-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? Mental Health, bullying, drug abuse, work and training, teenage pregnancy, young people in care and fostering, local transport and many more which have been identified through youth surgeries held across the borough. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? South Tyneside has one of the lowest rates of employment levels in the country. Many young people come from low income households and live in a community where there is little opportunity for work. In most cases their ambitions of future careers and education are destroyed through drugs and crime. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? I wish to make the government listen more to the North East, instead of focusing on London and the South East. Issues such as transport are focused on too much, whereas some of the real issues like self harm and mental health are pushed away and forgot about. What is your future career ambition? My career ambition is to be an aircraft engineer working in the R.A.F. I would also like to be a youth worker. Which public figure do you most admire and why? I admire Winston Churchill because he saved our country from invasion. If it were not for this man's outstanding leadership, the country most probably would have been defeated. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? The message I would send to government
is that this generation is not just the future of the UK but we
are also the present and make a valuable contribution to society.
If you don't start listening to us, you could lose us forever. Additional comments: I am proud to represent South Tyneside in the UKYP. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
