Thame youth invited to have their say on Facebook group 14/01/10

THE Facebook group is called Talk about Thame.

AS well as this great initiative by a group of young people from the Thame area, young people will get the chance to air their views at a public meeting next month to discuss issues that affect them.

The five specific issues to be discussed are:

Transport – bus times and cycle routes

Youth cafe or meeting place

Youth Information – shared information about youth groups and events

Anti-social behaviour

Youth engagement with the town council

The idea for such an event arose from a meeting between Thame Town Council’s Youth Issues Working Group (YIWG), local youth group leaders and young people themselves, at the Guide HQ in October, 2009.

Young people themselves will run the event and discuss the issues amongst themselves, with the background support of councillors in the YIWG.

The Youth Event will be held at Thame town hall on February 2, 2010, between 5-7pm
