Local politicians to answer young people’s questions about voting in upcoming radio shows

Young people will have the chance to quiz local politicians about voting and political participation in two upcoming radio shows.

The shows, hosted by Haringey-based online radio station Unity Xtra, are being aired to mark London Voter Registration Week, which is taking place from 14-20 November.

The first show, on Monday 14 November, will feature Leader of Haringey Council Cllr Peray Ahmet and Leader of the Opposition Cllr Luke Cawley-Harrison, while the second show on Thursday 17 November will feature Deputy Mayor Cllr Lester Buxton.

Both shows will be on air from 7-9pm and you can tune in by visiting www.unityextra.com

London Voter Registration Week is a strictly non-political, impartial, non-election-specific project funded and supported by the Greater London Authority to encourage voter registration in the capital.

London has one of the lowest voter registration rates across the UK, so make sure that you and your friends and family are registered so that you have a voice in decisions affecting you.
