A LOCAL authority's transport planners are to attend the York Youth Forum Festival on Saturday.
Council officers are going to York St John College to hear the views of teenagers.
And while the topics being raised will range from education to sexual health, transport chiefs will be asking participants for advice on how to improve the cycling, walking and public transport networks, and how best to promote sustainable transport.
Daniel Johnson, the council's principal transport planner, said: "We're hoping to hear some honest criticism of transport in York and of the way the council communicates with young people. We've got to reach young people now if we want to avoid having a congested, polluted and unhealthy York 20 years down the line."
