What's next for Drongan?

23 June
  • The shelter was a welcome addition to the town - what should be next?
Last year, local community workers installed the shelter in the park in the centre of town, providing a welcome addition.

So what else do we need to see in Drongan - what would be the next useful addition to the town?

Do we need more amenities - a swimming pool? Something more for kids? Or maybe things are just fine as they are?

Forget wasting money on things like a shelter and focus more on community integration and awareness programmes.

Unfortunately, in our society in the rural areas of Scotland we have this mentality of having rivalry with other villages which inevitably leads to violence between these communities.

I would love to see these local politicians spend more time and funds on creating programmes, starting with the parents in local community centres, and then in primary schools and secondary schools in order to eradicate this problem that we still have nowadays.

With respect to social integration programmes, I would like to see programmes for teenagers, especially regarding drug abuse and use. Instead of turning a blind eye to the social problems, get your finger out and do something.

It takes all the community to do something about this and hopefully our local councillor will do his bit as well.

'Rivalry with other villages'? Spending money on social integration..? Personally i would say that villages now get along a lot better nowadays than it was in the past. As for drugs, a lot more 'real life' education and help directed at the younger generation, kids from 12yrs and up are now getting hooked on drugs and is becoming the norm at such a young age now!
