As the general election battle hots up, candidates for Lambeth's Youth Mayor and its representative at the national Youth Parliament got their own campaigns under way with the help of an open-top bus.

The young hopefuls have been touring the borough's play areas and youth clubs to canvass opinion and gather support.

Voting is open to anyone between the ages of 11-19 who lives, works or studies in the borough.

Lambeth's third Youth Mayor will have an annual budget of £25,000 to help them make the changes young people want to see.
