I, as an elder member of Cranbourne, should like to express a concern regarding the youth in our community.
It has been said that even if one can afford to buy a house, there is no way it can be maintained unless both are employed.
There is also the concern about birth rates falling.
Just how are they supposed to cope with all this, on top of rising prices?
How, in fact, are young people supposed to meet in the first place?
I have lived in Cranbourne for over thirty years and I have yet to see a B&S (Bachelor & Spinster Ball) being organised, speed dating or even a dance.
We are told that young people these days go on the internet.
Those who have tried social media, quickly become disillusioned and just give up.
I have a nephew who said that B S functions held at the Rod Laver Arena were lots of fun, so why can we not organise ‘fun’ for young people in Casey?
If we don’t, we will soon have a population resembling Sweden which has a reputation for its lonely citizenry.
