. The related on-line survey is now completed but you can still take a look at www.myplaceatstockton.co.uk to see more details.
UK Youth Parliament
The UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) enables young people to use their energy and passion to change the world for the better. Run by young people for young people, UKYP gives the young people of the UK, between the age of 11 and 18 a voice, which is heard and listened to by local and national government, providers of services for young people and other agencies who have an interest in the views and needs of young people. The UK Youth Parliament formed in 1999 and has over 400 elected MYPs representing the country's young people.
To get really involved in the UKYP, Stockton's young people need to be part of the Stockton Youth Assembly. To find out more about the assembly, please contact John Tierney, Citizenship and Democracy Officer on (01642) 528531 or email: john.tierney@stockton.gov.uk

Youth Cafe
In the future Ingleby Barwick will have it's very own Youth Cafe facilities in a temporary building initially located next to the Community Hall in Beckfields.
