Young Mayor Thomas North said:‘’I am very pleased. It is nice to be recognised for the work I have done with the Youth Council. I want to work on getting better facilities for the youth of the Borough, focus on improved and cheaper transport, and challenging the media and their view of dangerous thugs and vandal roaming the streets.
Last Years Young Mayor Nicki Orridge said of her year: ‘’I have had a very enjoyable time. My biggest task has been setting the foundations for my successor this year as Young Mayor, making sure  everything is in place. My highlights have been the trip on board HMS Quorn and the Mayors Christmas Dinner in the church’’
Youth Champion Cllr Pam Posnett said: "It's been an excellent campaign and it is great to see that so many of the youngsters at the school can be bothered to turn out and vote. The scheme has been really successful. The past year has been a learning curve. Melton Council and the Youth Council are going to work together and where we share priorities there will be representatives of the young people on the relevant committees."
