anything. Jessica would listen to everybody’s ideas and always
look on the bright side of life.

minute, we aren’t as tidy and as friendly as can be and many people
say ‘hey it’s time we made a difference’, and one day I’m sure we
will.

Rockcliffe C of E School
Candidate: Elizabeth Emerson
Elizabeth would like to be Young Mayor because it would
give her the chance to help other young people in Carlisle and
give them a chance to have their say. She believes
that children usually don’t get the chance to have their
say.
If Elizabeth were Young Mayor she would
introduce a youth passport which would give under 14's free entry
to sports and educational activities. She would also work to
encourage all primary schools to open their playgrounds in the
evenings and at weekends so that children could play safely and
live healthier lives.
Elizabeth loves Carlisle because it
is her hometown. Everyone is helpful and friendly. There
are lots of things for people to do and you feel safe wherever you
are.
Slogan: Vote for Liz – letting children have their
say!
