Schoolboy, 18, becomes UK’s youngest town councillor after by-election victory
Tom Bletsoe, just 18, is the new Independent councillor for St Ives South ward in Cambridgeshire.
I would like to wish him both Good Luck and Congratulations.
It is really good to see a youngster taking an active interest in politics and local community affairs. Too often all we hear about youngsters is how they spend all their time getting drunk and causing a nuisance.
I can already hear the naysayers and their negative comments asking “What does he know ?” “He’s only 18, What experience has he got ?”
Well I say he can hardly do any worse than some of our current batch of councillors & MPs.
So lets give him a chance to prove himself.
