It's good to talk
19 MAY 2011
Here at City Hall, we’re constantly striving to find new ways to interact with Londoners – after all, it’s your city and you should dictate the terms on which it’s run. The Mayor and his team will lead from the front; but without your input we’d find our work far more difficult to implement.
At least once per month, the Mayor holds some form of public debate – giving you the opportunity to put questions to him about the state of London. Be they Community Conversations, People’s Question Times, Public Consultation Meetings or radio phone in and Twitter debates – the Mayor is up for the conversation.
Each year, the Mayor publishes his Annual Report letting Londoners know what he is doing to improve their lives. Be it making London safer, getting around easier, finding the right job opportunities, expanding our economy, cleaning up the air and local environment or making the most of hosting the 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games. Over the last 12 months, there have been some significant changes to London and the country as a whole.
The Comprehensive Spending Review and successive budget cuts from central government has left everyone feeling slightly nervous about the future. The Mayor has been fighting hard to protect your front line services and ensure that the economic recovery starts here in the capital. But inevitably it has led to some tough decisions being made.
On Thursday 2 June at the Methodist Central Hall Westminster, the Mayor will be available for you to question him on some of those decisions. To ensure a fair and balanced debate, Nick Ferrari from LBC radio will chair the event. Before questions are opened up to the floor, Nick will be grilling the Mayor on your behalf and he's asking Londoners to help him prepare his questions by submitting their own to him on the LBC website at: www.lbc.co.uk/talklondon
Tickets for the night are free and you can apply for them here. However, if you’re unable to get down to the event, there are other ways for you to participate. As well as submitting your questions to LBC, you can also send them in to us at City Hall or tweet us @talklondon. If we don’t have time to ask your question on the night we will still get an answer back to you. You can also listen live on LBC 97.3 and LBC 1152AM and and watch live online at: www.london.gov.uk/talklondon

Its great to discuss Londoners' aspirations for their City. I believe London should be expanded out to the Thames Gateway to ensure retention of mega-city status and to expand population via creation of new job opportunities and housing. Housing in the Thames Gateway area should help promote London as the World’s greatest city while also promoting us as the best city in Europe. A series of man-made canal systems and inventive housing solutions could provide a Scandanavian-style quarter of the city with homes and new businesses along canals which also provide a solution to flood prevention via water flow and drainage control. Canal systems would also promote wildlife in the area.
London needs to be more inventive and it needs to grow. There would be plenty of room and job creation to allow a greater number of immigrants to co-exist with native Londoners – boosting London’s population accordingly – generating enough income to really improve the life of Londoners and the UK as a whole.

I can Raise 10 Million Pounds Abroad for London Air Ambulance.
---------------------------------------------
I have a unique scheme that will raise millions of pounds abroad for charitable purposes at home.No one in Britain needs to donate a penny. No investment or public funds required.
Only need public support from the Mayor for this scheme.
The scheme is the worldwide syndication of television games & entertainment. I am the best creator of TV Games in the world, and my games are designed to be shown in every country in the world without any alteration to the original format. Late American Actor Paul Newman's salad sauce, which is sold around the world, has made more than three hundred million dollars for US charitable causes. You simply sell a good or service to people around the world without even bothering to talk about the charity, and the money keeps rolling in.Thanks.
