Forward-thinking children have compiled a "wish list" of youth facilities they want to see on Canvey.
If granted, a water park, ice rink and bowling alley would be just a few attractions to arrive on the island.
They have handed their list to MP Bob Spink after he held an assembly at the Cornelius Vermuyden School, Dinant Avenue, about anti-social behaviour.
Some 180 11-years-old, are behind the list ideas and Mr Spink believes dreams can become reality. He said: "The general response was there were too few facilities and nothing for the kids to do.
"I think the whole community is now becoming much more aware of the lack of youth facilities and we need to provide these without any further delay."
