Martin has now formally presented a petition to the House of Commons to object to North East Lincolnshire Council's proposals to close youth centres in the borough.
The petition read as follows:
[The Humble Petition of the people of North East Lincolnshire,
Sheweth,
That the proposal of North East Lincolnshire Council to close youth centres in the Borough is unfair to young people who would be forced out onto the streets, which could lead to an increase in antisocial behaviour, and to the staff with up to 24 jobs being lost.
Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your Honourable House urges North East Lincolnshire Council to urgently reconsider their decision to close the aforementioned youth centres.
And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c.]
