Deputy Mayor Cllr James Bacon said: “It was a pleasure to meet so many inspirational young people. Lots of questions were asked and we also gave them the opportunity to visit the Mayor’s Parlour and try on councillor robes and hats.
“We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and look forward to hosting more groups in the future.”

“They usually meet weekly to take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, singing, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.
“They also have the opportunity to take part in the fun and excitement of camps and sleepovers.
“It may be the first time they spend a night away from home so it’s a real adventure for them.”
