Fast Politics Event - 23rd October 2012

The LCC Young People’s Service (Hyndburn Youth Council) hosted "Fast Politics 2012" on Tuesday 23rd of October from 6.00pm – 9.30pm in the Ball Room of Accrington's Town Hall. The event was held to mark Democracy Week and was to encourage young people from across the district to come and engage with key decision makers from the County and Hyndburn Councillors along with members of the Children and Young Peoples' Trust.

The event had presentations from the Youth Council, open consultation on key issues to include drug and alcohol misuse and a chance for the young people to engage with Councillors one-to-one to push what are seen to be the most current and pressing issues. A diverse group of young people attended from the Schools, Young People's Service and voluntary youth provision and some of the young people were very direct in their opinions and views.
