CLEETHORPES MP Martin Vickers has presented a petition to parliament opposing the planned redundancies at North East Lincolnshire Council's Young People's Support Services.
As previously reported, 41 jobs are to go as part of ongoing budget cuts at the authority.
A total of 135 employees were involved in a consultation aimed at saving £920,000 from the service's budget.
The move has prompted fears for the future of the borough's six young people's centres, which will no longer be manned by council staff.
However, the authority is hoping to have new providers running them by the start of the autumn term.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Vickers said: "I rise to present a petition on behalf of petitioners from the Haverstoe and Croft Baker wards in Cleethorpes and the wider area of north-east Lincolnshire, who are greatly concerned at proposals from North East Lincolnshire Council to close youth centres in the borough and, in the jargon, to reconfigure the council's youth services.
"Four of the centres are in the neighbouring constituency of Great Grimsby, but of the two in the Cleethorpes constituency, one has acceptable alternative provision but the centre known as "Trin" in Trinity Road, Cleethorpes, is greatly valued by local youngsters.
"I have visited it on a number of occasions and on one of those occasions was accompanied by the Humberside police commissioner, Matthew Grove who, like me, was extremely supportive of the work done there by the youth leader Cazzie Adams and her team.
"The petitioners believe the proposals are "unfair to young people" and could lead to an increase in antisocial behaviour and the loss of "up to 24 jobs".
They urge the council to urgently reconsider their decision to close the youth centres."
