I AM a local teenager and I live near to the ex-Kingsway Baths. I think the baths should be used for something for young people such as myself as there is nothing to entertain local 14, 15, 16-year-olds.

I think it should contain a youth club, or an ice rink. I think an ice rink would attract plenty of tourism as I go ice skating a lot, but I have to go all the way to Blackpool or Blackburn. If there was an ice rink here a lot of people would go use it.

Also a youth club or something would be good for the people who are too young to go to pubs and too old to go to afternoon clubs. If you are my age, it is more difficult to travel and it would be convenient for the area's teenage population to be able to get there and back easily. I hope whatever they decide to do with Kingsway, it will be for us too, not something boring that no-one will enjoy.
