More activities needed for young people in Onchan, says commissioner

Follows complaints from parents that there is 'nothing' for their children to do

An Onchan commissioner says the authority needs to be doing more to provide opportunities for young people in the village. 

Scott Wilson would like to expand the premises of the current youth club to try and prevent children turning to crime. 

He believes that keeping young people 'engaged' has benefits for the community in the long run and could cut down on anti-social behaviour. 

Mr Wilson says he's been contacted by a number of parents complaining there's 'nothing' for their children to do.
