CUB reporter Jenny Louden is the one voice of the Leigh, Atherton and Tyldesley area on her youth newspaper.

Jenny, 13, played a big part in working on edition five of Youth News, the 11-21 Linc newspaper, which is out now.

The Atherton schoolgirl said: "It is good bringing points of view from my side of the borough as I am the only teenager from the Leigh district.

"People from around here should join up. It's good fun."

The latest edition contains homework horrors and bullying features, among many others.

Professional photographer Paul Lathom helped with the photography in this edition and some of the reporters' pictures will be displayed as part of the "Local Faces Public Places" exhibition at the Turnpike Gallery, Leigh, next month.

Youth News is mailed to over 20,000 addresses of 11-21 year olds and a further 12,000 copies are distributed through council reception areas, schools and youth and community centres, libraries and leisure centres.

Anyone who would like to attend the reporters' group will be welcome at meetings which alternate between Mondays at the Penson Street Youth Centre, Wigan, and Wednesdays at Christ Church, Pennington, between 7 and 9pm.

Anyone who cannot attend meetings, but would like to contribute ideas, articles, poems or letters for the summer edition should send their work to 11-21 Linc Youth News, Leisure Services Department, First Floor, Robin Park Indoor Sports Centre, Loire Drive, Wigan.
