Empowering Young People
Explore how young people are helping shape the future below – with new opportunities, creative pathways, and a safe, vibrant environment to live, work and socialise.
Our Vision for Young People
We want our towns and communities to evolve to meet the changing requirements of the day. To help this transition, we will be supporting young people to start to shape the area so that they will find it more exciting, interesting and safe. This will help to attract and retain younger people in the area to work and establish businesses.
We’ll be supplying the opportunities, skills and equipment to enable young creative people to gain experience of producing and delivering events and activities and start to develop the next generation of retailers.
A vibrant night time economy is an essential part of the mix for younger people, but all need to feel safe and welcome so young people will be shaping the whole experience.
