South Tyneside residents invited to debate views on anti-social behaviour and safety
Residents of South Tyneside are invited to share their views on women’s safety and anti-social behaviour in an intergenerational debate next month.
South Tyneside residents are being encouraged to join in an intergenerational debate for adults and young people.
The debate is being organised by the South Tyneside Youth Council at the South Shields Council Chambers on Tuesday, October 13.
A poster shared ahead of the event lists the following topics/statements which will be debated:
“Women are just being dramatic, men feel just as unsafe on public transport.”
“Drug and alcohol use is more of an adult issue.”
“Young people gathering at the beach don’t cause problems.”
“Social media posts help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.”
Age Concern Tyneside South (ACTS), a local charity, is helping to bring together people of all ages for the debate.
The charity shared the event online with the message: “We’re bringing together people of different ages to share views, challenge assumptions and build stronger connections across generations. This is a chance to listen, learn and have your voice heard on topics that matter to our community.
“Places are limited. To reserve your spot, please contact Laura Kate Johnson via [email protected].
“We welcome anyone interested in community, connection and honest conversation. Please feel free to share this post with colleagues, partners and local networks who might be interested.”
