Here at the Southwark News we are excited to be embarking on a new way to cover the local elections – in the hope that we will get more people out voting come May 5th.
This is the first time that we have run such a project involving video, internet and our traditional newspaper coverage. We hope that this Gogglebox-style initiative will appeal to those who do not usually engage in local politics and get them to see how important it is to go and vote. Our hand-picked focus group of local households do represent the make-up of the local population in just one small area of Southwark – the ward of Newington in Walworth.
