What young voters make of the local elections

Young people in Farnham in Surrey say the environment, cost of living, homelessness and the impact of AI are among their concerns ahead of the local elections.

Voters are choosing which councillors they want to represent them on two new unitary councils in West and East Surrey.

The authorities, which are being created as part of plans to reform local government in England, will replace Surrey County Council and 11 borough and district councils.

With the upcoming elections on 7 May, the BBC spoke to some students at the University for the Creative Arts.
