Thanks to an invitation from the Deputy Lord Mayor, Paul Greenfield, our School 'Eco' Council travelled up to the Civic Centre to see how Armagh City, Banbridge, Craigavon Borough Council conduct business. Our Councillors had a chance to see the Lord Mayor's Parlour and take a seat in Craigavon Chambers which they loved. They also had a chance to try on robes and the Deputy Lord Mayor's chain.
Upper Bann MP David Simpson also took some time out of his busy schedule to meet with our Councilors and talk us through the role of an MP. Our Councilors had a chance to talk about their manifestos and elections within school, and ask the politicians numerous questions about why they got into politics.
This was a fantastic treat for each of our Councilors and we would like to thank the Deputy Lord Mayor Councilor Paul Greenfield for making it happen, and thank Upper Bann MP David Simpson for meeting with us.
