YOUNG people in Read and Simonstone are being called on to have their say about what happens in their villages.

The Youth Council for young people aged 12 to 17-years-old is looking for new recruits to help organising new events in the local area and discuss issues of concern.

The group is led by local teenagers and currently consists of five members who hold regular meetings, discussing how to liven the local area for teenagers and the wider community.

For more information on the group and to get involved call Doreen Collinson on 01282 778582.
