MOPAC has identified two citizen engagement platforms relevant to your request.
TalkLondon –
Talk London is City Hall’s online community. This platform enables Londoners to have their say on big issues and help shape policy and future plans. This service is used by MOPAC to seek public input such as in the public consultation phase for the Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan. While MOPAC use TalkLondon, it is a shared platform procured and managed by the Greater London Authority for which MOPAC does not provide a financial contribution.
