Boston Borough Council has organised a series of events designed to give young people the chance to see how the council operates. These include an Ask The Cabinet session, debates, the chance to see how the CCTV system works and the chance to take part in mock scrutiny committees.

 

"The Council is keen to promote local democracy within Boston and the surrounding areas and this year has arranged a number of events across the week, to encourage young people to engage in the democratic process and provide a greater understanding of how this affects the lives of everyone," they said.

 

"The Council’s Democratic Services team has been working hard to organise events for the week and would welcome any ideas you may have to help promote democracy in the future. We both look forward to meeting you all in October at our events."

 

Scheduled on October 15 is a debate on Women’s Right to Vote, which marks the 100th anniversary of the Representation of the People Act 1918, which gave some women the right to vote for the first time.
