HAVING just attended a Kirklees Council area committee meeting in the Colne Valley I was very impressed by the amount of youth projects there actually are in the valley.

The real youth action now put on an excellent show and, apart from being a bit nervous, they were excellent.

I was particularly impressed by the Huddersfield Monkey Boys (free-running urban gymnasts). I, like many from Huddersfield, have seen these young lads displaying their stunts outside Huddersfield Magistrates’ Court on a Saturday and wondered who they actually were. Now I know!

Let’s hope these and other youth organisations in the area get all the funding that is necessary to enable them to continue and keep them occupied and out of trouble.

Well done!!
