-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? Young people being involved in decision-making! I believe that without an effort from all sides there will never be an understanding between adults and young people. I believe that all local organisations should sign up to the Hear By Right standard in order for progress to be made. I come from a borough where many young people from all walks of life have opinions that should be listened to; these should be listened to because people have chosen to listen and not because they have been forced. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? There are many issues for the young people in Kensington and Chelsea, however the biggest issues for young people in the borough include housing and crime. There is not enough housing in the borough for everyone and the ones that are available are too expensive. Crime is a big issue as it is becoming the norm to hear of someone getting hurt. Knives are also a big issue as it is becoming clear that more and more young people are carrying them for various reasons. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? I hope to give the young people of Kensington and Chelsea a voice! I hope to highlight the issues which are important to the young people in the borough and try to find a way to help solve these issues. What is your future career ambition? I have just completed my diploma in childcare and education, and would like to work with children as a career!! Which public figure do you most admire and why? I admire many women including all of those in Parliament. I also have one particular youth worker who I will always admire, Alwyne Colley. Alwyne Colley is a woman who never takes no for an answer, she never loses faith even when someone else does! Alwyne never forgets about the young people in her borough and always values their opinions. She tries wherever possible to involve them in decision-making. Alwyne always sees past her own needs and wants and welcomes diversity. She is great! If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? I would say that young people do have a voice and that they should be encouraged to use it. I would say that when young people are given a chance to make a valuable contribution to the world they are able to do it. Give the great young people of today a chance, they may surprise you! Additional comments: I am very grateful for this post and would like to thank the young people from all over Kensington and Chelsea for voting, as without them I would not be doing this today. Thank you! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
