First time voters at a Streatham sixth form are to quiz parliamentary candidates on their policies ahead of the general election.

Girls from Streatham and Clapham High School and other local schools will put questions to the Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem candidates today (March 25) at a political forum.

One sixth former said: “It’s the first time we can vote; I think it’s really important what the MPs in our area are promising to do”.
