Young people matter
Tuesday 11th october 2005 - I attended a Local Government Association conference in London today focusing on the Government's plans published in their Green Paper Youth Matters. I find I am very impressed with some of the proposals in the paper and the speech by Children's Minister Beverly Hughes MP convinces me the Government's plans and thinking are on the right track.
There are still some concerns to be ironed out - for example how can local councils fund all the ideas - but I am broadly pleased that the focus on investment for better facilities and activities for our young people is the right way to go.
