If I am elected as Bury’s MYP then I’ll be working for you towards:
• More affordable public transport
• Creating a cleaner and safer environment
• Forging a better image of us in the media's eye
• Developing easier access to healthier activities
Changes are possible, but only with your help will we succeed. A vote for me is a vote for our future.
Tom Kiernan, 17 (Holy cross – was St Gab’s)
I’ve chosen to run for Bury’s MYP because young people today currently suffer as a result of not being able to voice their problems. If you vote for me, I can try to change this. My ideas include:
• Reducing travel costs by up to 50%
• Introducing better changes to citizenship lessons
• Allow the ideas of students to be recognised. Not ignored.
Vote for me, and with your help we may see change.
Takreem Ali, 13 (St Gabriel’s)
I will campaign for:
• Lower transport costs especially for people going to school or college
• More support from the police to communities
• A council better prepared to deal with bad weather
• A less polluted environment
• Voting age to be lowered to 16
If you vote for me I will try to address these issues and any others that you tell me about.
