YOUNG people will now be having their say at meetings of Coningsby Town Council.
It comes after a group of youngsters attended the recent annual meeting where they heard about an archery club they knew nothing about and put forward a request for a youth shelter in the village.
Mayor, Coun Richard Johnson, welcomed four youngst
ers at the April meeting and revealed that in the future two teenagers will have a slot on the meeting agenda.
Other matters that came up included backing for Sgt Gary Brown's Knight School initiative.
The aim of the project is to instil good citizenship in youngsters and the local Royal British Legion and Coningsby and Tattershall Lions Club have agreed to support it.
The council has decided to enter the Best Kept Village Competition again this year and is appealing to the public to help.
The first round of judging takes place in June and people are being asked to help tidy the village, especially with litter, as this is one of the areas where points were lost last year.
Tidy gardens, colourful flower baskets, weed free frontages, whether homes or businesses, all help.
Funding bids are being made for further development of the Allan Barker Pavilion and anyone wanting to see the plans can visit the council office to add their comments.
Also at the meeting, councillors were pleased to hear that an editor has been found for the quarterly village newsletter.
Alexandra Knowles has volunteered and been accepted.
The newsletter will now be able to continue, the deadline for copy for the next issue is May 23.
