The aspirations and views of young people in Dumfries and Galloway will be heard loud and clear in the next few years, a council chief has promised.
Dawn Roberts, chief executive of Dumfries and Galloway Council, has been hugely impressed by the work done by the region’s youth council since it was formed in 2019.
The youth organisation, which has 35 elected members and two youth councillors in each regional ward, is a strong voice for young people in the area and has built a strong partnership with the local authority.
