Listening to Young People

L

I am really pleased that a local Youth Commission has been set up in Northfield, to help improve facilities for young people locally and – just as important- to listen to what young people themselves are saying.  The Commission should help identify how young people in Northfield can make best use of the extra money which the Labour Government is has made available to improve facilities for young people – whether through the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund or the new Young Peoples Fund created from the Lottery.
