Description: As voter registration closes for the local elections at 23:59 on Thursday 14 April, how much do young Londoners care about them? Voters across the capital will have the chance to elect their councillors and mayors on 5 May. With a turnout of 29.7%, Barking and Dagenham was the London borough with the lowest such figure at the last local elections, according to the Electoral Commission, so BBC London went to a high street in Barking to talk to local residents.
