How to make Frankston a better place

Frankston city is known well in the Melbourne area. Everyone talks about Frankston with positive and negative remarks regarding mainly its safety and facilities. Frankston is the end of the train line so it gets a lot of visitors who are all races, religion, age and it also attracts a lot of druggies. Frankston is known for all its bad points like violence and drugs, but this view needs to change.

Frankston is a big city and has a lot of residents so you can just imagine how many people roam the streets during the day and especially the homeless at night. Everybody has the right to food and shelter no matter what their, race, gender, religion or even their age. Everyone who has been brave enough to walk through Frankston at night has seen the many people dressed poorly, looking ill and sleeping on the streets. Why should these people have to do this? They shouldn't, they have the right to speak up but nothing is being done. They need a nice warm shelter that provides them with food. I think the solution to this is building a homeless centre, this would benefit Frankston and surrounding towns.

Frankston is known is known for its drug dealers and alcohol drinkers. There are many roaming the streets making it unsafe for the local community to go to Frankston. The many crimes that are committed in Frankston are committed by people on drugs and people who are intoxicated with alcohol. We need to get these people off the streets as they are a threat and danger to the community. I'm sure if your son or daughter went into Frankston you wouldn't want them going if they were going to be surrounded by drunk and druggies or even worse them taking drugs and drinking themselves.

Frankston needs to get rid of its bad name. Building the homeless shelter and a rehab centre will make a significant impact and improvement in Frankston. This resulting in getting all the homeless people, drunk and druggies of the street making it safer for the society and making it safer for them.
