It is crucial that all Londoners and organisations can influence, shape and participate in our city’s recovery from COVID-19. To this end, the Recovery Programme has so far included public engagement on the Talk London online platform for community engagement, surveys of the business community, borough-led engagement and other sector specific stakeholder engagement. Over the course of this process there have been high rates of participation including:
- 68,937 total site visits to Talk London (52,272 unique)
- 1,100 comments from 609 members (aged 16–87)
