Youth Council meeting

Stamford Town Council has a vibrant Youth Council made up of students from a range of local schools and colleges. The youth councillors met in June to discuss a range of topics, including air quality in the town and the role of the Stamford Street Pastors. They also heard more about how Stamford Town Council uses a range of different channels to communicate with residents and stakeholders.

The Youth Council was set up by Stamford Town Council to help give the younger generation in Stamford a voice. Youth councillors meet regularly with councillors to discuss a range of different issues that are important to them.

If you’d like to find out more about getting involved, then please call 01780 753808 or email communications@stamfordtowncouncil.gov.uk
