Written by on 22nd February 2025

A lack of activities for young people in Harborough and environmental issues have been raised after 25 youngsters joined a new Youth Council.

The group has been created by Harborough District Council to give people aged 11 to 18 a voice, so they can raise and discuss issues of concern and comment on matters from a young person’s perspective.

Cllrs Darren Woodiwiss & Buddy Anderson have championed setting up the Youth Council

The council is delighted with the number of young people who have stepped forward to join the group.

Cllr Buddy Anderson, the district council’s Young Person’s Champion, was at the first meeting and spoke to HFM about what was raised:
