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.

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

accurate reporting of council issues
