outh Centre being included within the Uplands redevelopment in Sevenfields. It has been agreed that evening youth facilities will be part of the facilities at the newly named 'The Meadow' centre.
Andy says "I am extremely happy that we've been able to deliver on one of my 2010 election promises. Fighting for the locality centre was always a stepping-stone towards getting local evening youth facilities for our children and I'm proud this is now going to happen."
Support also came from local people across the area, with hundreds of signatures on Andy's Youth Centre Petition earlier this year.
The long fight to get a Fair Share of Youth Facilities for Penhill Ward residents kicked off last year when Andy started the battle against Labour to get the former Upland's site redeveloped as the base for the council's locality teams. Local Labour fervently opposed this and wanted the centre to go to either Pinehurst or Even Swindon.
