Why Regeneration?

Why do we need to focus on regeneration and getting people involved with community and green space?

It is important to focus on regeneration as it is something that can benefit everyone in an community. Regeneration can provide opportunities and make changes for the better, it can make a difference. Getting people involved will bring the community together and they would be helping to regenerate something that will be worthwhile and beneficial for them. Currently, teenagers in Baldock don't have a safe place where they can go and hang out with friends or do various leisure activities. Regenerating somewhere underused for teenagers to go will stop the stereotypical opinion people have of teenagers as they wouldn't be hanging around near supermarkets or down streets anymore. If teens have somewhere to go then they might want to be involved with activities that will take place there and they will want to be involved with the regeneration as it will be for them. They would be able to make new friends. Even though we are not regenerating a green space, it is also very important to regenerate them as areas that are overgrown and not even used could be used for any age group when regenerated.
