The young people who make up the South Cambridgshire Youth Council came together this week to have a show and tell from some of us on the district council - and our senior officers - on what we do and some of the challenges ahead.
And what a bright bunch of future leaders they were! I took them through what we think our priorities are five years ahead - and then they worked through what they saw as the key future issues for them - mainly the costs of transport for young people and its inadequacy, and also cyber-bullying, where the question is do schools understand it enough to do anything about it? it's part of the big debate about is crime going down or just going online?
Anyway, a really awesome group of young people and we want to look after them and use their outlook and their take on things to make south cambsridgeshire a good place for all ages.
And there were youth council T-shirts - we don't get T shirts for our council meetings!
