WAY/UKYP Candidate - Barney King -North Wiltshire
Hi there, I'm Barney. I'm 16 and I am a student at Hardenhuish Sixth Form.
I believe there are issues affecting both young people and the local area which need to be tackled. Please read on to find out a little bit more about some of the things I would like to change...
1) Activities & Events
-
A suitable Friday night alternative
-
Greater range of affordable youth activities and events within the county
-
Council funding of more permanent youth bases in Wiltshire; somewhere to go to meet other young people, get advice and take part in activities
2) Transport
-
A reduction in the price of public transport for young people, including child fares up to the age of 18
-
Giving rural areas greater access to public transport
-
FREE transport for all those who require it to and from schools
3) Health
-
The inclusion of a wider range of activities in Physical Education lessons in schools
-
Reduction in the price of healthier food choices in schools
-
Free access to more leisure/ sports activities rather than just swimming
4) Your say
-
Greater involvement of schools and local young people's organisations in decision making
-
Promotion of these groups, as well as new opportunities to have your views represented
Vote Barney and I will get busy making these things happen!
