Giving young people a voice

We are giving young people in Stevenage a chance to tell us what they like and do not like about their town.

During Local Democracy Week (16-20 October) we are working with Hertfordshire County Council, asking young people ‘What is it like living in Stevenage?’ and filming their answers.

This unique method of consultation will give us immediate, face-to-face feedback from a group that might not otherwise get involved in council consultation.

We want to get them involved in local democracy and find out what is important to them, how they perceive their council and what they would do differently to improve life in the town.

Their comments as well as responses from Councillors and staff will be on www.hertslink.org/voxpop by the end of November.  You can even give us your opinions about what has been said.

This is the second filming session this year.  The first took place at Stevenage Town Show in June and provided excellent feedback from different residents.  We are using this information to improve our services and shape our priorities.
