Some good news from last night’s Stratford upon Avon Town Council meeting.
I proposed that we look at bringing back our Stratford-upon-Avon Youth Town Council. It ran successfully for three years, from 2020 to 2023, but sadly we couldn’t sustain the interest to keep it going.
Now, thanks to Josh Turner, who came and spoke so passionately about it at yesterday’s meeting, we may be able to get it back up and running. It’s exactly the kind of energy this needs.
The plan is to set up a working group in the new term, and crucially we want to invite young people along to tell us how they want it to operate and what they want from it. This has to be shaped by them, not for them.
Watch this space, and thank you Josh for the push. This is what youth voice looks like.
