This Thursday (23rd Oct) will see a young people's event take place in Heworth prior to the ward's quarterly ward committee at Tang Hall Primary School. A series of games and sporting activities will be open for young people to take part in, as well as the opportunity to fill up on hot dogs, burgers, salads and fresh fruit afterwards.

Ward councillor Ruth Potter said:

"We've got a great line up in store for residents this Thursday, with the young people's event starting at 3.10pm, and including sports events, an opportunity to get on board a real fire engine and also the chance to feed into the Children and Young People's Plan for York".

 

Coun. Tina Funnell said:

"The Children's Trust in York is writing a ‘Children and Young People's Plan'. This will describe how to make York a better place for children and young people. It's really important young people have their say about what it's like to live in the city and what they think could be improved".

The young people's event will be followed by a surgery at 4.45pm with ward councillors, the safer neighbourhood team and street environment officer, after which the formal ward committee meeting will take place at 5.30pm

Heworth councillor Paul Blanchard said:

"Residents will be able to find out more at the ward committee about local improvement schemes for the ward, and have the opportunity to vote for their preferred proposals. There will also be an update on the local NHS's plans for local services and also details on a review of local fire services. These are all issues that will affect residents and I urge people to come along and find out more".
