The Launch

This event took place in Hawarden High School on Tuesday 15th September 2009.

The -factor Mobile unit is the final result of a project born from the Views of Young People.



The aim of the -factor Mobile Bus unit is to "engage the Youth of Flintshire, Building Respect, Caring for our Schools & Environment" in several ways:

· To encourage the younger members of the public to play their part, and
· Provide reassurance to residents through building respect between generations.
· Engage young people in helping to reduce arson & criminal damage which specifically target schools, the environment and surrounding neighbourhoods.

The RT Hon Lord Jones PC, president of Flintshire Neighbourhood Watch Association was present to witness the occasion, along with North-Wales police, members of Parliament and of the Welsh Assembly.

Find out more about it here, see the photos. The -factor Mobile Bus has also made it to YouTube, in an Independent Production by John Butler.
