‘I really think there should be a form of national service, but more like the Italians do it.

‘So it wouldn’t be military, instead people could drive ambulances, work with the National Trust, Forestry Commission, dare I even suggest RNLI or coastguard.

‘Force new build areas to have youth groups again. At least a play park for the older children.

‘A lot of people on our estate complain about the kids but they have nothing to do – no where to go so get up to trouble. If they just had a few activities to do to pass time I’d be better!’
