    • Question by: Sem Moema
    • Meeting date: 14 October 2021
    Local news in London has been on the decline for a number of years, but it is a vital tool when it comes to upholding transparency, democracy, putting community issues on the agenda and scrutinising decision-makers and elected representatives.

Is it possible that those involved in this initiative could be persuaded to provide Londoners with something slightly more uplifting in these difficult times?
