A MAJOR concert for youngsters could take place if a plan from Hereford's new mayor comes to fruition.
Councillor Kevin Wargen, who has just taken over as the city's 627th mayor, hopes to organize an event for the county's under 18-year-olds.
"Everybody complains about youngsters but they are not all bad. If we don't give them anything to do they have reason to complain," he said.
"One of the reasons we had the leisure centre built was for youngsters to have concerts. It has wrangled with me that we have not had any concerts up there for quite a few years."
Coun Wargen is hoping to organize the concert in February at a Hereford night club. He will assess the attitudes of secondary school pupils to see if they are interested in the idea.
