Today has been polling day across the UK – for local councillors, mayors, police and crime commissioners and for the Welsh and Northern Irish assemblies, as well as the Scottish parliament.

Islington councillor Caroline Russell, who is standing for election to the London Assembly for the Green Party, also tweeted a picture.

They'll never solve those roads with this bridge, it just gets you round the wet dock across the lock gates, they need another bridge to get across...
