Cabinet member Natasha Whitham
On the youth cabinet we cover things that young people want done and work in groups to tackle these problem or ideas young people and the cabinet have. We work hard to get things done, listening to young people views and discussing our own opinions if there are any disagreements or problems. In my group (Facilities for young people) we are working towards the construction of a skate park and working with the media group to advertise youth clubs.
Thanks,
Natasha.
Cabinet member Matthew Bowcott
We meet up every week and discuss the issues that we have around trafford and how we could fix them. We invite people to our meeting to put these points across but also form a partnership with these groups..
Thanks,
