I will have a think about applying, it would be useful experience and I might be able to make an impact, there is still some time until the 10th of September.

This is something I would have enjoyed taking part in a few years ago. Though this is possibly a view I hold with the gift of hindsight - I spent a lot of my early 20s complaining to a wide audience about the conditions my social landlord was keeping the local estate/housing stock in without making any active effort to engage directly with the people responsible for making it right, much to the consternation of a borough councillor who was picking up the baton for me on my behalf and taking things forward as a board member on said RSL. Tl:dr: that disconnect can be a serious thing, your voice is valid at any age, and any opportunity to engage should be taken - it might look like a box-ticking exercise but you're still within hearing distance of those who are obligated to listen and implement. Know and use that option well. Do the younger people know what "paging" is? *looks in box in attic for old Vodafone Pager... then looks for AA batteries* They could have done a catchy 30 second Snapchat or Instagram ad to catch kids' attention, but they are not into technology Leon Daniels must be getting short of breath thru worrying that SEe9's new-fangled blind doesn't go the way of TEH1224's just to show he's 'with it' and 'down with the kids' when it comes to tech... still no WiFi, though... if they'd pushed these ads through onboard WiFi on the buses, they might have more people giving a d@mn
