My name is Terence Courtnage and I am 16 years old. I live in central Widnes and I go to 3 different collages called T.A.P, Maverick and Y.M.C.A training I describe myself as a confident and intelligent young person. The reasons why I want to be on U.K.Y.P is I feel that young people are not getting a very good reputation most of all “hoody’s” and I myself have also been called a “hoody” so I no what it is like. Also I would like to bring up ideas that I have had a personal experience of which is being expelled from school I think that young people deserve another chance but others don’t see it that way! So that is something that I would like to discuss.  I would also like to stress my open door policy.  This is when any member of the community can come forward and tell me their views and opinions of Halton itself.  I am not doing this because I am running for me and I am running for you.
