Youth Council
Meetings
The Youth Council holds formal
meetings every two months, usually in the Council Chamber. Here the
Youth Council prioritises its activities and responds to the issues
that matter to local young people.
The Young Mayor is the Chair of the Youth Council and
the Deputy Young Mayor is the Deputy Chair. In meetings of the
Youth Council the Chair leads the order of proceedings and the
Deputy Chair supports.
Youth Councillors also act as representatives on other advisory and
decision-making bodies which are of interest to the Youth Council
and local young people. They feed back on what happens in those
other committee and board meetings to other members of the Youth
Council.
In every formal Youth Council meeting there is an Agenda - which is
a document outlining the matters to be discussed during the
meeting, which Youth Council members must read before the
meeting.
Each Agenda also includes the Minutes from the previous meeting.
Minutes are a written record of what happened and all decisions
made during formal meetings.
