-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? The lack of funding going to youth services and looking after the environment and encouraging others to do so, after all we do live on the coast and can't really afford not to! What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? The lack of affordable meeting places and encouragement for getting young people involved in positive activities. Again, I think this comes down to the lack of funding. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? I hope to achieve making Gt Yarmouth a more positive environment for young people. Also to try and encourage schools to teach more about "life issues" such as drug awareness, sexual health etc. Giving more young people the chance to access youth workers is important too. What is your future career ambition? I'm keeping my options open for the time being, but have thought deeply about youth work. I'm very interested in how young people are portrayed and what people can achieve without even realising it! It gives people a great sense of achievement and builds much needed confidence. Which public figure do you most admire and why? The public figure that I admire the most is Gene Simmons! I know that may sound weird but at the end of the day he is portraying the positive side of youth culture and challenges issues/attitudes that need to be addressed. He also treats young people equally while encouraging them to take part in something constructive. He focuses their minds on their futures and how their behaviour affects others. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? Invest and look after the youth. They are the future parents, workforce and voters. Additional comments: Thank you to all of those who voted for me. I am very grateful and looking forward to being able to learn about new things. I'll try my best. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
