BUILLE HILL HIGH SCHOOL

It was great being able to spend the morning at Buille Hill's Democracy Day. Explaining how the Council worked and all about elections.

The young people, many from Langworthy Ward were toally engaged and asked some fantastic probing questions. They also had a debate on lowering the voting age to 16, which the majority voted in favour of.

Vin Joseph from Democratic Services was also in attendance and gave the officers point of view on procedure etc.

A very worthwhile exercise.
