Dominic, 18, eyes seat on Rotherham Council
A TEENAGER is hoping to inject some youth into politics in Rotherham when he stands for election in May.
Dominic Beck (18), of Freesia Close, South Anston, will represent Labour in the Wales ward and is hoping to be given a chance to make a change.
The former Wales High School student is currently studying Business Management at Sheffield Hallam University and working full-time for social care providers Hughes and Hughes Developments.
Dominic said that he believed his age was an advantage.

Dominic is chairman of South Yorkshire Young Labour, an ambassador for Rotherham Ready and a governor at Anston Park Infants School.
