National Drugs Strategy 2001-2008: Statements.
More facilities for teenagers – not just sports centres – must be provided. Members mentioned other European countries where young people do not have the same drink culture. We do not provide the types of facilities for young people available in other countries – I do not necessarily mean publicly funded facilities. While on holidays in Italy, I noticed that many young people would hang out in cafés at night and then head off to a club but they did not drink.
