Youth Voice chief urges young people to follow the lockdown rules

WARRINGTON’S Chief Youth Officer & Chief Executive of Warrington Youth Voice Louis Groarke has expressed deep concerns over young people not following the lockdown rules.

He is urging young people in the town to remain patient and to follow the rules.
Louis said: “Over the most recent year we have experienced a lot of uncertainty and a great deal of expected patience from the government. This of course has affected the young people in Warrington and other parts of the United Kingdom.
“In previous lockdowns we haven’t had the certainty we have in this one, of a mass vaccination programme which is supposedly going to get us out of lockdown and back to a new normal. The past 10 months will help us here in Warrington to get through this lockdown. However I have deep concerns over the lack of willingness of the young people, in particular, to remain patient and follow the rules, it is with this I urge all young people in Warrington to please follow the rules and think about others but also your own individual risk and what not following the rules may result in. If we want to get out of this lockdown in a lower-tier we must take maximum responsibility and do the right thing by following the rules.
“Many young people in Warrington will be feeling anxious over the uncertainty and what the government said to be ‘alternative arrangements’ for exams will be. It is key that pupils keep up the hard work and try their very best to stay motivated to keep learning and doing course work.
“We are at a very important and dangerous stage in this pandemic now and it is with that in mind we need to keep following the national guidance to protect each other. Please stay safe.”
