AGE: 18

I was born and brought up in Worcester and my family have lived here for generations.
I think more young people should get involved in local politics - what happens in Worcester affects young people just as much as it does the older generation!
I am unhappy at the cuts to services for young people.
There is not much for us to do in the Battenhall area as it is.
We need to take the environment more seriously, so I support weekly waste food collection to convert waste to energy and the collection of garden waste to turn into compost.
