YOUNGSTERS are to make a song and dance about local issues during Local Democracy Week, which begins today.
The Connecting Youth Culture Team, made up of teen-agers from Northallerton and Scarborough, will give a dem-onstration of dance, drumming and performance art at County Hall, Northallerton, tomorrow.
The demonstration will express their views on a range of issues, including the environment.
The group of 22 participants, aged 16 to 19, will also have the chance to talk with executive members and the leader of the council during an informal lunch.
The leader of the council, Councillor David Ashton, said: "The invitation to County Hall reflects the interest of elected members in engaging young people in the new political arrangements that are being launched during Local Democracy Week."
