1. Food

3. Nature

4. Transport

Subsequent to the Assembly weekend, the Youth Panel have been involved in sharing their findings with Nottingham City Council’s Deputy Leader and cabinet members, the City of Nottingham’s CN28 Programme, Nottinghamshire Youth Board, local MPs and more. In addition they Youth Panel have attended local events to speak with Nottingham-wide residents to gain support for their manifesto.
