Young people make their voices heard at MP's youth forum

November 26, 2008 1:26 PM

Last week South Lakes MP Tim Farron ran another of his regular youth forums. The youth forum, which has been running successfully since 2005, was set up to give the area's young people a chance to make their voices heard on the matters that affect them.

This year's youth forum was no exception, with nearly 30 students from secondary schools and colleges across the South Lakes joining Mr Farron last Thursday. The young people discussed topics such as climate change, apathy, education and local transport.

Speaking after the youth forum, Mr Farron said: "I was blown away by the young people's innovative, straight-talking approach to the issues that came up. Their opinions were both incredibly useful and interesting to hear for me as their MP.

"This year's youth forum was proof that our young people really do care about politics."

    If you are a resident of the Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
