Teenagers Max Godfey and Hannah Clark McKeran will be giving North Tyneside’s young people a say in their future after being elected to two influential youth roles.
Max, 15, a pupil at St Thomas More RC Academy, has taken office as the new Young Mayor after polling 2,292 of the 4,647 votes cast.
In office for one year, Max will act as a figurehead for young people across North Tyneside, giving them a much needed voice and influencing decisions made by the Elected Mayor, Norma Redfearn, the cabinet and council.
