  Gary there is a fine balance in all these things, however I am with you in looking to purchase more locally particularly from small independents.
  Of course if we all did this then the national chains would have to contract and shut stores putting people out of work, not all of whom would necessarily pick up jobs from the independents as they expanded.
  Regarding youth problems we need to work as communities with local authorites and other providers to provide:
  
  Youth centres/cafes
  Mentoring schemes
  Skills coaching sessions
  Activities that give them a sense of ownership of their community
  Use of schools at weekends and evenings for community activities
