Mayor of Lambeth, Cllr Seleha Jaffer is on tour around the borough switching on local Christmas Lights. Team Vox caught up with her in #Brixton where she was helped by local hero Levi Roots.

The event in Brixton on Friday 2nd December 2016 was organised by Brixton Bid and sponsored by local department store Morleys and MacDonalds.

Reporter @SharraeNewell spoke to apprentice and Project Assistant Reece Swimwogere about his part in co-ordinating the switch on.
