I’m a Councillor… And I’m still here
Yesterday saw the start of the “I’m a Councillor… Get me out of here” competition. For the next two weeks, to coincide with Local Democracy Week 2007, five Bury Council colleagues and I will be answering questions from young people from across the Borough. In the second week one of us will be “voted off” each day, until the eventual winner is crowned Bury’s Youth Champion. This is a national event and there are Councillors from all over the country linking up with schools and colleges in their local areas.
Yesterday I received 8 questions, on a variety of topics from youth crime to skateparks, and from cinema prices to whether or not I like ham! You can see my answers, my manifesto for young people, and all the details about the other competitors and the event itself by visiting the website at www.bigvote.org.uk
