the existing provision of activities for teenagers as good/excellent (against<br />

14% inner London average) and 43% listed additional provision as a key<br />

priority for giving children a better start in life. Among young people<br />

themselves, 31% felt available activities were good/excellent but 35% rated<br />

them as poor (Residents’ survey 2007).<br />
