Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 22 January 2021.
It has been said that MOPAC and the Met’s review of existing community engagement mechanisms will be completed by February 2021. Will this mark the start of a consultation on proposed changes, or will changes begin to be implemented at this point without consultation? What are the timescales for the work MOPAC and the Met will be undertaking with communities to review existing community engagement mechanisms?
We must maintain the momentum in this work, but that needs to include our communities. By February 2021, MOPAC will have commissioned an external partner to deliver an engagement programme with communities to co-design and co-produce how the engagement structures should be formed, managed and supported. Final recommendations on the overhaul of community engagement will be brought forward in early autumn
