Agenda item

To receive an update on the work of the Witney Youth Council and notes from their meeting held on 8 January 2026.

The Committee received the report of the Administrative Assistant – Communications & Engagement, which provided an update on their recent activities and notes of their meeting held on 8^th January 2026.

Details were provided on meeting frequency, discussions, daily school slides, elected roles, a visit to the House of Commons and an event – A Taste of Witney which the group were planning to run in the spring.

Members welcomed the updates but expressed disappointment that a visit to Parliament was proving difficult to arrange. It was suggested that the Council could also consider informal engagement events hosted by the Youth Council, such as the recent Pizza and Politics evening in Witney, which was oversubscribed and well attended by young people. 

Resolved:

1.         That, the updates and notes of the Youth Council be noted and,

2.         That, consideration be given to future informal engagement events.
