Bassetlaw Youth. Stand up and Be Counted.

   A Message from John

"Welcome to the new section of my website designed just for young people in Bassetlaw.

"Too many politicians ignore the voices of young people, but are quick to claim that our teenagers are the cause of everything that's wrong.

"We should deal strongly with anyone when they act anti-socially, but everyone knows that growing up is hard, and I know that it is young people who have the answers to making Bassetlaw a better place to live for everyone.

"This section of my website will contain details of news, opportunities and crucially the chance for you to let me know exactly what you think." 

John Mann MP
