Deputy Leader attends Hyndburn Youth Council elections

Deputy Leader of Hyndburn Borough Council, Cllr Paul Cox, attended the elections of a new Member of the Youth Parliament to represent the young people of East Lancashire on 9th March.
 
The candidates were drawn from members of the area's Youth Council. Several members of this council were attempting to be elected to the three available seats: Hyndburn, Ribble Valley and Rawtenstall. The event took place at Accrington Town Hall within the council chambers.

Cllr Cox (who also represents Milnshaw) said, "What an inspiration these young people are, they all spoke with great courage and determination on subjects that were really important to them. If this is the standard set by our Youth Council then we should be very proud of the next generation."

If you wish to look at who was successfully elected then please have a look at Hyndburn Youth Council and see all the hard work, projects and campaigns this group are involved in.
