On Saturday, Youth Councillors attended the annual Essex Youth Voice Day which this year focused on crime and safety concerns around the county.

It was a fantastic event where we could share our views and suggestions directly to Essex Leaders including local councillors and senior Police Officers. 👮

We attended workshops where we shared our concerns about Knife Crime, Violence Against Women and Girls and Gerneral Community Safety. There were also Q & A’s with the Police, a self defence session and a chance to learn how to use a bleed first aid kit ⛑️.

During lunchtime we also hosted a stall in the Information Fair so that other young people could learn about what we are doing with our safety project.

YTCllr Sophie R said:
I had a great day. I really loved both workshops I attended and thought they were super informative (especially the violence against women and girls workshop). I think we should attend next year if possible.

YTCllr George W said:
It was a fantastic event where we could share our thoughts and concerns about crime in Essex. I felt that everything we said was listened too, and it was great to see examples of projects that had been created based off of issues raised at last years event. Would definitely recommend and hope to come again next year.

Good news story! - New bin installed in Sun Corner playground 🛝

Recently, YTCllr George wrote to local councillors and the Cabinet member for Environment & Leisure regarding Sun Corner playground and its aging equipment.

In his letter George raised that a litter bin in the playground had been missing for several years, leaving only the old bin’s base in the ground.

We are extremely pleased to announce that recently a new bin has been installed and we’re glad to see it’s already being used, helping to reduce litter in surrounding areas and keep the park clean! 🚮🎉🌳

A massive thank you to Basildon Council for installing the new litter bin. 👏

Yesterday YTCllrs visited Headquarters to see the Contact Command Centre also known as the Police Call Centre.

This was a fantastic visit, where we toured the call centre, learnt about how 999, 101 & live chat requests are answered and then met the media team about how the police can better engage and encourage young people to report crime as part of a new campaign.

We learnt so many interesting facts from how the centre operates when receiving huge volume of calls, to how quickly calls are answered and how incidents are logged.

The police do an incredible job here in Essex and we are extremely grateful to have been offered this opportunity to see the behind the scenes. When you think of the police you assume it’s just officers patrolling/responding to crime however there’s a whole lot more of amazing work behind the scenes.

Last week YTCllr George met with our Local MP Richard Holden, Cllr Andrew Baggot, Nibs Bus Operation Manager, Essex Police, and representatives from other organisations to launch the Young People’s Safer Buses Survey Report. This report summarises the concerns young people in Essex have about crime and Anti-Social Behaviour on buses, including why it would be a good idea to have a text service to report crime on buses similar to on trains.

This was a fantastic meeting with lots of discussion.

Our next steps are to be looking at West Midlands and British Transport Police’s text services.

On Sunday YTCllrs volunteered at Billericay Soap Box Derby as Track Marshals. We had an amazing time making sure the track was safe and clear, whist watching the fantastically designed go-carts race down the track.

On Friday YTCllrs George, Poppy & Imogen were on Junior Question Time alongside . We had a fantastic time on the panel, discussing questions from the audience including topics such as Crime & Safety, public transport, social media, sports facilities/public spaces and lots more.

Yesterday, members of the Youth Town Council joined officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team in Billericay High Street to promote the Youth Safety Booklet.
They spent the afternoon engaging with residents and handing out useful goodies designed to enhance public safety and help keep personal belongings secure. Despite the extremely cold weather, their enthusiasm and commitment shone through.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the Town Council offices for a debrief and a much-needed hot drink.
A huge well done to George, Imogen, Jason, Sophie, Milo and Darcie for giving up their time during half term to support the initiative. Many thanks also to Elizabeth, who is undertaking work experience with the Town Council this week, for braving the elements to capture the photograph.
