Harlow Youth Councillor
Elected 2007 - 2009
Manifesto Statement
I am standing for Harlow Youth Council because
I feel that the facilities in Harlow for youth are very poor.
People feel that we are up to no good, but we have nowhere to
go.

Responsibilities
Office Co-ordinators – To
meet staff support members on a regular basis, distribute
post and undertake any tasks as and when required. To arrange
extra support if needed. To receive all information and to
disseminate information to full youth council meetings. This
position will also involve attending newsletter meetings to ensure
accurate reporting of council issues

working with the disabled. Cafe Youth is a cafe designed to
