Name:
Terri Maginess
Status: Deputy MYP
Constituency:
Halton

--------------------------------------------------------

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am most passionate about young people in Halton having places to go and things to do. From talking to young people in the borough they said that if they had places to go and things to do it would encourage them to engage in positive activities rather than hanging round the streets drinking and smoking.

What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency?

The biggest issue for young people in my constituency is not having anything to do and the lack of facilities for them to access. Young people are bored and therefore are more likely to be involved in anti-social behaviour.

What do you hope to achieve during your term of office?

During my term in office I hope to put forward all ideas from young people about what they would like in their area. I would like to see more positive relationships between young people and the police and would like to raise awareness of issues facing young people.

What is your future career ambition?

My future career ambition is to achieve enough qualifications to join the police force because I feel that the police play a very important role within the community and that is what I want to do.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I admire David Beckham not only because of his football skills but because he has given a lot to young people e.g. football academy which gives young people the opportunity to play football and receive professional training.

If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be?

Provide young people with more places to go and things to do as opposed to issuing ASBOs for anti-social behaviour. Give us the opportunity to channel our energy in a positive way.

Additional comments:

Young people have a voice, people need to listen to us.
