16 5 Message to the youth of Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury!

Do you have any issues you want to raise in the local area but you don’t know where to get started? How about Joining the Haworth, Cross Roads and Stanbury Youth Parish Council where you can be involved first hand and have your say in what happens with your village? Originally created by Councillor Cotton and Councillor Clarke; the whole idea of the Youth Council from the beginning was to try and encourage people from the ages of 11-18 to become more involved with what goes on within the villages of Cross Roads, Haworth and Stanbury. At first, only three extra members joined to become part of the steering group based on just pure curiosity of being involved with a council. These three people were Alex Arana (aged 16), Jordan Pullen (aged 17) and Jacob Blackman (age 18). After a couple of meetings, the group finally decided to push forward LIVE A HEALTHIER, MORE FULFILLING with the project by presenting their ideas in front of the Haworth, Cross LIFE Roads, and Stanbury Parish Council, stating their intentions and ideas on what they would like to do.
