Cromer student Henry and Hales student Jake would really like you vote! Unlike the recent Presidential elections in the USA the campaign to become a member of  the Kent County Youth Council will be fought on policies rather than trying to discredit their opponents from other schools!

Henry’s campaign looks at lesson improvements, social development for local youths and improving bus services. He said “I don’t feel as though there is much support locally for the youth of Swale which is why I joined up”. Jake is concentrating on supporting and increasing opportunities for young people with special educational needs, increasing social opportunities for all and increasing the number of cycle lanes and commented “ my Mum is a counsillor for Swale Borough Council so I have always been interested in politics and want to make a difference”.
