Three young people from Prestwich have topped the poll in the elections for Bury’s reps to the national ‘Youth Parliament’.

Students across Bury (aged 11-18), had ten candidates to choose from with 7,403 young people voting. Numair Khalid of Parrenthorn High School was elected as Bury’s Member of the Youth Parliament (MYP) with 1,459 votes, and his two deputies will be Viktoria Ouomble from St Monica’s High School (932 votes) and Bethanie Mortenson from Prestwich Arts College (912 votes).

A clean sweep for Prestwich schools! Well done to all the young people involved.
