The school councils from Royd Nursery Infant School and Deepcar St John’s CE Junior School visited Stocksbridge Town Council as part of this academic year’s elections. The children discussed a range of things that they felt were important to them and the local community. They discussed homelessness and what Stocksbridge Town Council do to support people in this situation. For example, the council helps fund warm spaces and support food banks. The children were also very interested in the Mayor’s role and asked questions such as “How many years have you been the mayor?” and “What does the Mayor do?” Furthermore, discussions were also held about the Glen Park Scheme where a £20,000 grant was won that has funded new playground equipment. A huge thank you to Stocksbridge Town Council for hosting us.
