The Keighley MYPs Are Working On:

- Hold an event to improve community relations and reduce racism
- Clean up Bracken Bank Estate
- Get more litter bins and reduce litter in Keighley town centre

At the last public meeting on June 20th 2008 the MYPs reported back on their progress so far....

The MYPs secured £2500 funding from Streets Ahead to place a new welcome stone near the 5 The Drive youth project in Bracken Bank. The stone was placed with the help of local people and the area around was planted with new flowers in the hope of improving the look of the area and increasing comunity pride.

The MYPs  are now working on their second priority which is to address racism in Keighley. The MYPs are planning to make a film entitled 'Is It Here?' They hope the film will get people talking about racism and help to find solutions to the problems.

The final priority for the MYPs is to have an envronmental day in Keighley town centre which will include a community clean up and possibly a competition to design a bin. It is all aimed at reducing litter in Keighley town centre.

The Keighley MYPs meet every Thursday at the Parkwood Centre for Young People from 6pm to 9pm. Come along and help your MYPs make Keighley a better place to live for young people!
