Youth Groups in Chelmsford

So if you don't live in Chelmsford (that is the one in England by the way if you're american and your ancestors wanted to make looking on google maps difficult)  or you don't have some funny obsession with the place, you might be aware that due to 'budget cuts' the local government plans to shut down some local youth groups. Why? Good question. As far as we can tell the only reason is budget cuts, but as to why they are happening is because the economy is in the bad dispite the fact that the recession is arguably winding down. But the real question I wish to ask, 'whats the money being spent on?" I heard of a recent plan to rebuild the local council run leisure center Riverside, a crap idea because a) the facilities are fine there, well the cafe is shite, but there's a Tesco and a McDonalds within spitting distance so everything cool with that. B) because the time its being shut down it could be reeling in more money that will not be made up for by the nonexistent hype of a new one and C)because there are better things you can do with the £21m sum that being estimated for such a pointless venture. Then there's the big computer screens by the bus stops along my road dispite the fact that no one I ever knew wanted these things because any one with a watch can tell you what time which bus comes, they couldn't be cheep to implement and still don't make the buses any less late. But nice to know that the local council regards flashy nonsensical technology over giving the local youth something to do other than the things they barrate them for.

In conclusion while I don't believe my local youth group is the most important thing ever concerning the budget, id like to know why. If they were to shut down the youth centers Id want everyone involved in the budget cuts to come to each one they shut down to explain what they are spending the money on and explain why each costs so much and look each in the eye and say its worth it.
