TWO teenage students beginning to make their way in politics impressed senior officials at an event to promote issues affecting young people in Warrington.

Rose Warburton and Luke Corbishley, both pupils at Beamont Collegiate Academy in Orford, gave a presentation as members of Impact, Warrington's youth parliament.

The duo addressed 80 head teachers from schools and colleges in the town, and leaders from Warrington Borough Council.

They have also encourages peers to vote on issues that matter as part of the 'make your mark' vote.

Principal Andrew Moorcroft said: "We are extremely proud of the work Rose and Luke are doing within IMPACT in championing the young people of Warrington.

"It was an intimidating audience but they were not fazed; they spoke with passion and confidence and made a big impression on all attendees."
