COWDENBEATH Area Committee has now youthful input to the decision making process.

The body that makes local government decisions affecting the Cowdenbeath-Lochgelly area, on Wednesday welcomed two new members.

The Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament for Cowdenbeath, Bailey Lee Robb; and Young Carer, Sophie, were welcomed aboard by the committee chair, Councillor Linda Erskine.

Councillor Erskine told the meeting: "We welcome Sophie and Bailey Lee aboard and it is refreshing to have a young person's view which will be so important on the many issues that we will be tackling."
