Local
These campaigns have been chosen by the Bolton Youth MP as important local issues, some of which made up a key part of their election campaign in April.
Transport
This campaign is one which has been ongoing and it is going to keep on going until transport fees are cheaper and riding the bus is a far more pleasant experience for young people.
Me and the media
This campaign is designed so that the media stops describing ALL young people as yobs or chavs. This is another ongoing campaign and it is doing a fantastic job of putting positive stories about young people in the media.
Citizenship Campaign
This campaign has been set up after we realised that the quality of citizenship lessons was not up to scratch considering it is such an important subject.
