Rejected petition Build and fund youth institutions for creative arts in the Cynon Valley
The youth of South Wales (particularly in the Cynon Valley) are desperate for institutions to be built supporting creative arts.
It is absolutely obvious that such developments would keep young people occupied and progressing intillectually outside of school hours.

I am a member of a few struggling local groups that support the spectrum of creative arts.
There are no stable locations for these groups to meet.
There is nowhere for us to turn for help and we fear that the very talented youth will suffer as a result.
We need to start building up our towns with the intention to accommodate and support young people.
This is also an opportunity to employ older individuals.
