Meet the 2024 – 2026 Youth Councillors
Yuvan Kumar
3 reasons for standing
- I would like to help improve air quality in our area. Poor air quality is a key local issue which is affecting people’s health. I aim to help tackle this issue
- I would like to help reduce inequality locally. Rising inequality has led to people feeling worse off. Not enough is being done to combat inequality, hence I would like to work to reduce inequality as it could have a positive impact on people’s lives.
- I would also like to give young people a greater voice in politics. By making our voices heard; young people can experience more positive changes
Personal campaign statement
I would like to work collaboratively to make a lasting, meaningful contribution to Epping Forest. Air quality, inequality and youth engagement in politics are the 3 main issues I would like to focus on. I hope to make positive changes on the above pledges as well as other local issues.
