A number of Cabinet members have drifted from Cabinet or resigned over the year - Alex Slipper MYP (Member of Youth Parliament) the most recent. Cabinet is now short of reps from South Holland and South Kesteven. This is not just about distances but personal circumstances.
UKYouth Parliament ANNUAL SITTING (July 22-4 Leeds)
Excellent conference attended by Joseph Hayat (DMYP WEST) and Sam Stanhope (DMYP EAST). A mix of workshops, high profile speakers and entertainment saw a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Sam asked Tim Loughton, Children’s Minister, whether the PM was taking part in Takeover Day and if he could have the job! Sam is chasing this up!

TRANSPORT
Partnership work is proposed with Rutland MYPs to promote the rural transport initiative CallConnect for young people. Lincolnshire’s scheme is highly successful and now operates within Rutland and Northants. However, it is under used by young people who are largely unaware of the service. A short DVD and publicity material aimed at young people is planned. Cabinet members have been encouraged to try the service so they are able to talk from experience. For more information on services in your area/registration call 0845 234 33 44 or text ‘CallConnect’ to 82727 or go to www.lincsinterconnect.com
