To consider a report submitted by the Marple Memorial Park ASB Working Group.

The report provides information relating to a capital funding bid for monies to cover the cost of a youth group open evening in early April 2016. The event is designed to showcase a 10-week piece of work undertaken by group of young people to scope options for future youth engagement and activity in the Marple area. The aim is to identify alternative activities for young people in order to reduce anti-social behaviour in the area.

The Area Committee is requested to note the report.
