Midlothian north and Musselburgh Candidate Hazel Macaulay

I feel that teenagers and young adults are often overlooked, through me you can get your point across and be heard!

The issues important to me are: 1. Midlothian should have more places for people our age to go. Young people only really have two options; to go into Edinburgh or to stay at home. The problem with going uptown is that you need money and why would you want to stay at home when you can go out with friends? I think that rather than just wandering the streets there should be a place where teenagers can go.

2. My second idea is for leisure activities to become free within Midlothian. I don’t think it is right for adults to tell us to become active and then charge us money to use the facilities. I understand that money is tight but I’m sure cuts could be made elsewhere to cover the costs of this.

Midlothian north and Musselburgh Candidate Jorji Laing
