Youth service contract will be extended by six months for the incoming council Bradford on Avon Town Council has agreed to extend its youth services contract for six months to allow for the new council in May to decide on a future service provider. At an extraordinary meeting of the full council, members were asked to commit £30,993 per year – rising to £42,970 in the fourth year – for youth services in the town. Controversially for some councillors, this would mean committing the town council post-May elections to a service for its entire term. Cllr Laurie Brown said a decision such as this should not be done this close to election-time, adding this should be a decision that is left up to the new council.
