On the 7th<\/sup> March Community VISION came together with a number of our partners to announce the newly elected East Riding members of the UK Youth Parliament. We opened the event with some great local youth bands, which created a real atmosphere for everyone and helped calm some of the nerves. There was a real buzz in the air and the young people had the opportunity to talk with Cllrs and local media.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were supported on the evening by our CEO \u2013 Sian Broughton, Darren Stevens –  Executive Director of Corporate Resources who acted as the Returning Officer and Cllr. John Whittle, The Chairman of East Riding Council.  We were also supported by Great Driffield Radio and ERYC Public Relations team.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the evening we had the honour of presenting our former MYPs, Aonpreeya Petchatchua and Freya Edwards, with an award for all the hard work they have undertaken over their two year term of office representing young people in East Riding on the UK Youth Parliament.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine young people, aged eleven to seventeen, submitted applications to represent the East Riding. Every candidate presented a manifesto detailing their platform for the election. Votes were only based on manifestos because the pledges were anonymous. Young people were able to cast their ballots through primary and secondary schools, the mail, as well as the internet for those who are home educated or in post-16 education.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5,743 young people cast their ballots for the UK Youth Parliament in the East Riding, choosing the candidates they wanted to represent them.<\/span>
