YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

LBC's George Icke hit the neighbourhoods of Birmingham to find out how residents are voting as the polls for local elections open.

Millions of voters are heading to the polling stations today for elections in England, Scotland and Wales that will have huge implications for all the major political parties.

While some will have cast their vote already by post or in four flexible pilot schemes in English councils, most will be heading to their polling station between 7am and 10pm.

Counting of the votes for the Scottish and Welsh parliaments will not start until Friday morning, but 46 of the 136 English local authorities are doing so overnight, with the first results expected soon after midnight.

Four councils are not counting until Saturday, three because they also have mayoral elections, and the final result is likely to be late on Saturday night.
