A chance for those aged 18-30 to have their say on local issues
Brentford Youth Voice is holding a meeting this month
January 6, 2023
A new group has been formed to give younger people a greater say on important local issues.
Brentford Youth Voice has been started by Councillor Lara Parizotto for those aged between 18-30 living or working in the TW8 area. She has distributed hundreds of leaflets around the area to raise awareness.
Local decision making can be dominated by older generations, so the group will aim to allow a broader input.
A meeting is being held on Wednesday 11 January at 6.30pm which will provide a chance to and learn more about Brentford Youth Voice. As long as you are interested in working to create a better Brentford, you are welcome to join.
To encourage people to attend 16 tickets for the game between Brentford and Bournemouth taking place on 14 January are being made available to those taking part.
The intention is to hold meetings every couple of months to discuss the issues that matter to young people in TW8.
Issues to be discussed will include:
• Developing the Brentford night economy
• Renters’ rights in Brentford
• Skills and job opportunities
• Shaping local development
• Arts and culture
• Local environment
• Equalities & Diversity
If you’re interested in attending get in touch with local Councillor Lara Parizotto to find out more: lara.parizotto@hounslow.gov.uk or Whatsapp 07511 780042.
