'We'll be asking young people how they want to organise and prioritise the day, as opposed to us saying how it should be'

Ribble Valley schools and youngsters are being encouraged to help organise a climate change summit this summer, with support from the borough's mayor and other councillors, including one elected last year aged just 18 while studying A-levels.

Coun Hindle said: "We are working on ideas for a climate change summit and pulling together an event for about ten schools. I won't be the mayor when it happens but I will help with planning it.A meeting with youngsters was held recently in the borough council chamber at Clitheroe to consider more ideas for the June event.

Reflecting on other activity as mayor over the past months, Coun Hindle said he had been really busy with attending events and projects. These included activity to help Ukrainian people who have escaped war and been accommodated by Ribble Valley families.
