Tyler Wragg, steering group member for the North Norfolk Youth Council said:

“Education and the environment are fundamental to the work NNYC needs to do, and mental health awareness would be our most significant campaign for the NNYC.

I look forward to working closely with the council and various groups around North Norfolk to promote the ideas and values of young people.”

Emma Denny, Democratic Services Manager, NNDC, said:

“Our Steering Group has made a great start in establishing and looking at the priorities of the North Norfolk Youth Council.

“But they cannot do it alone. They need the help of young people across the District to join them in ensuring young people have a voice and are represented.”
