Teenagers protest against threat to youth centres

A demonstration against cuts to Devon's youth centres takes place in Exeter this morning.


There's widespread concern about the future of the centres - used by many vulnerable youngsters and those with special needs - after the county council said it was pulling out of running them.

The Devon youth parliament is campaigning to save the centres and has organised this morning's protest march.

They say they've researched the effects of cuts to youth centres elsewhere and found that young people were experiencing problems as a result.
