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!
