Local Democracy event for students in Guildhall
46 young people aged 14-18 came together in the Council Chamber at the Guildhall to learn about the decision-making processes within Council, the role of a Councillor, and how to become a Councillor.
Participants then got some hands on experience of what it is like to be a Councillor through a group work session supported by local Councillors and the chance to debate during the Mock Council Meeting.
