Another busy day. Three visits and a spot of gardening!
Last Friday Gerry had another busy day out and about in the constituency.
First up was a visit to Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College where presentations were made to Gerry by year 9 GCSE Citizenship pupils. As part of their GCSE the students had to plan, carry out and evaluate a campaign on chosen themes which were; lowering the voting age to 16 and introducing a minimum wage for 14-16 year olds. The pupils had undertaken a survey at school about pay and working conditions for 14-16 year olds and also made leaflets which were on display. They then gave a presentation putting forward their proposals and ideas for having a minimum wage for 14-16 year olds. There then followed a question and answer session. Gerry was very impressed by the hard work and enthusiasm shown by the students.
