Hannah Blythyn AM said:

“Our new Youth Parliament will provide a great opportunity for our young people to identify, raise awareness of and debate the matters important to them and I want as many people from our area to take part and be involved.

“I would urge anyone who hasn’t already to make sure they are registered to vote and ensure their voice is heard in this election.

“Good luck to all the candidates standing in Delyn and I look forward to working with our first ever Welsh Youth Parliament member.”
