Urban Engineering Youth Shelters Provide Perfect ‘Hang-Out’ For Teens
With the long, hot and balmy summer nights
just around the corner, providing young people with a safe and
regulated area to congregate will be an important tool in
helping to reduce levels of anti-social behaviour and improving
community safety.
Installing a Youth Shelter can result in a number of positive
effects both for young people and the wider community, with
levels of crime, disruptive and anti-social behaviour being
reduced and relationships between teens, local residents and
authorities becoming greatly improved.
Popular with local councils and in accordance with The Crime and
Disorder Act 1998, Youth Shelters can provide teenagers with a
designated area of their own to meet and socialise with friends,
which can be easily policed, rather than meeting on street
corners, outside takeaways or bus stops.
The problems commonly associated with bored teenagers has
resulted in the production of a good practice guide, supported
by Thames Valley Police, outlining the need for Youth Shelters
as a means of combating disruptive behaviour by youngsters. One
ensuing recommendation is to design and install a Youth Shelter
in consultation with young people, enabling them to feel
involved in the project from the start and hopefully lead to
long-term use of the facility.
Urban Engineering has worked closely with a number of local
authorities in the past, resulting in having a comprehensive
range of Youth Shelters designed to meet a number the modern
urban environments. With an in-house drawing team, Urban
Engineering can also design bespoke Youth Shelters to meet the
requirements of the site or local young people, resulting in a
flexible and individual product, expertly fitted by our
experienced installation teams.
Manufactured from materials designed to stand up to misuse and
vandalism, Youth Shelters can be finished in a wide range of
cool and striking colours.
