Have Your Say In London and the UK on transport

 It used to be the case that public meetings were at awkward times, but now you can attend planning meetings online, hear how decisions are made, who is making them, and have your say in chat boxes or by raising your hand and speaking or asking questions.

I received this email about the future of transport in London and the north, so if you are in the UK or from the UK, or planning to move your home or business to the UK you might be interested.
