Local elections 2024: Mayor hopefuls battle it out in crucial final day of campaign | X8Y054R | 2024-05-01 11:08:01
Candidates from Kent to Cumbria are making their final preparations ahead of polling day tomorrow.
Councils, mayors and police roles across England and Wales will be on the ballot. That includes London, where Sadiq Khan is hoping to become the first mayor to be elected to three terms.
He is up against candidates including Conservative Susan Hall, Zoe Garbett of the Greens and Lib Dem Rob Blackie. So far, they have clashed on issues including crime, housing and the controversial expansion of the city's Ulez – but Mr Khan appears to have a commanding lead going into election day.
Pollsters are predicting a tough night for the Tories across the country, as voters get an early chance to show how they might vote in the general election expected later this year.
But it's also an important opportunity for people to choose who makes the decisions that affect them every day, from bin collection times to fixing potholes in the roads.
