Young people hang around the streets because they have nothing better to do. In terms of facilities, it seems as though Croftfoot and King's Park are always last in the queue! Castlemilk shouldn't be the only area to benefit. We must have investment in community centres and sporting facilities which are accessible to the young people of King's Park and Croftfoot. 

One Ashcroft Drive resident said: "The lack of leisure facilities concerns me as there does not appear to be anything for the teenagers to do - causing them to hang around in big crowds - this can be very intimidating indeed."

Parents must feel that their kids are safe when out and about and people must not be frightened to walk to or from the shops, bus stop or train station! There must be greater levels of responsive community policing.

Euan McCreath gives a commitment that he will take every effort to tackle these important matters to improve the quality of life for everyone in the King's Park ward.
