Youngsters cast their vote

IT wasn't just Celebrity Big Brother that had young people voting in their droves on Friday.

Because more than 2,000 of Warrington's young people had their say in the annual youth parliament elections.

Votes were cast in the Warrington South and Warrington North constituencies as the 13-17-year-olds elected their very own young MPs for the next year.

And among the adult politicians on hand when the results were announced at the Gateway on Sankey Street was Clr Paul Ross, deputy leader, and Helen Jones MP and Helen Southworth MP.
