MAURA Hickey was the 'best date' as she wowed young people at Cloonavin last week.
The SDLP alderman was voted tops as councillors welcomed members of the Coleraine Youth Forum to the Council's offices for a political 'speed dating' event.
Alderman Hickey was delighted with her win: "Engaging with young people is very important and although this event was light hearted in nature we must continually give our attention to issues that affect them. Now they have got a taster for speaking to their elected members, I encourage them and all young people to speak to their local Councillor's at anytime not just at planned events like this."
Organised to coincide with Local Democracy Week, the quickfire question round allowed the young people participating to get limited one to one time with each councillor to ask them relevant questions on issues facing the youth today.
