Minutes:
The report of the Assistant Director for Regeneration and Culture shared the Hastings Youth Council manifesto with elected members, and sought support from cabinet to back the youth council’s aims and vision.
The manifesto set out the vision, values and purpose the Youth Council had agreed. It was noted that the Youth Council is a very active organisation, supporting a wide range of events which focus on issues affecting the young people of Hastings, and the wider community. Thanks were given to the Community Cohesion and Support Officer for his work to support the Youth Council. The point was made that this model of Youth Council is used in other parts of the country, with the Hastings Youth Council setting a precedent. Members were advised that 2018 will be the 20th Anniversary of the Youth Council, and the cabinet wished the organisation many more successful years.
The recommendation was moved by Councillor Forward, and seconded by Councillor Batsford.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that:
1. Hastings Borough Council supports the Hastings Youth Council manifesto
2. Hastings Borough Council supports the Hastings Youth Council’s vision and aims for the young people of Hastings.
Reasons for the Recommendations:
Hastings Youth Council is endorsed by Hastings Borough Council, it provides a method to actively engage with young people from the borough and help shape policy. The aims of the Youth Manifesto are consistent with the council’s own mission statement.
