YOUNGSTERS in Winchester can have their say in making things happen.

Youth workers at the City Road Connexions centre, drop-in caf and base for youth group twenty5, are launching the youth forum.

The first meeting will be on Thursday. It is a chance for youngsters to get involved and put forward ideas about what they would like to see happen in the city.

Youth worker David Mackie, pictured right with Trevor Lynas, said he hoped to make the forum a regular event and youngsters would work on producing a newsletter letting young people know what was happening in the city.

The drop-in centre will undergo a relaunch this year.
