Sixth formers at Greenhill School in Tenby have been finding out more about Pembrokeshire County Council at a special one-day conference. 'Your Council, Your Call' gave students the chance to discuss the sort of real life decisions made every day by local authorities. Organised by Pembrokeshire County Council and Careers Wales West, the initiative highlights the role of local government and the wide range of services provided by the council. Pupils were split into management teams and asked how to spend a £7m budget for the forthcoming year. At the end of the day, each team gave presentations to their classmates on how they would spend the budget. The group which displayed the best teamwork was presented with an award by Clr. Islwyn Howells, cabinet member for children and young people, who congratulated them on their work. Clr. Howells said the initiative not only introduced the role of local government to pupils, but also developed communication and team skills. "It tells young people about the wide range of services provided by the council as well as highlighting career opportunities," he said.
