Cllr Khan has extended the offer for young people to meet with him directly – the
Council’s Commissioner will make arrangements for this to happen.
Cllr Khan and Cllr Dunbar have said that they welcome invitations from young people’s
groups and they would happily meet and visit young people in their provisions. The
Council Commissioner will ensure youth workers in attendance are given contact
details for the 2 Councillors so invitations can be extended.
