I am standing for WAY and UKYP this year and I will be campaigning on these issues:

2. I think transport should be made free or be cheaper for young people across Wiltshire so that they can get to and from school without worrying about money.

4. I think young people should be involved in writing their school's anti-bullying policy.

If you agree with any of these ideas then vote for Josh! Thanks.
