Street Life
Hirwaun is not the tidiest of places - it's a bit rough in some areas. There's a lot of crime and drug abuse.
There's not many facilities around Hirwaun for the youth. It causes a lot of vandalism, underage drinking.
There's a lot of trouble around Hirwaun so you have to try and stay out of it all. I'd like to lower the amount of drug abuse and try to make better facilities for the younger people - more appropriate facilities.
On a good day you can find things to do. You don't have to get in trouble.
In my spare time I go out with all the boys and hang round the streets. I do quite a bit of rugby training. I play for Cynon Valley, train for the youth side.
I like to be out. I don't like staying in the house. I like to be out as much as possible.
