A visit to the Mayor's Parlour

Recently we were invited to meet the Vale Mayor, Cllr Janice Charles and Deputy Mayor, Cllr Leighton Rowlands, at the Mayor's Parlour in Kings Square, Barry.   We talked about what it is like being Deputy Youth Mayor and the work of the Youth Cabinet over the last year.  The Mayor and Deputy Mayor also suggested ways the Youth Mayor and Youth Cabinet should publicise the work they do and how we can promote ourselves more to young people.  They were both very interested in the work we do and keen to continue to support us in the work we do.  We also found out what it involves being the Vale Mayor and Deputy and how they get involved in the local community and support local residents. It was a very interesting meeting and we are glad we had the chance to meet the Mayor and Deputy who is also the Youth Champion and we think it's great that they are both taking a keen interest in young people in the Vale of Glamorgan.
