On Friday 1st June we met for the first time as a new Youth Cabinet and took part in an induction day to get to know each other; learn more about the role of the youth cabinet; difference decision-makers in the Vale of Glamorgan; and the structure of the Vale of Glamorgan Council.
We also met with Alun Cairns MP and talked about his role as Member of Parliament and Secretary of State for Wales. We discussed lots of issues such as Brexit, Votes at 16 and the electrification of the rail network in Wales. We also met Councillor Bob Penrose, Cabinet Member for Learning & Skills in the Vale of Glamorgan to learn more about his portfolio. I think we will be working quite closely in the future.
We are looking forward to our first meeting as a newly elected youth cabinet in June to start planning thinking our term of office and what we want to work on.
