‘Not all spaces are youth friendly’
• From page 1
Said Adams: “We had
youth workers there last year
and other future plans include
having the school’s jazz band
play in the court and displaying
students’ artwork at the mall
as well as a space where young
people hang out and can feel
safe.
“We know not all spaces are
youth friendly and we want to
see what we could be doing as
we would all love to do more,”
he said.
Adams said the trust wants to
be able to connect to students
when they finish school at
2.30pm.
“It has been really good
so far, better than I thought.
We have been approached by
Eastgate
mall to
discuss this,
but the key
thing is
the
relationships
between
malls and the

surrounding
high schools.”
Trust
manager
Hamish Flynn said bus stops
and malls are problematic areas
and, even though they cannot
completely stop problems, there
are things they can put in place
to help.
“We were waiting for
everything to line up and for
funding to be able to start this

programme up again as we
didn’t want to go in alone,”
Flynn said.
“We wanted to go in as a
collective as we saw a significant
drop last year when we

introduced the programme.”
Community board deputy
chair Simon Britten said the
mall has become the place
for youth to go and has been
recognised for future conflicts
to happen after
school.
“The lack
of public
spaces in
the area is a
contributing
factor and, in
my opinion,
it is an unmet
need in the
Papanui area,”
he said.

Britten
Britten said the board began
working collaboratively with
other community and youth
organisations late last year to
help support good behaviour at
the shopping centre.
“We had youth workers at the
mall during term three and four
that helped support positive
behaviour as well as support
mall staff with interactions with
youth.”
He said they have revisited
it this year as it is an ongoing
initiative on the community
board’s radar and it wants to
keep growing it.
“There is a need for a space
for youth to be youth, so future
plans include working on a
youth, health and well-being
space.”
