Background
Councilor Timmy Conway founded the Youth Parliament in 1997. He came up with the idea based on the youth parliaments he was introduced to upon his stay in America. The parliaments there are; allowed pass legislation that is applicable to the youth thus giving them an interest in politics and a means by which they can have their say in issues that effect them. Timmy thought the idea so good he adopted it himself.

How meetings are conducted
The Parliament meets every Monday in the local town hall. The secretary based on the minutes from the last meeting documents the agenda of the meeting. A copy of both the minutes of the last meeting and the current agenda is passed to each member. The meeting normally based on the agenda. Once the agenda has been dealt with members of the parliament are asked to suggest new ideas and report on issues they feel the youth of the town would be most concerned with.
