An ambitious East Kilbride youngster wants to save the planet after starring in the Children’s Parliament at Westminster.
P6 Heathery Knowe pupil, Joy Smith, was selected to represent her constituency of East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow at the inaugural event, paving the way for more young people to get into politics.
The initiative, held just before COP26, broke a world record for the world's largest Children's Parliament, with 270 primary school children matched to Parliamentary seats.
