UK Youth Parliament

2009-04-02T12:50:00.002+01:00

Hi Everyone,

I Have Launched A New Survey Into Which Of The New UK Youth Parliament Campaigns Would Benefit The Young People In Cambridgeshire. Let Me Give You A Brief Eplanation As To How These Are Choosen.

1. Each Region Of The UKYP Picks A Campaign (14 In Total)

2. These 14 are Then Voted Down To 6 By Members Of The Public Via The UKYP Voting Forum

3. The 6 Are Then Voted Down To 3 By Members Of The UKYP

This Year, Step 3 Will Be A Historic Event, Which Will Take Part In The House Of Commons Chamber, Whereas Last Year We Was In The Lords Chamber. In Order To Get The Best For My Constituents, I have Had A Survey Made.

Please Complete The Survey And Pass On To All Young People You Know! THere Is Information On How To Get Your Vote In At The End Of The Survey.

Best Wishes,

Lewis Punter

Free/Reduced Public Transport for Young People in Cambridgeshire

New Campaign - Free/Reduced Public Transport for Young People in Cambridgeshire

Public Transport, Costs Doesnt It? Well I think Its Time That We Changed That Dont You? I have Started A new Campaign To Get Free/Reduce public Transport To All Young People In Cambridgeshire Under The Age Of 18 In Full Time Education! If Young People Had Access To Free Public Transport, It Would mean That We Could Socialise More, Get Young People Out The House And (hopefully) Cut Crime Levels.

Please Go To www.bebo.com/freepublictransport To Find Out More And Fill Out A Survey on Public Transport.

I Am Currently Researching The Basis Of The Campaign And Putting Together a Action Plan!

You Have A Voice, Use It Today For A Change Tomorrow!

Thanks

Lewis Punter
Chairman - Youth District Council

I have been involved with getting young peoples voices heard for a year now; having been elected chairman for the fenland youth district council. I have been working on a County campaign to get free transport for young people in Cambridgeshire, and feel this would really take off if I was elected to represent young people in this area for the UK Youth Parliament. I am a confident public speaker and do not feel nervous about meeting new people. I can get my point (and others) across in a way that appeals to those for who it is intended. I Would Also Like To Change the Way Young People are portrayed in newspapers and in the media. This is why I feel I would be the best man for the job of representing East Cambridgeshire and Fenland, representing what we stand for, representing YOU!
